19. With the Colorado Yeti having an unprecedented 0-16 season, it comes as a surprise that they would be building a new stadium for the upcoming season. This could be to boost morale or even get more fans to attend the games in favor of the Yeti. Either way, I would like to see a few additions made that I think would improve fan and player experience alike. A state of the art weight room and practice facility is required, Willeh Strong has to live up to his name and with newer equipment, he will only get stronger. With this, I would like to see a personal bench press and cold bath designated only for Strong on his more than often heavy workout days. In terms of the fans, I believe they would like comfier seats and cheaper drinks so they have more to look forward to even if a game isn't going their way. However, away fans must be seated in the original hard plastic seats (I want them to suffer). With these minor additions, I think the Yeti's future would look brighter, even in Colorado.
20. There are many interesting players on the Colorado Yeti but I think only one solely comes to mind for the ultimate team player. COL QB Preston Beatz announced his retirement yet still chose to stick it out and help the Yeti for one more season as a QB was desperately needed. Even through the regression that comes with age, Beatz gave it his all to give the Yeti a chance regardless of sacks taken or interceptions thrown, he continued to keep trying even his old age. Beatz is a veteran so obviously they are a great locker room presence to rookies such as Strong and Collins and show us that TPE isn't all that matters in the game, it's your heart. As the QB, Beatz plays an extremely important role on the Yeti. His position is appreciated but I don't think Beatz has received as much credit as he deserves for his accolades over his career and I wish him the best in retirement.
23. As a previous sim tester for the Portland Pythons and a current tester (partially) for the Colorado Yeti, I have a decent amount of experience with the sim and it's quirks. The sim engine that we use more than delivers it's purpose for us as a league but it is filled with bugs and grievances that can get under the skin of many players in the league. The phrases "sim gonna sim" and "sim hoed" didn't come from nothing after all. If given the opportunity, and if I knew how to code at all, I think some improvements that could be made for the sim engine would be actual time management as well as showing kickoff/punt returns and interceptions. For time management, the sim has a habit of going for a FG on 1st and Goal with <20 seconds remaining in the 2nd or 4th quarter. Instead of kicking a FG instantly, run down the clock or go for it depending on the situation. This is an important aspect of football so I think it would be a huge improvement for the sim. For returns and interceptions, I think a lot of users would like to see how players got the yardage they did, if there was a big stop, or if anyone got juked. We can see all offensive plays down to the nitty gritty, I think letting special teams and defensive players that get their hands on the ball being shown would be much more interesting than just a solid line through the center of the field.
26. If Willeh Strong wasn't a professional in the ISFL, he would still be lifting weights and trying to get stronger. I think this would lead to a career as a body builder or even a weight trainer to get other people somewhat hear his level. Strong's favorite hobby has always been weight lifting and testing/improving his own ability with his strength, so obviously this would continue even if he wasn't an all-star LB for the Yeti. Another option Strong has would be helping his community in Charlotte. There are always people in need and Strong likes helping people just as much as he likes hitting running backs and quarterbacks. A life long goal of Strong has always been to open up a soup kitchen or homeless shelter in the needy areas of Charlotte and not being a professional in the ISFL would give him much more time to follow this goal. Both of these are possibilities and is likely where Strong will go once his career comes to an end.
