It has been over 2 years since I joined this league on a whim during the beginnings of a tough 2020, and there have been plenty of great league moments that have come from being a part of that legendary S22 class. The one thing that absolutely stands out though compared to everything else is the back-to-back championships for the San Jose Sabercats. I spent my entire first career with McDairmid as a Sabercat, a team with which I would be a GM and become friends with many people I associate very closely with still. Looking back, the team was never overwhelmingly good in any aspects when it came to raw earning power and player stats. But it never really mattered, as every time we came against a ‘stronger’ opponent we would put up a fight stronger than the sum of our parts and pull out a normally scrappy win. The fact I managed to scoop an Ultimus award during this period - becoming only the 2nd Kicker/Punter to ever win Offensive Player of the Game in an Ultimus - made things even sweeter of course, but the story of the back-to-back Sabercats is one that will forever live in the memories of anyone who was around at that time.
