    The Diary of Fritz Brady REDUX (NCAA 08)

    I began a dynasty last year that died because of the death of my PS2. With a new 360 and a copy of NCAA 08 in my hands, I thought I'd give this another shot with the new Legacy mode on the 360. I figure I'd give it another shot, with a few differences here and there. I hope there's interest in something like this.

    --- The Diary of Fritz Brady -- November 11, 2006 ---
    ----------------------------------------------------------

    I've read that there are some things, some moments in a person's life where everything changes: your first bike ride, your first day away from home and your parents, your first kiss. For me, next Friday will be one of those days.

    We made the playoffs. Not a big deal to a lot of kids playing sports, but it is for me. This year, I think we actually have a shot of doing something, and more importantly for me and my parents, there's gonna be scouts at the first game. For me. This means I might actually be able to go to a college and not bankrupt my parents in doing so.

    Obviously, my dad wants me to go to West Virginia, but I'm not sure being a quarterback that doesn't have 4.4 speed will do well in that offense. I'm more of a pocket passer, and I've never run an option play in my life. So, as much as I'd like to wear the blue and gold, being from West Virginia and all, I doubt if they'd be much interested in someone like me.

    Marshall, though, might be a different story. I had a scout from Marshall come to one of my games against Poca, but they didn't say anything, and my coach says they didn't speak much aside from the normal introductions. We'll see.

    My dad's watching some highlights from the Sugar Bowl a few years back. He keeps looking at the game, and smiling at me. He finally points to the TV screen and says "It's gonna be nice seeing you in Morgantown.

    I'd hate to disapoint him. I just don't think West Virginia is in my future, as much as my dad wants it.

            Thanks everyone for the kind words. My internet is down at home, so I'm scribbing some info down for when I go to work, then typing it in here. So forgive me in advance for the lack of graphics. It's supposed to be a diary, so there really shouldn't be any graphics anyway.

            In any case, I hope you enjoy the read. If anyone has suggestions for improving the dynasty once it starts going, I'm all ears.

              ---------------------------------------------------------

              Practice today sucked. We won't know who we're gonna play in the first round until tomorrow, so it either going to be Huntington High or Capital, so we don't know the best way to gameplan, since both teams are so unlike each other. Not looking forward to playing either team, as Capital had destroyed us earlier in the season, and that bastard little creepy corner they have, #22, picked me off 3 times. He's so damn short I can't even see him in coverage half the time. Or, we have Huntington, with Johnny Rogers, that halfback that's going to Georgia Tech. He's fast, and our defense look like snails chasing after him.

              No, I'm getting too negative. Gotta look at the positive, and do what you can to help your team win, Fritz. It's hard to stay positive when it feels like the world's on your shoulders -- college recruits looking at your every move, your entire county looking to you to bring home a championship. Everyone from my pothead best friend to the cashier at the Krogers are staring at me like I was some sort of superhero that will somehow save the day for the entire town.

              My dad said I should get used to that kind of pressure, because quarterbacks at WVU are under a microscope at all times. So, my dad's talking about quarterback reads, when the phone rings. I reach over and grab the phone, and I honest think this was the worst time to get the best news I've heard all day:

              "Hello"
              "Is this Fritz"
              "Yes. Who's this?"
              "My name is Jim Cavanaugh, from the Virginia Polytechnical Institute and State University. I'd like to talk to you about coming to play for us."
              "Virginia whatehoochis?"

              I heard Coach Cavanaugh chuckle from the other end, then he said simply, "Virginia Tech, son. Have you heard of us?"

                You are a lucky man having the game early!

                I always thought it would be neat watching someone follow campus legend. I'll be following! Let's go Mountaineers!

                  I'll definitely be following this. I like it already. I wonder what Fritz's dad will think of him possibly going to play in Blacksburg.

                    I think Fritz's dad would think "traitor"!

                        Jim Cavanaugh is an assistant coach and is in charge of recruiting for Va Tech.


                        I figured he would be the first to contact a potential recruit.

                            No, actually I see your point. It kinda does give the impression that Cavanaugh is the head coach.

                            For what it's worth, I had to look it up, so you're not the only one not up on assistant coaches.

                            In any case, I appreciate you reading the dynasty.

                              No prob man. Even though you're a WVU fan, you are great at stuff like this.
