In its first year in existence, the Fried Egg Sandwiches have 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. Earning a first round bye, 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 owns a 13-3 record and has scored 1283 points, both tops last year in the league. |

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.
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.
