Re: Welcome to Collegiate Football in Torland (1992)

Thanks to some great feedback from Scratch, I've tweaked the template a bit for better flow and also added some sections with a bit more detail on the school write-ups for more a bit more flavor and clarity. C&C is always appreciated!

About the School
The University of Bevin is an historic school in Torland, not only for its physical location in the heartland of the Galapetra prairie but its place as a linchpin for independence from colonial rule. Founded in 1849 in conjunction with Fort Bevin, the university has been a senior military school since its inception. The Bevin Cadets are legendary for their training and service records. Bevin isn't particularly known for its thriving student life but their academic reputation is stellar with high marks across a wide variety of programs and has one of the highest after-school job placement rates in the nation.

About the Team
The Patriots wear the colors of the Torland national flag of navy, red, yellow, and white. Traditionally the Pats have worn navy primary jerseys with a white helmet. The home jersey has white sleeve caps and Bevy's iconic striping is heavily featured on the helmet, sleeves, pants, and socks. The Pats also still have grey facemasks, unchanged for decades. A serifed interlocked “UB” monogram with three stars adorns the helmet. Athletes who are also military cadets wear a single star on the front of their jersey. The football program has seen plenty of success at the conference level which hasn't always translated into bowl or championship success but Bevin has a strong recruiting pipeline and remains annually competitive as evidenced by a handful of Legge Trophy winners. The Pats play at the massive Craigmile Stadium in Fort Bevin, Galapetra. “The Craig” is decidedly spartan and doesn't feature many modern amenities but is considered an icon of the Torland Heartland, regularly selling out their 93,000 seat capacity.

Rivalry Highlights
The Pats have major rivalries with Abrieden, Howerton State, Tamokeva State, and Trowburgh. Their in-state rivalry with Howerton State, a fellow senior military school, has produced some of the fiercest football in UTAC, regardless of season record or conference affiliation. Dubbed the “Petra Bowl,” these two schools are the stand-ins for state representation since Galapetra declined any state charters in the early 1900s and they both take it very seriously. Their rivalry trophy, known simply as “The Rock” is a huge slab of raw granite prominently displayed on a wagon during every rivalry game and as soon as the clock hits zeroes the winning team will run to hitch the wagon to their team bus. Their rivalry with Abrieden, first played in 1911, is colloquially known as The ABC, an acronym of Abrieden-Bevin Clash, which led to a trophy called the Alphabet Cup being created between the two teams. The reigning winner is allowed to keep the towering trophy in their athletic facility for the year. The ABC has transcended conference play, as Abrieden and Bevin both played in separate conferences until 1946 when they both joined the Mountain Coast.

C&C appreciated! Let me know what y'all think so far. Anything I should change/add?
