Go Tigers Go! 2007 Season

[MacroGuru]

Just a thread to get the season started.

Several new things...I am borrowing some of the face packs from Total Pro Football and Total Pro Basketball so I have images for Recruits, Scouts and Coaches.

I will also be using the Helmets from TCY Helpers to show on the Weekly Box Score Screens (Thanks Mizzourah for the idea).

Recruits, Scouts and Coaches will all be set inside a template, for it to be a bit easier to read and for me to enter all the information in.

Is there anything else, you would like to see in the dynasty? Anything weekly?

Final Bell Sounding?

It was a hard thing, trying to figure out how I was going to fire my defensive coordinator, he was decent, but he wasn't ramping the guys up like he should have.

Well, the hassle was saved when I received the phone call.

"Hey coach, it's Rob. Listen, this is going to be hard for me, because we started off well. I know that their is pressure and camps from within that want me gone. So, I am going to make it easy. I am resigning from my position as DC. Texas Tech has tossed some serious cash my way, and it saves us both the hassle."

"Rob listen, I wish you the best of luck, I appreciated everything, and you were right, I was told by administration before the end of last season I had to let you go. No hard feelings?"

"None at all coach, take care"

And with that, my problem was taken care of.

However, my other problems had just started, spread in front of me were 3 resignation letters from my scouts. 2 of them are retiring, and one of them was moving on.

Then there was the request for transfer from OLB Newhart, not a major hit, but we are taking a shot there.

Finally, we have the suspension of WR Freddie Porter due to academic failures.

These should be easy. Interview the right people, and I will have them field.

Looking at our schedule, I pick up the phone to set up a couple of games. It takes a bit, but about 5 days later I have it filled up. Looks like San Diego State and Shelbyville are on the schedule.

I can't wait to see this incorporated into your dynasty! Great idea!!

New Defensive Coordinator

With all that was out there, I went for the best I could find. If someone else comes along that is better, trust me, I will jump on getting them.

Offensively, we should be a force to reckon with, but I am concerned about the DL again.

[MacroGuru]

Week 1 Overview

We have a bye week to get everyone situated and ready to handle San Diego State.

We start recruiting, and we can hope that we can do really well this season.

[MacroGuru]

Week 1 Recruiting Report

No commitments, focused on the following positions

WR
FB
TE
DT

Also invites were made to QB, OT, ILB, CB as well.

[MacroGuru]

Week 2 Overview

We travel to San Diego to face the 25th ranked team in the nation. This game will be televised regionally on ESPN+

After much discussion, we went back to the Pro Set formation as it allows a few more blocking, and less of a beating on Carlos, although he will be our primary focus.

Defensively, we are back into a 50 or 34 set.

Week 2 Injury Report

Good thing, I was thinking someone might have blown their ACL out while shopping or something this week.

[BYU 14]

Great idea on the facebacks, hey try and get a game with BYU next Season and I will look to hook up a home and home with Memphis when I have an open slot in my BYU dynasty.

Thanks!

BYU has rejected every schedule I have offered to them..I will have to do an away with them I think to get the schedule. I am hoping to get a home and away with them though.

They slammed us pretty good on the run, but we more than made up for it in the air. We were driving for the game winning touchdown with one minute left, and threw the INT on the San Diego State 39 yard line.

Hopefully things get better here on out.

Week 3 Overview

Heading into Mississippi State as 5 point underdogs isn't to bad. What we need to do is load up the front of the line, I am thinking we might go with a 4-3 or 4-6 and see if we can stop them that way.

We have to focus, I hate starting the conference in the hole.

Week 3 Recruiting Report

None of the recruits we are pursuing have signed anywhere.

Week 4 Overview

We welcome an 0-2 Shelbyville team to the Liberty Bowl. We are 7 point favorites in this game. However, I am not to happy with the way defense is playing.

I will work with Scott on the defense, and we may tweak it a bit. Same with the offense, we need to look at it, see where we are being read, and modify it.

Week 4 injury report



Player # Pos Elig Health Injury Full Strn.
Brewer, Lonnie 40 ILB Jr Probable Bruised Ribcage 3 Weeks
Crane, Kendall 97 DE Sr Probable Bad Cold 1 Week


Lonnie has a dinged up ribcage, which he actually sustained in practice. He will give some spot time while injured, so we will rely on some of the backups here.

We blitzed the SS Ralph a little more than normal, had him hovering up near the box, enough to confuse their QB. When he got in, he was forcing plays away in areas that were causing a lot of shots to happen.

Week 5 Overview

Early Morning after the game against Shelbyville I get a call.

"Hey Coach, it's me Preston"

rubbing the sleep from my eyes, picking the alarm clock, and tossing it back down upon realization it's 3 am.

"What do you want Weber, and it better be damn good, it's 3 am."

"Coach, I'm in jail"

That got my attention, I was immediately awake.

"Weber, what happened, tell me."

"Coach, I did something stupid, and I need you to help me out."

"Hang in there kid, I will help, but your parents, they will know about this as well. They will have to pay your bail, your dad, he is a hard ass, he may make you sit there."

"I know coach, just help"


With that, I place a few phone calls, one back to the police station to find the bail amount, the other to his parents to have them Western Union the money.

When all was said and done, several hours later, I wearily walk out of the police station with Preston Weber, he was a red shirt sophmore Center. I use the term was, as I have to suspend him for the season. He was in violation of team rules by being arrested, and for the reason of the arrest. I have to stick to my guns, He said he understood, but I don't know, the kids grades are the best they have ever been, and he is cruising to be the starting center next season. Let's hope he stays around.

As for this weeks game, we have 44th ranked, 2-0 Army coming into the Liberty Bowl as we are 5 point underdogs.

A few tweaks again on defense and offense, and I think we can work these guys pretty good.

Week 9 Overview

Sitting at 3-3, and travelling to Houston to take on a 2-3 Houston squad where the current line is even.

Tweaking the defense, I am still wondering if the 3-4 is our true solution, It has done well so far, but I don't know if it's a solid fit for our talent.

Offensively, we need to get carruth into the run game more.

Week 10 Overview

We travel to Tulane as 7 point underdogs. Tulane is 3-4 like we are. I am moving into the 4-6, bringing the saftey up, I will focus on Man and Bump and run, and if we do zone, it will be a cover 3.

Week 10 Injury Report

Lewis and his hammy still.

[BYU 14]

Carruth had a huge day against Houston, that is a shame it went for naught. Good luck against the Green wave!

better. No one has really rode him as far as academics, and I will be on his butt

pretty good.

Week 11 Overview

We invite 34th ranked Louisville into the Liberty Bowl, we are only 3 point underdogs. We are travelling poorly this season, and I do not know how to handle it.

Anyways, the changes we made last week worked, Teppers racked up 3.5 sacks, lets hope he can do it this week as well.

Week 11 Recruiting Report

We had the following recruit sign elsewhere:

However, a big day with 3 very decent recruits. They are all within the top 100 of their respective positions:

A solid player with a hard work ethic on the field, I am hoping to assist in
translating that into the classroom. He will be a good hole plugger on Offense for
the blitz and opening them up on the runs.

Wanna call this one my gamble? I think it is. But the hidden talent here is
amazing, we have to work on his attitude and school work, he is going to get one
chance here, and if he can't hack it, better luck to him somewhere else.

Week 12 Overview

ESPN+ follows us as we play East Carolina. We are on the road, which hasn't fared well for us lately. Also, East Carolina are 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the conference. The line up to kick off is we are 14 point underdogs. Looking at some of the injuries, I can see why.

Week 12 Injury Report

Player # Pos Elig Health Injury Full Strn.
Freeman, Bob 91 TE Sr Out Broken Clavicle 14 Weeks
Burnstine, Austin 84 TE Jr Out Severe Wrist Spra 8 Weeks
Crowther, Billy 77 DE Jr* Out Broken Wrist 7 Weeks
Brewer, Lonnie 40 ILB Jr Probable Broken Hand 4 Weeks
Kemp, Dean 29 CB Jr* Probable Bad Cold 2 Weeks
Lynn, Wade 43 OLB Fr Questionable Hyperextended Kne 2 Weeks


The 2 TE's hurt us last week, but this week, a starting DE, Starting CB, Starting ILB, and Starting OLB will hurt us defensively.

Carruth again, is a solid guy, I think he will stay next season, but the scouts are already out there for him. He is in the Top 15 in rushing this season. And Drake is proving, when he can focus, he can lead us.

A hard nosed, bright kid with a nose for the ball. He likes to blitz, and he makes

Product of playing in a good passing defense, in a pass heavy offense region. He
has the nose, but not a lot of strenght, we hope to work on his talents, and see
where we can get him.

This kid is flying in under the radar, he is all state in Idaho, a few of the

hope we are able to translate that to the field at the Collegiate level.

Talented kid out of Illinois that just wanted nothing to do with us. We were
persistent, and finally convinced him to trip to Memphis. He loved the region, and
the atmosphere. He was impressed with our program. I am shocked we were able to
sign him.

#1 QB out of Oregon that is extremely bright and can through the deep ball well.
It could translate into a great passing program for us. People are starting to
murmur that we are having the makings of a QB U in Memphis.

Week 13 Overview

We are sitting at 5-5 and have a 1-9 Alabama-Birmingham coming to the Liberty Bowl, it has taken me a couple of seasons to realize the rivalry, but I hate this team with a passion, and I want to take it out on them majorly.

This is our chance at a winning season, and even a glimmer of hope at a bowl game.

Week 13 Recruiting Report

We have RB Andy James, that said he would walk on to our school, and as soon as I have a scholarship available for him, I will sign him to it. Andy is the #1 RB from Arkansas, and should help back us up well in the Running Game.

[MacroGuru]

Weeks 14 - Bowl Games

We have byes up until the bowl season.

We did not get an invite, which I figured would be the case, next season is bowl or bust for us.

I still do not know if I will have a job at the start of the year, I guess we will find out.

In Week 15, we had another Walk On commit, DE Cedric Lewis.

[BYU 14]

Good job on a winning Season Coach, looks like you are poised for bigger and better things in 08

[MizzouRah]

I agree, it' only up from here. I hope the AD sees you are making progress.
