Dynasty Update: Title Game, Bowling, and Awards

The Eastern Michigan Eagles held on for a close win over rival Central Michigan, earning a spot in the MAC Title game. Though they were over-matched by the soaring Temple Owls, coach Ace Journeyman was proud of his team. Journeyman was honored with the Coach of the Year Award for the turn around he's sparked in Ypsilanti. The Eagles have a slight chance at 10 wins if they play well in the GMAC Bowl against heavily favored Syracuse. Rumors are already circulating that several mid-major schools, as well as a couple of BCS programs, are interested in luring Journeyman away from Eastern. Right now, though, Ace is trying to quiet all the talk and focus on getting prepared for the biggest game for EMU in almost 25 years.

    ... BEFORE THE JACUZZI.

    I'm interested to see how Ace handles the dark side of success. Namely, when EMU starts moving up the charts in the Fulmer Cup standings.

    It is a huge testament to your writing style that I really look forward to these updates. Well done!
