Hello everyone and welcome back to the UEC Bighorns Dynasty!
At long last, it’s time to kick off the inaugural UEC Bighorns season and the first game at Miller Memorial Stadium in a rivalry matchup against Colorado!
Before you get into the game, let’s take a look at the Game Notes for this affair:
What are game notes?
Game notes are a collection of information for a particular game about a team. The SIDs craft game notes for each game, with the length oftentimes varying for each sport. Football, obviously, is the longest for most schools, sometimes hitting the 50 page mark. Basketball is much shorter at 10-20 pages, while other Olympic sports can come in at a single page or up to five or six. It really depends on the department and what all they want reported on.
In our case, there’s only one page for this first game. That comes from the fact that there simply isn’t any history or information about the UEC team. Instead, we have a few notes about this being the first game in program and Miller Memorial Stadium history.
So what’s missing from these game notes? Let’s go into a list and see:
Stats. Obviously, we have no stats. I could piece together something based on the fake stats I made up before this season, but that’s a lot of work and the stats had no rhyme or reason, so we’ll let it slide. We will see some stats coming in starting next week, though.
Last Time It Happened. Another very obvious omission because a lot has never happened! This will probably be added in the future
Player/Coach Bios. In all honesty, I forgot to add this section. It’s really a copy-paste straight from the media guide so it shouldn’t be too hard to do. Expect this added in later.
Miller Memorial Stadium Info. Again, completely forgot about this (hey, I’m a bit rusty on this side of SID things, cut me some slack). It’ll get added in.
Series History/Last Time Out. Like we’ve discussed, a lot’s never happened. Including series against other teams. We’ll see this one come in starting in the 2025 Eastern Colorado season.
Media Information. An important section, but purposeful omission because the media information is here at Substack. Welcome!
But there you have it - the game notes for this major UEC v. Colorado matchup. I hope you like it! And drop any thoughts you have on UEC, the series, and more in the comments below!
