14. Expansion Expansion Expansion! Tell us why you think the league should expand / not expand or include any ideas (in words) for team branding ideas you have or team locations.
My hunch (without a ton of additional information leading to this conclusion) is that expansion is not needed at the current time. I know that recruitment numbers in the SHL have slowed down pretty significantly, probably due to a combination of less overall free time in the population and having extensively milked (hehe) the typical recruiting forums (i.e., reddit) - each recruiting class is certainly smaller than the average recruiting class from, say, two years ago - so my guess is that the same is happening here. If, as i expect, recruiting numbers aren't super high right now, there's probably no need to add teams and thin out the talent further. circular argument here, but the fact we haven't expanded in a while tells me it's probably not needed and the numbers are just fine as is. That said, expansion is really fun and bringing new teams into the fold is pretty exciting. I love that we're getting a rebranding this season - I did like the philly liberty branding and it'll take me a while to get used to the new one (and it'll take the site a while to get used to the new one, as I can still see the liberty button in the side panel to the left and the new logo is nowhere to be found ) but having new teams and logos in the mix always keeps shit fresh. In the spirit of freshness, I'll propose an idea for an expansion team just for fun. Being from the US I feel my attempt at an international brand would come up short so I'll pitch an american idea in, of course, the great city of atlanta! I'm not from atlanta nor have i ever been there, but having started the Atlanta Inferno as an expansion franchise in SHL I have a strong personal attachment to the cities and its real or fake teams. Lets call this ISFL expansion team the Atlanta Outferno - i'll sign up to play there in no time.

17. Going to Disney World! Who was the Ultimus or Ultimini Game MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disney World.
Well I was in the ultimus as a member of the ultimus winning Arizona Outlaws but I don't reckon I deserver to be the game MVP, in fact I'm certain I don't. The most deserving MVP of the game would have to be WR Kotoni Skaggs. QB Wendell Sailor had a great game and solid statline but most of that production went to Skaggs, whose 8 catches yielded 187 yards and 2 touchdowns in a rocketship performance. That's over half of Arizona's total passing yards and the only 2 Outlaws touchdowns of the game, so this is a pretty clear answer here. Skaggs had a blast at Disney World and ate a shitload of cotton candy. When asked what they were excited for in the Disney celebration, Skaggs replied "I love cotton candy I'm gonna eat a shitload of that stuff and I'm a pro athlete who just won MVP in the Ultimus so I'm allowed to do it - kids you can't eat a shitload of cotton candy if your parents don't let you until you reach this pinnacle achievement some day and then you can do it yourself."
