Pengu doesn't have rivals because he doesn't really think about other teams. Pengu only thinks about two things. Tasty fish and and how to get more tasty fish, As such he thinks of the league as teams who have tasty fishes and those who do not. Those without tasty fish are the ones Pengu likes the least. The top one that comes to mind is Arizona. Arizona is in the middle of the desert and you know what the desert doesn't have much of? Water. If it doesn't have water, it can't have fish. Therefore every time the Yeti have to make a visit out the the Outlaws, Pengu finds himself pathetically hungry because there is no where to swim or to eat for a penguin. The other team that comes to mind is at least in the same conference though and that is the Yellowknife Wraiths. They hail from the frozen north and are landlocked entirely. Canada as a whole doesn't have much inland water, but luckily for Yellowknife they are situated on arguably the largest body of water in Canada. You would think this would provide plenty of tasty treats for Adelie, but unfortunately the lake they're situated on is known as the Great Slave Lake and that makes Adelie think some bad things happened here once and so refuses to go fishing in it. That is why Adelie sees these two as rivals!

Yell at me ASAP if Championship Week doesn't count since it started yesterday (Sunday) @siddhus
The night of my greatest defeat so far came from the luchadores who we are just trailing right now for first in the divison and if that game went diffrently tables could be turned right now but this is reality and that was the greatest loss i have had to date. Even though Tony played unbelieable good with 8 receptions, 135 yards and 1 touchdown. Bondi Beach still came up short. behind 40-23 too the luchadores and with those great accpolishments by Tony Demonson the wild crowd of Bondi Beach was still booing the team and Tony felt lost this was his best game to date and the crowd hates us... he took this mentallity back with him over the next few games and hasnt been nearly half the player he was before this faithless night. This bitter restement has proven tony needs too get his emtions and mentiallty in check if he wants too make it far with football he cant let the wraith of his own fans being upset over a loss eat away at him too the point he wont make it too be drafted were sure this kid is still young and got a pelenty of talent too prove too all of us.

Our biggest rival is probably pretty debatable. I'm sure there is a lot of history that I just do not know when it comes to Tijuana. However, in my time here, I'm going to say our biggest rival is the Ultimini.
Well, that's obviously not the most accurate choice but ultimately we have gone back-to-back seasons making it to the dance, and both times we got creamed. It is legitimately a curse at this point, I think. If I have to give a real, single team answer, to me it's the Dallas Birddogs. In my experience with the league, Tijuana has been fighting with them for the top of the division for the most part. Tijuana has faced Dallas in the playoffs in two of the last three seasons, and may be on pace for a third run here this season as Dallas and Bondi Beach are only a game back of Tijuana on the top spot. The good thing about talking about heart-breaking losses is -- well, I've experienced that. The Ultimini loss was clearly a perfect preview for this to show how things would manifest in the Tijuana locker room as really there weren't many major blow ups or anything. It was sad, of course, it would always be down. But it was hopeful, and focused us forward instead. Even those who would not be with us any longer were praised and wished the best. Now, a lot of our older players have left at this point and so the one to step up would probably need to be me. Or I guess Gronku Muerto could. However, I think this is my place to shine now. I'm in what is likely to be my last season in the DSFL, and I have to step it up and guide the team forward and show that a tough loss isn't the end of the world. We can get over it, get past it, and we have. This is just another chapter in our journey, but the Ultimini is coming home sooner than later and we need to focus on being prepared for that and not moping about something we can no longer control.
There are several teams that one might consider having a strong rivalry with the Yellowknife Wraiths. I suppose some league vets might consider us to have one with the Orange County Otters, on account of our string of Ultimus losses to them, but that was quite a while ago. However, I would consider the Colorado Yeti to be our biggest rival. We always seem to be in competition with them for a playoff spot, so games against them are usually a big deal. There was also the time they tied the Honolulu Hahalua, which knocked us out of the playoffs. There is usually a lot of trash talking of the Yeti before and after games with them, whether we win or lose, but there would definitely be a lot of anger and frustration after a close OT loss to them. Probably some comments about ‘Stinky Moose,’ and ‘Yeti aren’t real’ and things of that nature. Possibly also some ‘f**k the Yeti’ comments. One player who always steps up to get the team out of the pity party is GM and defensive tackle Pmoney, who reminds us that we still have a game next week and to snap out of it. Lots of tough love there! Zee is always just ready to move on to the next week, no point on dwelling on the past.
