Shoutout Teambuildermilla for the logo pack 🫡

I was asked to make a grateful Dead team and given direction with his ideas and inspiration but was given reign to make it with my own twist! My usual style is off the wall animals only so I loved the challenge!

Here's what I came up with!

From the rugged hoodoos, painted canyons, and endless horizons of the Badlands rises college football’s newest program:

THE UNIVERSITY OF BADLANDS BURROS.

Built on grit. Forged by the frontier. Tough enough to thrive where others wouldn’t dare.

This isn’t just another expansion team.

It’s dust trails at sunset. Wind over stone. Blue-collar football with a stubborn streak and something to prove.

The Burros are here.

New colors. New rivalries. New traditions.

And one very bad-tempered mascot ready to carry the flag into Saturdays.

Welcome to the Badlands.

The University of Channel Islands is officially making the jump to the FBS level. 🌊🏈

From the cliffs, coves, and windswept shores of the Channel Islands comes college football’s newest program.

Built Coastal. Built Different. Built Better.

Representing California’s island frontier with a brand rooted in the endemic Island Spotted Skunk, the Skunkies bring a new identity to the national stage — gritty, unique, unapologetically West Coast.

New rivals.
New traditions.
Same island attitude.

The UCI Skunkies have arrived.

Alternate universe pro football league build. Trying to not use any cities currently used/ named by NFL teams, while also keeping only cities that make sense or could realistically market a pro football team - with a preference toward US cities first.

League is divided into East & West vice NFC/AFC.
Some of the team names have changed since I made the chart (Dublin is the Gaels & Va Beach is the Sharks)

All team rosters will be “Balanced” roster with idea that NFL players are kept & re-drafted in a simulated (or user controlled) fantasy draft.

I have only built 3 teams so far. I want the overall aesthetic of the designs for each team to be 90s era NBA + other 90s era unique designs. Each team will have 3x regular interchangeable uniform options + 1x Feauxback/Throwback + 1 Nike Pro Heritage Series (mock of the Rivalries/city connect/etc).

Let me know what you think.

new series i may be starting over on my tiktok!

would love to hear what others think!

RECRUITING PHILOSOPHY:
• Focus pipelines in Texas

This isn’t a superteam rebuild.
This is Texas small-college football culture built from the ground up.

The 2031 season had really high hopes but crashed to the ground losing in the first round of the playoffs.

The 2032 season kicks off with our opening recruiting report. Remember this is suicide recruiting so I add 35 guys to the board and that is it. I will only add more if we lose underclassmen to the draft ( yet to happen) or they transfer on a 1 to 1 basis.

So without any further nonsense off we go. From my initial 35 selections we lost 3 between week 0 and week 1.

When you do suicide recruiting you tend to have to be conservative...at the same time it is hard to make the team better if you never take a chance.

This season we are now frequently recruiting against bigger schools so recruits get 3+ offers from places that do not have a history of failure and serial killers wiping out the school population. Somehow Penn state overcame that whole mess but were still dealing with the after affects.

Ok here we go

QB - I need to get 2 even though we have a solid top of the room. Last years starter is now playing backup and the this year's has yet to finish a game because he is made of glass. Still were going after 2 different 4 star prospects. We are currently 2nd and 3rd. Clemson seems like a good bet to beat me for the lower ranked one and OU and TCU are going to beat me for the second unless a single tornado takes both schools out.

RB/FB I need 2 but going after 3. One of them is a 5 star and the 5th overall recruit in his class. I am 4th on his list but the schools in front of me aren't traditional powers so I hope we can make a move. Were on the verge of being locked out by the next best guy unless we take a major jump. The 3rd best guy is a lost cause. I think I bit off more than I can chew here. We aren't recruiting a FB this year.

WR- I need 2, going for 3. So play style wise we suck balls. I just don't throw consistently enough for big yards to attract top recruits...or so you would think. I went all in on Route Artist Jamarcus Lawler. He is a 5 star and for some reason loves the shit out of the idea of playing for us. Seems like we are a lock to get him. The other 2 guys are big ass contested specialist and we have a decent shot at both. This would really help us not suck.

TE- Need 2. We have the inside track but just barely on a 4 star Pure Blocker but its razor close. We are 2nd on a 4 star Clemson wants. I don't see us winning this battle.

OT -I need 5. 2 offensive tackles and both kids are interested. The best of them is a 5 star. 9th recruit in the country and we aee first. Michigan state is second but to hell with Sparty. He can eat my butthole. The second guy is ours at this point. Nobody else recruiting him.

OG - Things are not so good hear. We need 2 and aren't going to get any. We aren't even close. Maybe I can drum up scandals at Ohio state, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Tennessee and most of the Big 12... the whole conference got crabs from hookers.

Defense

Edge- We need 2 but Edge is probably our strongest position group in recruiting so I am going after 4...mainly because it is hard to say no when they just throw it at you. In that sense it must be how rock stars feel. Sure you wife is a smokeshow but when groupies just offer it everywhere you go how can you hold out? I mean even Dave Grohl couldn't say no forever.

DT- Need 1. Gonna get 2 for sure and 1 looks like he is constantly mad at quarterbacks. He is the 15th overall recruit and asked for 4 million up front in NIL. I explained to him we ain't that kinda program but we gotta solid hook up at Squirters Juice bar...who doesn't love a good squirter? He seems convinced. The backup plan is a guy with a square head. Perfect Nose tackle. He might not even need to wear a helmet.

OLB - 4 needed and we have a really good chance to 2 for sure. The 3rd is going to be a fight like the 3rd Possum getting on the arc and it is raining already.

Mike - I have a really great one...but they say get 1 more for the future. I am going after 2 and sitting first in both but shits moving fast like I ate too many atomic hot chicken wings.

CB - I need 1, going after 3. The 2 best told me to go kick rocks. The 3rd is a barely 3 star who seems surprised I offered him and we are definitely going to get him. So at least there will be some depth.

FS- Didn't need any...should have gotten 1 because....

SS - Need 2...went after 3...those 3 all told me to go elsewhere so we won't get any unless I get a shot in the Portal later.

That's it...I will update again down the road this season.

I just wish we were able to do helmets for each position just like Western Kentucky I feel like a lot of the teams are very awesome and creative and if they added that imagine how cool some team builds would look

Another 757 powerhouse in Lake Taylor. Got pretty close for the actual uniforms for basic home and away. Plus a “The Lake” concept as alternates.

My oldest oringal team, based in my hometown of Rockford, IL. Comes with five unifroms(3 Base Sets and Two Special Alternates). #BeTheSymbol.

Huge shoutout to @/Johnnie_Casino for the custom mini helmet. Definetly reach out to them if you are interested in one of your own.

Intended for the MAC, Cupcake Roster(with Oringal Names and Numbers), Cupcake Prestige.

Where to begin, it is always the question when telling a story of this magnitude.  So I guess I will start at the hardest part to tell, the part about regret. 

After I finished Go Fight Win I wanted to make the Revere Riders, the fictional setting for Go Fight Win and the story of Liam Taylor and the beleaguered College football team he coached. When Liam's story ended the team was in complete ruin. To put it bluntly no other team had ever endured what he put them through. 

I thought to myself, building that team would make a hell of a sequel of sorts. Same setting, same team, new story. 

First came the head coach. Sean Mulligan. A struggling division 3 coach from Revere, a graduate of Boston College just trying to make ends meat. Once I came up with him and had Sammy Dakota build the team it was time to play. I intended to write an entirely new story, but writing is hard, telling a story to an audience that doesn't care doesn't help either. I mean Alan, the guy who normally reads them and we talk barely cared at all, busy with his own life. 

So I stopped writing..I regret that now because this story is one for the ages, it is in my head only right now. So without the writing I just played…let me tell you something. It is fun. I am playing with suicide recruiting, so once my board is filled at the beginning of the season that is it. I can only replace underclassmen who transfer on a 1 to 1 basis in the portal as well. Building this team, a team I had made as the worst of the worst has not been easy. Campus lifestyle F, Academics F, Pro Potential F…F…F…F…not a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out. 

So I played. The first season behind Keyonte Tyson we went 6-6 and won a bowl game…a flicker of hope. Keyonte left for greener pastures as did most of the good players on a bad team. The next season we went 9-3 against a very weak schedule, lost a bowl game we never should have been in. The psycho computer matched my 63 OVR ass against Tennesee who had a down year…I think they put up 50 that game. 

The Next season we went 9-4 and won a bowl game to finish with 10 wins…still no playoffs. The schedule had a small bump as the team cleared the 70 OVR range but a foundation was built…a couple of Senior transfers helped bridge the gap..

In season 3 as a 74 OVR I felt like we could possibly compete, maybe sneak into the playoffs as a 12 seed…If only I could win a few big games. I bumped the schedule up once more..a couple ranked teams. A trip to Blacksburg for Enter Sandman, a home game against #24 Cal. If we could just win a few of these. I got the team to 9-1 with the only loss to Va-Tech by a missed 2 point conversion in double OT…a real heartbreaker but we were close…then it fell apart. Finished the regular season 10-2..a trip to the Conny…win and were in…we didn’t win, upset on our own field by UTSA. Late in the 4th they drove the length of the field and I just couldn't stop them. They scored with a few seconds on the clock to win…I was crushed…real life..bummed the fuck out. I barely had it in me to play the bowl game…we lost..finished 10-4

Season 4.  76 Overall, a disgruntled QB wanting to transfer, a workhorse back who finally became the starter..a talented but small WR and a classic big body TE named Lee. The defense which has long been my calling card was finally the ticket to the playoffs. In my head this was it…The schedule was tough but not brutal. 3 ranked teams, 1 of them on my home field and if USF and Boston College can help with Strength of schedule I think we got it. Through an up and down season I got the team to As the season went on it felt like maybe we could make it. Started 4-2 after dropping the 2 away ranked games. Well…2 losses we can get in right…just gotta run the table. I go 5-1 losing to USF who is ranked 15th.With 3 losses it doesn’t look good. But maybe there is hope. We are still going to the Conny..a rematch with USF. They are slotted as the 12 seed. There are a few other teams all in the same boat and a 3 loss team is going to get in. I win…totally crush them on their own field…and we wait. I even get a little help from the computer but we are left out ranked #19. We go to a bowl…win and finish 10-4. 

Now we get to the fun part…the fun part is named Cortez “Mutha Fuckin” Temple and he is a damned menace. A RS Junior FS Transfer…82 Overall. Not even good enough to start at FS for me on the depth chart. We start the season at home for #16 Duke..I control the entire game. RS Freshman QB looks poised beyond his years, 2 headed RB system including a freshman dude named ROH who is a North South Receiver RB and his counterpart an elusive Bruiser. Most of the team returned and we are a 79 OVR. Still in the 4th Duke mounts a furious comeback…they win..it's happening again. For whatever reason I just can't seem to finish these teams off. Now in my head it's happening. The lore..Go Fight Win, Liam Taylor…maybe the team is cursed. Maybe it is just not meant to be. Cortez Temple makes a few crazy plays in the losing effort, enough that I notice him..where the fuck did he even come from?

0-1..ok… What started slow built…game after game…week after week. Even with injuries the depth I had built started to show. 2 mean defensive tackles, quick LB's and some corners who seemed to make plays we didn't make the years before. I got a lockdown corner named Locke! It's a sign..and Cortez Temple…this fuckin kid is a Tornado. Ed Reed, just shows up on plays all over the field..2-1, 3-1, 7-1…pulling wins out of my ass including a 17 point 4th quarter comeback against UTSA. We finish the regular season 11-1. Cortez Temple is the DPOY.. 5 sacks, 98 tackles, 5 interceptions, 1 forced fumble, a safety and play after clutch play. 

Were going to the Conny and UTSA is coming to Revere. Once again I control the game…its 24 to 7…but here comes UTSA. They score to make it 24-14…then I turn it over and they score again…24-21. Late in the 4th, dejavu…they have the ball and time. They start driving…no huddle…full speed…right…down…the field. They get to the 17 with 21 seconds to go…1 pass to the 9…17 seconds. I can feel it in my bones…they are going to fuck me again…the QB drops back..throws the slant…..CORTEZ FUCKIN TEMPLE JUMPS the route 2 yards deep in the end zone…and he is GONE.. 82 OVR DPOY…showing what the fuck he is about. He just jumped into Revere Riders lore…102 Yards to the house. I stand up…in my house…and I fucking cheer…like a damned little kid…happy like I just did something…cool…I got a smile ear to ear…were going to the playoffs! I can hear famous calls from sports announcers in my head. The curse…the lore…the stories…all of it…right now it is as real as shit gets and I am such a fucking nerd. 

The first game is at Iowa…the crowd is nuts. Iowa is an 86 Overall. Were the 10 seed…they are 7. I figure were playing with the house money now…Cinderella is going to the dance baby!.

All game long it is close..I trail 6-7 at the half. I score to make it 13-7..they score to make it 14-13..I get a TD and miss the 2 point conversion 19-14 . They are driving…its early 4th and I think this is it…I have been just holding on all game. Then…like a bolt of fuckin lighting…Cortez Temple shows up like Thor at the battle of Wakanda…a strip sack..3 plays later we punch it in…the tidal wave is started and we run off 2 more TDS to win 33-14. 

Next game the Sugar Bowl against #2 seed Oklahoma. At this point my nerd levels are sky high, it feels great just to be on this run, the payoff feels in reach and I start to think back to writing Go Fight win in the first place. The lore built up in my head around the program is just as big as the game. I think of the struggle to finish that story, wanting to start this one…but most of all I think of Andy Watts, the super fan..obsessed with the team. As I cruise to a pretty straightforward 20-7 victory I sit there.. “What would Andy Watts think of all this.” 

I mean what a wild, super nerd level thought. But that is it, that's the fun in all this. The story, building the team, a roster with these ups and downs. Some really rough losses, some awesome wins and now this…Cortez Temple.

In the heart of oil country, the West Texas Falcons were built the same way the region built its fortune — bold, aggressive, and unafraid to take risks. NIL dollars flowed, elite talent followed, and suddenly a brand‑new program became a national problem. First‑year head coach Courtland Wade has molded that talent into a ruthless, blue‑collar powerhouse that hits like a veteran squad and carries itself like a dynasty in the making.
