Man, I gotta tell you about this whole Memphis football depth chart thing. It all started when I wanted to really get into the upcoming season. You know, not just watch the games, but understand the team inside and out.
So, first thing I did was hit up the usual spots online, trying to find a solid depth chart. I was looking everywhere, but it was all bits and pieces, nothing really complete. Some had old player information. It was a mess, and I just wanted something I could rely on.
Then, I figured, why not just make my own? I mean, I’m following all these sports news sites and blogs anyway, might as well put that to good use. I started pulling info from everywhere. Like, there’s this local Memphis news channel, *, they’re pretty good for updates. Then, you got your bigger sites like Bleacher Report and some others, where you can kind of piece together what’s going on.
I started a simple spreadsheet. Nothing fancy, just columns for positions, names, class, and some notes. Every time I saw a new article, an interview, or even just some expert’s opinion, I’d update my chart. For example, I read one article about the new recruits on the team and added them with a note that said “High potential, watch out.”
- Started with a basic spreadsheet.
- Gathered info from local and national sports news.
- Updated it constantly with any new tidbit I found.
It wasn’t easy, though. Sometimes, one source would say one thing, and another would say something completely different. Like, there was this one time where one site said a player was a starter, but another had him as a backup. I had to dig deeper, watch some game highlights, and even check out player interviews to figure out who was right.
I also kept an eye on any news about injuries or suspensions. Those things can totally change a depth chart overnight. I remember this one player got injured during pre-season, and bam, the whole lineup shifted. Had to update my chart like crazy that day.
Building My Own Chart
After a while, my little spreadsheet started looking pretty legit. I had colors for different positions, notes on player strengths and weaknesses, and even predictions for who might step up during the season. It became like my own little sports project.
The best part was when the season started. I felt so much more connected to the team because I knew exactly who was who and what their story was. Every game, I’d have my depth chart open, seeing how my predictions matched up with reality. It was awesome.
So, yeah, that’s my story about creating a Memphis football depth chart. It was way more work than I expected, but totally worth it. Now, I’m like the go-to guy among my friends for team info. Feels good, man, feels good.
