This is fantastic! I've always wanted to do something like this myself. I did write an entire fictional NASCAR season once, but I've never quite been able to commit to it in the way that I'd like. I'm going to live vicariously through you for this.

I think I've missed the entire pitch here. Can you explain it to me? What is this series? How often do you plan to report on UEC? Regardless, I can see myself being a big fan of this kind of thing. I see there's a preseason thing up already, but I can't wait for the season to get going. I think this is a really fantastic idea.

Glad you're hopping into this, Robbie!

Essentially, the pitch is to follow UEC throughout their season and show how an SID would cover the team. That was my former job, so I thought it would be fun to share that expertise with y'all!

This is crazy! As a former D1 intern I’ve been keeping a pretty in-depth spreadsheet, but this is a whole new level!

It was a ton of fun to make up! I've got some wild spreadsheet stuff for this dynasty ready to go too, but I think making the actual media guides and game notes add another layer of immersion that I'm really enjoying so far.

I started keeping spreadsheets around Madden 21 because I found they really did help with immersion. I found a template I liked on Reddit but after iterating I’ve really made it my own. The need for additional tracking is exacerbated by CFB25’s total lack of record keeping. I’m working in hockey PR right now, but I still miss football, so my spreadsheet makes up for it.

Here’s the link to that if you want to check it out, but I’ll be reading the whole media guide after I eat my lunch!

I love that spreadsheet! I've got a similar one I've also found on Reddit and tweaked a bit. The spreadsheets definitely help keep track of everything and I've fully given up on CFB25 doing anything stat-wise
