You mean how did my real teams do in the EA game...?
I've run 2 dynasty seasons so far prior to the ECU season, one with Vandy, the other with Wake Forest:
- In the Vandy dynasty, Carolina and Duke sucked. Vandy finished 5-6. Shoulda been 6-5 with a bowl appearance, but my wideout fumbled the mf'in football at the 2-yard line in the 2OT vs. Tennessee. :bang:
- In the Wake dynasty, Carolina and Duke sucked. Wake was 9-2 in the regular season, including wins over FSU and Miami. Finished 10-2 with a 30-0 blowout over West Virginia.
As for my bandwagon of choice this season, I purchased season tix for Duke (
cheap, plus I can see Maryland, Virginia, Clemson, and hopefully John Bunting's last season at Carolina -- can't beat good value like that).
I'm also planning on seeing an Elon game (vs. Western Carolina).
Speaking of "out-of-state".. I have an eye out on that Vandy bandwagon for next season, as I plan to make a trip back "home" to see a game in Nashville...

Back to my ECU dynasty...
I'm more stunned that ECU isn't at least #30 at this point, but I suspect that has to do with the fact that:
1) ECU's a ** (2-star) outfit, and
2) None of the games have been televised
IIRC, Memphis is ranked, Southern Miss is number #10 currently (WTF!!?), and NC State is ranked, so if I can get some TV expo, I'll have the Pirates in the top-15 by season's end...
