Team History:

1997
In its first year in existence, the Fried Egg Sandwiches made their mark in the Higher Education League of Fantasy Football. During the inaugural season of both the team and league, the Fried Egg Sandwiches finished the regular season with a record of 11-3, good enough to win the Cordelia Division. Having the second best record allowed the team to earn a first round bye, after which the team prevailed in its two playoff contests to win the first Fantasy Bowl (and a nice check).

The Sandwiches' 11-3 record in the regular season ranked second only to the Vinland Norsemen; the 1123 points scored in the regular season was best in the league. Counting the playoffs, the team owned a 13-3 record and had scored 1283 points, both tops last year in the league.

1998
The Fried Egg Sandwiches completed another successful season in 1998. With six players plus a defense returning from the 1997 title team, expectations ran high. However, injuries and benchings led to a revamping of the team by midseason. Despite the difficulties, the team sported a regular season record of 9-5, which tied for second overall in the league, winning the Cordelia Division in the final week of the season. The team once again won two playoff contests; however this time, a championship was not in store; the team lost in the finals to the Methane Explosion.

The Sandwiches' 9-5 record was behind only Sugar and Spice, and tied the Rikka Racka Fiyacrakas, the Methane Explosion, and Tigger's Team for the second best record in the league. The 1143 points scored set a new team record, and was third in the league behind the Methane Explosion and the Rikka Racka Fiyacrakas.

In its two year existence, the Fried Egg Sandwiches have won 20 regular season games (best in the league) and four playoff contests (second best). They are the only two-time division winner in league history. Counting the playoffs, the team has a record of 24-9 (.727 winning percentage) and has scored 2653 points.

1999

Turmoil rocked the Fried Egg Sandwiches during the offseason, for the first time in their existence. First the team relocated from Bozeman, Montana to Flagstaff,
Arizona. The move, dictated by the owner solely for the purposes of his earning more money, led to a riot among team members. Barry Sanders, the all-time
leading scorer and MVP of the Fried Egg Sandwiches' inaugural season, retired. Garrison Hearst, the Fried Egg Sandwiches second all time leading scorer (and second season MVP), suffered a severe ankle injury and missed the entire season. Joey Galloway (Eggs 3rd all time leading scorer) and Rob Moore both held out for more money. Moore eventually signed; but was hurt in his second game back, and was largely ineffective. Of the top players, only WR Keyshawn Johnson and QB Peyton Manning returned. Losing 3 of their 4 best players and top three scorers all time proved to be too much for the Eggs, as they posted a league-worst 2-12 record. Giving up an average of almost 80 points a game didn't help either. While some players shined - The aforementioned duo, plus newcomer Marcus Robinson - the lack of a consistent running game (heck, any running game) proved to be the undoing of the Eggs.

2000
With their second year in Flagstaff, the Fried Egg Sandwiches hoped to return some stability to the franchise after last year's dismal season. Anchored by franchise quarterback Peyton Manning and star wide receiver Marcus Robinson, the offense was hoping to return to the high scoring ways of the team's first two seasons. First round pick Duce Staley was believed to be the solution to the dismal running game, and for the first month that proved correct. Staley helped get the Eggs out to a 4-0 record. However, in that fourth game, he broke his foot and was lost for the season. Struggling without a consistent running game (due largely to Terrell Davis), the Eggs limped to a 7-7 overall record and lucked into the last seed of the playoffs. After being witness to a record setting performance in the first round - unfortunately, the record was set by the opposing team - the Fried Egg Sandwiches regained some pride by beating Tigger's Team in the 5th place game.
