Written option: Your team just experienced a heart-wrenching OT loss to [insert your team's biggest rival in the league]. First off what team would you consider as your team's biggest rival? What's the locker room looking like after that loss? Which player steps up to motivate the rest of the team? How does your player react?
Rivalries are kinda interesting in the ISFL. I never really care for it myself, but it seems that some of the rivalries just come straight out of people being petty against each other. Some might come from certain teams being heavily dominant in a division. Like it feels everyone hated OCO before their current non dominate stretch. Just because the Otters were always a good team and could compete for a cup.
With the Honolulu Hahalua, we are a relatively new team and without a big playoff presence so far. So we haven't really played a lot of high stakes games. I think our only playoff games comes against the New Orleans Second Line, yet it was one game and I do not think there is even any bad blood between the two of us. When we were established the other team also had a fish brand. We jokingly refered to it as the fish bowl, but there is also no big rivalry in that match up either. Also it doesn't help we only play each other like once every 10 years or so. Besides that there really aren't any teams we dislike. No teams that make us go 'oooooh we gotta win this match, beat their asses'. And I am oke with that. If we get a rival through having played them multiple times in a row in the playoffs, that would be cool. As long as we dont get a rivalry through sheer pettiness.
