Pre-season Notes:
As an NCAA team, no buying players or the like is possible so the squad I start with is who I roll with. I have a pretty good team, with my weakest unit being my back line.

Nice to see you back here US.

Good luck, I like American stories so I'll be following..

2013 SEASON REVIEW

Season Achievements:
Conference USA Regular Season Champions

Cup Achievements:
Conference USA Tournament Champions
NCAA Championship College Cup Champions

Season Position/Record:
7-1-0 Conference Record (1st Place)
10-1-0 Non-Conference Schedule
2-0-0 Conference USA Championship Tournament
5-0-0 NCAA Championship College Cup
24-2-0 OVERALL RECORD

Board Status: Very Secure
Job Applications/Offers: Only offer was for an extension at Tennessee, which I accepted.

Season Notes:
Season started shaky with a draw against Memphis, but the team took the tactics quickly and we strolled through an impressive season without a single loss. Particularly impressive was the second half of the schedule and the postseason. In our last 14 games we surrendered only a pair of goals, while scoring 34. In our 5 NCAA Tournament games we outscored our opponents 15-0. The goal now is to repeat.

We had three players who earned youth caps:




Looking ahead, when the Youth Recruiting class comes in, I'll hopefully be able to start to cutting certain players and keeping the ones who have the potential to become good players. I also have to hope none or at least only 1 or two of my guys get drafted. Vaughn is one i worry about, as well as my leading scorer Agustin Parra. He scored 6 goals in the NCAA Tournament and 19 goals across all competitions. It would have been more but I was very liberal in my rotation policy. The NCAA allows 12 subs per game and I usually used at least 10, while also rotating the entire Starting XI from one match to the next.Parra actually left when his contract expired but I offered him again and I think I can get him. Even if I can't I have a pretty good replacement on the bench named Ricardo Eder Ramirez who I signed before the season.

Loving this type of story, where did you get the logos for the schools?

The Tennessee one I made from the Tennessee Volunteers logo and an adidas soccer logo (University of Tennessee has all of their uniforms supplied by adidas). I edited them into the database myself because they don't really have a soccer team, but they're my hometown university. The rest of the logos I got from this thread, which is also where I got the database.

I have two players who are in the MLS Superdraft pool:




Thomas would be a bigger loss because I'm pretty thin at left back. In my recruiting class I did get a Brazilian right back who is left footed that I am retraining, but my only other left back is more of a center back and I like m fullbacks to get forward.

I would hate to lose Ramirez, but Parra signed back on and I have another other guys who can occupy the false 9 role.

Our Incoming Recruits for the 2014 Season:


















A lot of contributors in this class. Steve Jhutty is going to be a player, but I'm retraining him as a central midfielder. I have enough wide forwards and I don't use the MR position. George Salazar is going to push for one of the central back spots along side 2013 standout Ivan Luna. Jonathas from Brazil will start immediately at left back, even though he's a natural right back.

SO, in real life the University of Tennessee doesn't have a Men's Soccer team, but they do have a women's team. They play their games at Regal Stadium in Knoxville:





The NPSL club Knoxville Force play their home games there as well.

Interesting intake you got there. I will definitely check out that database as I think this would be fun to try.

Pre-season Notes:
My squad has gotten better since last year, but so have the other teams. I had a look around and my intake of youth players wasn’t as great as I though comparatively speaking. I still have a good team and I believe I can still make it to the NCAA Tournament and go deep.

NCAA teams in real life schedule 8-10 games or so in the spring. Our spring season went well except we did lose one game that we dominated but couldn't breakthrough. We played 6 friendlies to warm up for the season and won 5 and drew 1. Agustin Parra looks set to have a big year and he actually got a couple of caps and goals with the Mexican national team.

SEASON REVIEW

Season Achievements:
Conference USA Champions

Cup Achievements:
NONE

Season Position/Record:
8-0-0 Conference USA
10-1-0 Non-Conference Record
18-1-0 OVERALL

Board Status: Very Secure at the time of departure

Job Applications/Offers:Offered the job at Rochester Rhinos of the USL Pro and I accepted.

Once the Rochester Rhinos job came open it was an easy decision. It’s a move up and to an actual salary. The Rhinos finished second in the USL Pro Regular Season in 2014, but were eliminated in the Quarterfinal of the playoffs, and Caleb Porter was immediately sacked. Hopefully I have a longer leash than that.

2015 PRESEASON

Manager Reputation: Continental
Manager Salary: $87,000
Club Reputation: National
Club Status: Professional
League Reputation: 3/5*
Season Expectation: Win USL Pro
Manager Promise: NONE
Media Prediction: 1st
Pre-season Notes:
There is a lot of pressure to perform, as the board and media both expect me to win the league. That's going to be difficult, particularly with Orlando City in this league, and a one-off playoff deciding the champion.

I did upgrade the squad, bringing in MLS castoff Zac MacMath (GK), Swedish defender Markus Holgersson (DRC), and Brazilian attacking midfielder Guilherme (AMLC) on free transfers. I also loaned in a few players from MLS clubs for depth.

whats id quevas kirk ????

I think the better question is, why did you bump a thread from 2013?
