12. I'm going to try and take a stab at a rivalry for the Colorado Yeti. Geographically they are near no one in their conference. The closest team since S1 has been the Arizona Outlaws (they are in the opposite conference). While in earlier seasons they played all the time, with a much expanded league, the Yeti and Outlaws didn't even play last season. Tough to keep a rivalry going if you don't play every year. But location wise and a little history wise I would pick Arizona as on of the Yeti's rivals based on the S1 Ultimus Bowl. In this history, Colorado fans have to wonder if their team would be the most successful ISFL team today if they had won that first Ultimus back in Season 1, instead of Arizona. Its a really one sided rivalry though with Arizona's success and the Yeti's, well, not success. But in terms of teams that the Yeti have to play all the time, it's between Yellowknife and Baltimore. While its absurd. Baltimore is closer to Denver than Yellowknife. And not only that, thanks to the USA Highway system. There's literally a ROAD CONNECTING THEM. Therefore we have the 1-70 Showdown born. Really this rivalry can be traced back to S2 when the Hawks made it over the Yeti on point differential. Adding salt to that wound, Colorado smashed them in the last game that season 43-10 and a whooping like that still wasn't enough for Colorado to top them. Then Colorado seemingly feel into a coma for a few seasons. The rivalry probably reaches its peak in S9-S11 where these two teams met 3 seasons in a row with Baltimore taking all 3 wins for trips to the Ultimus. That sort of stuff will leave a mark on any fanbase. Colorado would eventually go on to have success of there own eventually. Since then, the two teams have only met in back to back to back playoffs games from season 18- season 20, but since then the teams seem to be on opposite rebuild cycles as one team is usually good, when the other in bad. This past season we almost had a BAL/COL playoff game, but unfortunately CTC had to ruin that. Maybe next year!
27. I would have picked QB. No other position really speaks to me honestly. In high school I played safety and wide receiver, while in real life I never would have made it as a QB anywhere. But I just want to play a full ISFL career as QB. I want the attention and the criticism and the glory. I want to be the leader in the LR and just seeing dope passing stats. Problem is that I'm pretty casual when it comes to sim leagues. I don't really max earn. I skip a few things here and there. I don't like copy/pasting predictions, I like to do them on my own (with or without research). So I would probably make a really bad QB. Maybe someday I'll make a ton of money and can afford seasonal training every season. But being a QB for a career would be a blast. I had a ton of fun with it for two seasons in BBB.
