Bowling for the Green - A Bowling Green Falcons Story

[RoundingThird]

Hi everyone, this will be my first dynasty here at OS. I'm open to constructive criticism or ideas for new things.

A new coach has been hired at Bowling Green State University, the 30 year old graduate of UConn, Sam Freday. Coach Freday comes in to take over a program that has had limited success in recent years, going 22-28 since the start of 2009. Coach Freday will certainly try to bring back the glory the team had when coached by Doyt Perry in the 1950's and 1960's, and Urban Meyer for a brief two year period in 2001 and 2002.

Over the course of his time here, Coach Freday will try to:
Win at least 2 MAC Championships
Try to sign a top 50 recruiting class each year
Win at least 8 games per year
Get to a BCS bowl game
Beat a top 5 team in their home stadium (without custom schedules)
