General Mike comes to Ypsilanti: An NCAA 12 dynasty
Secretary: Coach Mike, there's a phone call for you, says he has a proposal for you.
Coach Mike: A phone call? From who? Secretary: I don't know, they didn't say. Coach Mike: Isn't that your job? Did he mention what kind of proposal? Secretary: I didn't think to ask his name. He said it was a job proposal. Coach Mike: Interesting, thanks Beverly. Coach Mike: Hello? Mysterious caller: Hello. Is this Coach Mike? Coach General Mike? Coach Mike: Yes, and who am I speaking to you. Mysterious Caller: This is Ron English, head coach of the Eastern Michigan Eagles. I think I have an interesting offer for you. Coach Mike: What kind of offer? English: As you may know, Eastern Michigan has not had the exactly best track record, ever. I'm trying to turn things around and we could use some sharp minded young coaches to help. I thought you would be a good fit on our staff. Mike: Ok, what did you have in mind? Something like a graduate assistant position? English: Actually, I was thinking something a little higher up the totem pole? Mike: What, like coaching the TEs? Making some recruiting phone calls? English: Actually I was thinking you could come in and coordinate both our offensive attack and our recruiting efforts. Mike: This can't be on the level. Who put you up to this? English: I can assure you this is serious. If you are interested, we can have the guidelines of a contract sent over to you for your lawyer's perusal. Mike: OK, I'm in. Send the contract over. (3 days later) English: I am pleased to announce to you the hiring of our new offensive coordinator for the 2011 season and hopefully many future years, General Mike. We can begin the Q&A now Reporter1: Coach English, General Mike lacks any experience on the college level, what makes you think he can succeed? English: I've heard good things thru the high school coaching community. Coach Mike brings great ties to our key recruiting areas; Michigan and Ohio. Hopefully with my ties in Florida we can really bring some top talent to Ypsilanti Reporter2: Coach Mike, what kind of offense are you going to put out on the field? Mike: We're going to install a pro-style attack. We're going to have 2 RBs on the field a lot. If the fullback isn't on the field, a 2nd TE will be. We may have some plays with 3 or 4 WRs on the field, but if we are playing well, we'll be coming out of the I-Formation and running it right into the teeth of the defense. Reporter1: Are you planning on recruiting anywhere besides Michigan and Ohio? Mike: I want to expand our recruiting footprint, but those are the key areas. We have some players from Canada and Illinois already so I think those will continue. Pennsylvania and Indiana are also options, and we have to go into Florida for a few playmakers every year. Reporter3: Where does your name, General, come from? Mike: You ever heard of anyone with the name Major? Well my mother wanted me to be even better than a Major.

I'm not a big sliders guy or any of that stuff, but I'm basically going to play on All-American with slow speed, and 30 speed threshold. I'll let you know if I make any major changes along the way.
As far as recruiting goes, I'm putting it on All-American as well. I'm doing a throwback conference allignment with some minor tweaks, but it's basically 1987 with the teams not around thrown in the mix. Here's the allignment I came up with. Teams with *s are TeamBuilder teams who I'll use to replace the teams who were not at least 1-AA in 1987. ACC Clemson Duke Georgia Tech Maryland North Carolina North Carolina State Virginia Wake Forest Big Ten Illinois Indiana Iowa Michigan Michigan State Minnesota Northwestern Ohio State Purdue Wisconsin Big East Boston College Connecticut Penn State Pittsburgh Rutgers Syracuse Temple West Virginia Big XII becomes SWC Arkansas Baylor Houston Rice Southern Methodist Texas Texas A&M Texas Tech Texas Christian Pac-Ten Arizona Arizona State California Oregon Oregon State Stanford UCLA USC Washington Washington State SEC Alabama Auburn Florida Georgia Kentucky Louisiana State Mississippi Mississippi State Tennessee Vanderbilt Mountain West becomes Big 8 Colorado Iowa State Kansas Kansas State Missouri Nebraska Oklahoma Oklahoma State WAC Air Force BYU Colorado State Hawaii New Mexico San Diego State Utah UTEP Wyoming Conference USA becomes Pacific Coast Athletic Association Fresno State New Mexico State San Jose State Utah State UNLV Boise State Idaho Nevada MAC Ball State Bowling Green Central Michigan Eastern Michigan Kent State Miami (OH) Ohio Toledo Western Michigan Sun Belt Florida Atlantic Florida International North Texas Louisiana Tech Louisiana Monroe Arkansas State Middle Tennessee State Western Kentucky Troy Independents Akron Army Buffalo Cincinnati East Carolina Florida State Louisiana-Lafayette Louisville Marshall Memphis Miami Navy Northern Illinois Notre Dame South Carolina Southern Mississippi Tulsa Tulane UAB UCF USF Virginia Tech BCS Setup SEC auto qualifier for Sugar Bowl Pac Ten and Big Ten auto qualifiers for the Rose Bowl Big 8 auto qualifier for Orange Bowl all other BCS spots are at-large bids.

Thanks. I did some test sims, I liked the bowl results for the most part, besides the All SEC title game. I'm gonna start posting the roster soon, if people want more in-depth info, just ask.

Interesting PCAA alignment. California/Nevada/Idaho/New Mexico/Utah footprint, albeit with lesser schools in Cali and Utah. Really liking the in-conference UNLV/UNR rivalry.

I originally planned to import team builder versions of Pacific, Long Beach State and Cal State- Fullerton and having them replace some of the teams that didn't have teams in 1987, but then I got lazy. |
