Gather around everyone so I can tell you the story about the greatest tackler ever to play in the ISFL: Quenton Bode. How did Bode get to become so great that he broke the tackling record this regular season? Well, it was quite a spectacular ride to see a polar bear excel enough at football to break the all time tackles record of 1275 tackles. So sit back and let me recount the rich and fascinating history of Quenton Bode.
Coming out of the University of Nebraska, Quenton Bode was a hot prospect for the upcoming DSFL draft. Bode was able to put together a string of strong games as a member of the Grizzlies in the Prospect Bowl in front of the DSFL scouts, and even impressed front offices with his media answers during the Prospect Bowl. With a lot of talent in the Season 14 DSFL draft, the San Antonio Marshals grabbed an absolute steal of a draft pick in Quenton Bode with their third round selection of the talented polar bear. It was safe to say that the people of San Antonio were a bit shocked to see a polar bear roaming their streets at first. But quickly the Marshals fans knew Bode was the real deal on the football field. After a marvelous first season in the DSFL that included an interception touchdown for the rookie linebacker, Quenton Bode saw his draft stock soaring. Many of the draft pundits pegged Bode to go very early in the draft, and they were not disappointed when they saw the New Orleans Second Line draft Quenton Bode with the second overall pick of the Season 15 ISFL draft.
The New Orleans Second Line fans quickly warmed up to the young polar bear just as the San Antonio faithful had in the DSFL. Bode went on a whirlwind media tour that capped off with him joining the big club in the ISFL (then named the NSFL) right away next season. Quenton Bode immediately announced his presence to the league in his rookie season, amassing 108 total tackles in his first year. It should have been obvious then that there was something special about Bode. In addition, Bode added 3 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and an interception showing that he was not just a one trick pony. This polar bear was going to be something special, which was important to the New Orleans Second Line as a franchise. They were in a streak of lean years, and they were only able to finish the season with two wins in Bode's rookie season.
In his sophomore season, Bode and the Second Line saw their win total rise to six. Bode began playing with his fellow draftee this season: Johnny Slothface who was taken by the Second Line at the third overall pick. The pair formed a fearsome duo that season, and Bode was able to reach 108 tackles exactly for the second season in a row. Bode was a huge reason for New Orleans' jump in their win total and the future was looking bright for the team and Bode. The following season saw Quenton really shine as he led the entire NSFL with 125 tackles. In only his third season in the league, Bode was already at the top of his craft and only getting better.
In season 19, the Second Line as a team were able to obtain a winning record at 8-5, a true sign that Bode had impacted the franchise with his strong play. Bode sacrificed some of his tackling stats that season but still reached 96 on the season. His 2 forced fumbles, 5 sacks, 1 tackle for loss, 2 interceptions, and 7 pass defences show that he was doing much more when he wasn't tackling ball carriers all over the field. This success would all come together in season 21 when the New Orleans Second Line won the Ultimus. Bode was the leading tackler for the Second Line with 9 stops in the championship game. Now Quenton finally had a ring on his polar bear paw to back up all of his personal glory.
All of this brings us to this season, specifically to week 11 when the Second Line were at home against the Auston Copperheads. Bode came into the game needing two tackles to tie the all time career tackling record, and three to break it. Everyone before the game could feel the record in the air and it was tense in the crowd. Bode did not disappoint and put on a vintage performance to break the record, amassing 10 total tackles and a sack to help propel New Orleans to a 34-20 victory. The crowd went insane at home, and as the team celebrated the great achievement everyone knew that Bode had cemented his place in the record books when he quickly tackled Zoe Watts after a reception. Bode should now have 1332 career tackles, smashing the previous record of 1275 after his insane 153 tackles on the season. Now each week he plays he will only further his legacy, and he will be remembered among the greats that played in the ISFL.
