A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Prologue:
Most of you already know me but for those who don't I am Cheese2121. I am an avid football fan. I follow the Virginia Tech Hokies, Buffalo Bills and the Atlanta Falcons. I will be taking on the persona of Dan Clayton (this is not my real name) the new head coach at Eastern Michigan. I love doing these projects and I have definitely learned a lot and continue to do so. I was a longtime lurker on VSN and on the sportsgamer forums before that. I've always enjoyed reading franchise stories dating back to the RockUrSocks's Raiders and Bucs franchises. As always any constructive criticism is welcome, I am constantly searching for new ways to improve my franchise reporting. I am doing this for my enjoyment and hope that you will enjoy it as well. I will warn you right now, updates may be incredibly slow at times as I am in veterinary school and some weeks can barely find time to breathe. That being said, I do intend on keeping this going for a long time. I have been inspired by many of you and in turn would like to extend a special thank you to the following users: Deegeezy, Tearz49ers, Woy, RockUrSocks, mjhyankees, JohnnyU, Matt10, mfbmike, Lumpkin, G-Force, ChillCavern, DJ Rhude, Dal Reborn, and many many more. I would also like to thank brady2moss, Agent, franchise and blorbz1 for putting together all of my banners. As always guys, give me a chance to post my introduction things before posting, I'll let you know when. Without any further ado I would like to welcome you to A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty...Thank you for following and I hope you enjoy.

Personal Statement
This franchise will be as realistic as I can possibly make it. Almost all of my settings will be on Heisman. I chose Eastern Michigan for a variety of reasons. Most of my family comes from the Michigan area and has close ties /works at both Michigan State and the University of Michigan. I wanted the challenge of a truly struggling program that has never known winning in recent years. Toss in the added possibility of some inclement weather and needless to say the storylines are already beginning to write themselves in my mind. As I said in the prologue, sometimes updates could be very slow due to school and a million other things. Don't expect lots of games to be churned out quickly. I would much rather take my time. This report will be about quality before quantity. Please don't bash others in my thread. I welcome criticism as always but I would like not to have arguments and such going on in here. I am a very laid back guy and am not here to argue/fight with anyone. I would love to hear your opinions/criticisms but I don't want people getting attacked on my thread. This is for fun, let's try to keep it that way. Thank you for following and once again welcome and I hope you enjoy.

Why NCAA ’12: If you have followed my work in the past, you may remember I actually ran an Eastern Michigan dynasty on NCAA ’12 back in the day. However, it was never completed and was always a story I felt still had a lot left to give. Rather than resume the series, I have decided to completely restart it (i.e. all of this is new and from scratch). NCAA ’12 is one of my favorite football games of all time and I have settings that seem to work great for me. I still get chills when the intro video comes…. “Another season is upon us…”

Recruiting Rules

-There will be no firm restrictions on who can and cannot be recruited initially. It is the hope that with the recruiting difficulty set on Heisman, it will be extremely difficult to have unrealistic recruiting classes. Keeping in mind that Eastern Michigan should have a very difficult time landing strong recruits.

-If it is clear, that recruiting has become too easy for the user than restrictions will be implemented as to how many players of each caliber can be recruited and what the interest level must be.

-As a general rule of thumb, when recruiting I will target positions of need and hometown/pipeline players first. A strong emphasis will be placed on recruiting realistically (ie. I won't be going after the 5-Star running back from Texas who has no interest in me initially). If I don't have a kicker for next year, chances are he will be near the top of my board, etc. I will almost always target only players who have some level of interest in my school already.

Redshirting

- Redshirts can be used at my discretion, although keeping with the emphasis on realism. Redshirts will rarely be used on players other than freshmen.

Players Leaving/Transferring

- Players can leave and transfer to my school without interference. That is to say, if a player wants to leave he cannot be talked into staying and all transfers in will be accepted.

-No player may be talked into staying who wishes to leave for the NFL draft.

Rules Amendment Log
-Season 3 (2013): Recruiting and scheduling restrictions implemented allowing for only ten players on the recruiting board at one time. See post #340 for full breakdown.

-Season 5 (2015) prior to Bowl Game: Sliders increased for CPU, QB accuracy (50), pass blocking (60), WR catching (60), RB ability (60), run blocking (65), pass coverage (60), pass rush (60), interceptions (45), rush defense (70), tackling (60), FG accuracy (60), punt accuracy (60)

-Season 7 (2017) prior to Game 4: Quarter length increased from 8 minutes to 9 minutes in order to increase the total number of plays per game.

Welcome to the factory!

Good luck at EMU, cheese, I'll be reading. EMU has never, ever, had success in football...this is the biggest challenge you can get.

Please tell l me Bro your still doing your jags chisel?

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

nice dude, glad to see you're doing a NCAA chise as well! i'll be following

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Thanks guru! I was definitely missing my NCAA fix and call me old fashioned but I loved the days before playoffs and all the different bowl games.

My family is actually all in Michigan (my dad is a professor at University of Michigan) and I have family that are both Wolverine and Spartan alums. Couple that tie in to the state, with the massive rebuilding project, the possibility of snow games, etc. etc. and I just get more and more excited about this project. Looking at the roster, it will be a massive undertaking. Hope you continue to check in and enjoy!

Of course my friend! The Jaguars franchise will definitely be continuing. I am loving that project and have every intention of keeping it going for a very long time.

I figured it was time to get back to college football and this was a team and game that have always intrigued me. I am really looking forward to having both this and my Jaguars franchise going. Hope you enjoy!

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Looking forward to your dynasty, I occasionally read the dynasties sitting in the DSS forums because they were really good like BDawg and ToySoldier's work. Cool to see the nod to Virginia Tech, I went there for a couple of years (never finished because of out-of-state tuition).

I loved NCAA 12 too, though after playing NCAA 14 it's been hard to get back into it. NCAA/Madden 12 were my favorite combo in a very long time, hopefully the climb up for Eastern Michigan will be fun. I've played games with them before though I can't remember the names of anyone. Their QB seemed to be strong with the read option (though that may have been the game), and their #1 WR was fast for the MAC.

Good luck.

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

EMU will be a massive rebuild, but I'm pumped to see what you can do!

Side note: During this time period, Mike Hart was on EMU's staff, so the RBs should be playing pretty well.

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Thank you for the kind words my friend and I hope you enjoy my work as much as some of the greats you mentioned. The nod to Virginia Tech is actually me incorporating some of my real life. I got my bachelor's in bio-engineering from Virginia Tech before going on to veterinary school for a doctorate (which I am currently pursuing). I grew up on Hokie football. The mention is also a nod to the last NCAA report I did which was a Virginia Tech one. Very cool too that you were a Hokie for some time but I completely understand the tuition concerns.

NCAA '12 has probably been my favorite football games of all time and I think one of the best out of the box (needing minimal slider adjustments, etc.). I loved this game during my undergraduate days and it will always hold a special place for me. I am really excited to get back to it although I am sure I will be very rusty on the sticks and controls. And yes, Kinsman Thomas (WR#1) is a beast! He will be a big part of our offense. Aside from him and a few others, we have a huge rebuilding project on our hands. Hope you continue to follow and check in!

Thank you my friend! And happy to see a Michigan man in the area. My family is all in Ann Arbor right now. My dad is a department head at Michigan actually.

This is definitely a huge rebuild project, perhaps the biggest I have ever taken on but I am excited for it (hopefully I don't get fired in the first couple of seasons!). We have two quality backs this first season in Sherrer and Welch, who I expect to lean heavily on. Should be quite the undertaking. Hope you continue to check in and enjoy!

Around the NCAA: Preseason

Year 1 (2011), Game 1, Wyoming at Eastern Michigan
 

AP Ypsilanti – The Eastern Michigan Eagles got an opening day victory as they topped the Wyoming Cowboys 38-20. The matchup marked the first time the two schools had ever met on the football field. Senior HB Corey Welch took home player of the game honors as he compiled 122 yards and three scores. Welch didn't get the majority of his work in until the second half when HB Dominique Sherrer left with an ankle injury. The two senior tailbacks are expected to split carries moving forward.<div style="float: right; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 5px; width: 260px; text-align: center;" ><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/c35d/m2a85moycl87rsc6g.jpg" /><br /><small>Senior WR Travis Hunter will be called upon to step up with the injury to Kinsman Thomas.</small></div>

Wyoming relied heavily on the arm of freshman QB Adam Pittser, who lead the no-huddle spread offense. Pitsser had a solid showing throwing for 268 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys took a 20-17 lead into halftime. However, the second half would be all Eastern Michigan, as the Eagles scored 21 unanswered points to take home the 38-20 win.

Welch ran wild in the second half, scoring three times on runs of 1, 2 and 30 yards. The 30 yard touchdown run was one for the highlight reels as, the senior spun away from two would be tacklers before outrunning the defense down the sideline.

"We are really lucky in that we have two tremendous seniors at the halfback position in Corey (Welch) and Dominique (Sherrer). They are both going to get a lot of touches moving forward." -- Eagles Head Coach Dan Clayton

Eastern Michigan (1-0) will be at home again next week as they take on the Navy Midshipmen (1-0). Navy won their season opener against Delaware 24-14. The game will be broadcast regionally and is scheduled to kick off at 12 pm EST.

Injury Note: Eagles star junior WR Kinsman Thomas suffered a strained back in the win and is expected to miss the next two games with the injury. Before being hurt, Thomas had five catches for 78 yards and a score.

Year 1 (2011), Game 2, Navy at Eastern Michigan
 

AP Ypsilanti – The Eastern Michigan Eagles moved to 2-0 on the season as they downed the Navy Mid-Shipmen 42-20 in the second week of the season. Senior HB Corey Welch took home player of the game honors for the second week in a row as he scored twice on the ground and added a kick return touchdown in the second half. Despite sharing time with fellow senior HB Dominique Sherrer, Welch continues to have a fantastic season with five rushing touchdowns already. For Navy, their triple option attack was led by senior FB Alexander Teich. Teich had 90 yards on the ground and scored twice. <div style="float: right; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 5px; width: 260px; text-align: center;" ><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/6b19/9l8l8udsls8podr6g.jpg" /><br /><small>Redshirt junior safety Alex Bellfy continues to lead the defense, collecting six tackles and an interception in the win.</small></div>

Disaster would strike for the Eagles midway through the second quarter when QB Alex Gillett took a hard hit and lay motionless on the ground. He had to carried off the field by trainers. Imaging later confirmed that the junior signal caller had suffered a broken collarbone which will end his season. Rather than burn the redshirt on true freshman QB Mark Iannotti, head coach Dan Clayton said the team would go with redshirt freshman QB Tyler Benz. Benz played decently in one half of playing throwing for over 150 yards, a touchdown and an interception.

Benz will be thrown into the fire immediately as his first collegiate start will come on the road at the 'Big House' against the 24th ranked Wolverines.

"It is a really devastating blow to our offense to lose Alex (Gillett). He is a tremendous competitor and a leader. No one is taking this injury harder than he is but I know he will continue to be a big part of this team from the sidelines. " -- Eagles Head Coach Dan Clayton

Eastern Michigan (2-0) will travel to Ann Arbor, Michigan and the 'Big House' to take on the 24th ranked Michigan Wolverines. The Wolverines are coming off a thrilling night time victory last week in primtime against then 21st ranked Notre Dame. Michigan won a 51-44 shootout led by quarterback Denard Robinson. Michigan won the last meeting with Eastern Michigan in 2009 and holds a dominant 9-0 all time series lead over the Eagles. The game is scheduled to kick off at 12pm on Saturday and will be regionally broadcast.

2011 Eastern Michigan Schedule/Results

(2-0) at #24 (2-0)

All Time Series Record (9-0 Michigan)
Last Meeting Michigan W 45-17 (2009)

Year 1 (2011), Week 2, Around the NCAA
 

Year 1 (2011), Game 3, Eastern Michigan at #24 Michigan
 

AP Ann Arbor – Despite being without Heisman hopeful QB Denard Robinson, the Michigan Wolverines had no problem easily dispatching their in-state foes, the Eastern Michigan Eagles, 34-10. Senior HB Michael Shaw scored twice in the first quarter before suffering a broken collarbone, that will most likely end his season. Shaw has already said he still plans to enter the NFL Draft this coming April. For Eastern Michigan, their usually dynamic running game was completely stifled by the Wolverine front seven. The senior duo of HB Dominique Sherrer and HB Corey Welch combined for a measly 43 yards on the ground. <div style="float: right; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 5px; width: 260px; text-align: center;" ><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/d617/huyw0ynagy8z2jd6g.jpg" /><br /><small>Junior tight end Garrett Hoskins had his best game of the season with 8 catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.</small></div>

Eastern Michigan redshirt freshman QB Tyler Benz made his first collegiate start. He had an up and down game, completing fifty percent of his passes while throwing a touchdown and two interceptions. For Michigan, sophomore QB Devin Gardner saw his first action of the season, throwing for 262 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Robinson is expected to return from his injury and start in week four. He was held out of the Eastern Michigan game strictly as a precaution.

Eastern Michigan will get one of their key offensive weapons back next week as WR Kinsman Thomas returns from a strained back injury, he suffered in week one.

"We aren't there yet as a team and a program, but I look forward to the days when we can come into the Big House and keep pace with a storied program such as Michigan. We are not as far off as many think." -- Eagles Head Coach Dan Clayton

Re: Year 1 (2011), Game 3, Eastern Michigan at #24 Michigan
 

Looking good as always Cheese. Sadly I skipped NCAA '12. '11 was my personal favorite.

Great start to the year; I can't hold that Michigan loss against you. Ya'll were just too overmatched. Your boy Welch has sure cooled down after the fast start. 6 attempts for 7 yards? Ouch.

Unfortunately, Notre Dame may be more of the same.

On a side note, I may have to re-evaluate our friendship....



Damn bro, just damn. :jpshakehe

Awesome Around the Nation report cheese, love the mix of graphics and data plus the scroll bar for the top 25 works nicely so it doesn't take up too much room.

Always fun trying to turn around a school without much football tradition.

Year 1 (2011), Game 4, Eastern Michigan at Notre Dame
 

AP South Bend – Notre Dame took care of business to pick up their second win of the season, as they downed Eastern Michigan 26-10. The game marked the first meeting between the two schools on the football and was expected to be a blow out. The Eastern Michigan defense played tough and kept the game competitive for most of the contest. Notre Dame junior HB Cierre Wood lead the Fighting Irish on offense, running for 118 yards and a score on the day. Senior signal caller, QB Dayne Crist, had an efficient day under center throwing for 165 yards a score. For Eastern Michigan the ground game woes continued as the team failed to establish a consistent ground game for the second week in a row. <div style="float: right; border: 1px solid #ddd; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; padding-top: 5px; width: 260px; text-align: center;" ><img src="http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/0c3d/j8p86347hi29db86g.jpg" /><br /><small>Redshirt freshman quarterback Tyler Benz has struggled since taking over for the injured Alex Gillett. Through three games, Benz has thrown 2 touchdowns and 5 interceptions.</small></div>

Eastern Michigan redshirt freshman QB Tyler Benz scored the team's only touchdown on a four yard scramble in the second quarter. Benz had another rough outing as he threw two interceptions in the hostile environment. Benz has struggled since taking over for injured starting QB Alex Gillett, who's season ended abruptly in week two with a broken collarbone.

Eastern Michigan was thrilled to get the services of junior WR Kinsman Thomas back as he returned from a week one injury. Thomas had a huge day in the loss, hauling in eleven passes for 134 yards. He will continue to be a centerpiece of the Eagles' offense.

"I know it is a loss, but I think our defense deserves credit for a heck of a game. They kept us in it against one of the top teams in the nation in talent level." -- Eagles Head Coach Dan Clayton

Eastern Michigan (2-2) will head back home next week as they open conference play against the Akron Zips (1-3). The Zips won their first game of the season last week in a 31-7 victory over Howard. Akron has won the past three matchups against their conference foes. They are lead by offensive captain junior QB Patrick Nicely. Kickoff is scheduled for this upcoming Saturday at 3:30 pm EST.

FIFTY pass attempts?! Okay Mike Leach.

Looks like you guys hung tough with Notre Dame, hopefully your defense can have some more games like that.

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Hopefully playing opponents more on Eastern Michigan's current level will allow them to do something about the running game before falling behind. I'm sure Benz having to throw 50 times was not in the gameplan.

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Wow not a bad showing against Notre Dame. For some reason they are always nasty in my games and I hate it.

Eastern Michigan is a huge project! Looking forward to seeing what you can do with them.

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

Gotta stick with the run... Second you get away from it is when you throw your chances out the window against the big boys!

Re: A Rising Storm in the North | Cheese's Eastern Michigan Dynasty
 

I was really happy with how our defense played. A strong showing against a very good Irish offense. If we can play half that well against some of the MAC opponents we could have a very competitive season. Thanks for checking in!

I am definitely excited to get into the conference schedule. I think we should be able to at least keep pace with most of the teams in the MAC. Anywhere close to six wins would be a huge accomplishment for this team. Like you said, we should be able to open up the running game some more as well. I favor a very heavy run first offense. It has just been to difficult to execute that with how weak our offensive line is. Thanks for following along and checking in my friend!

Thank you for the kind words and following my project! Definitely an enormous undertaking here with Eastern Michigan but it is one I am having a lot of fun with and continue to be very excited for. Someday we will be competing with and beating the likes of Notre Dame, we just aren't there yet. Hope you continue to follow along and enjoy!

Completely agree. Hopefully in a couple seasons, we will have the offensive line in place to be able to sustain the ground games against the front seven of these powerhouse schools. Thanks for following!
