Ardent the Walk On? Interest in another dynasty?
I have been thinking about my walk on dynasty lately. It is hard for me to believe that it has been over 3 years since I wrote and played it out. I am sorry the pro football story never panned out. The more I wrote about turning pro, the more I realized I was really out of my element. I started getting uncomfortable with the dynasty.
I have been thinking about giving Ardent another shot at college football, though. Maybe make him a walk on freshman this time, who in a similar fashion finds himself the #1 quarterback for a national championship caliber team, and holds the reigns through the years. I have thought about just running the same Ardent storyline, but this time using either a pro or I formation as the base set. Any thoughts or ideas out of you guys?

The one thing that strikes me here is the phrase "catching lightning in a bottle".
That's what you did, IMO, with the original dynasty: produce the single finest dynasty thread in FOFC history. My worry would be that you might find yourself disappointed with this one, no matter how it turns out. You may have simply set the bar too high the first time. That said, if you believe you'd enjoy a redux, then I'd immediately say "Go for it", you sure as heck earned that right with the outstanding job on the first one.

I liked a lot the idea, but this time if i were you, i would do the same but in another sport (college hoops?) so you won't get bored for doing something you have done already. Anyway i'll read whatever you do

I appreciate the comments. Initially, the lack of comments had me write off the idea. Jeff sold me on the sequel comment; I won't be doing another football walk on story.
I've been itching to write something, though.

Man, this would make an awesome interactive dynasty. I want to be the big play WR who has questionable catching skills.
