7. Write 600 words or more on something about anything in the league that interests you. It could be related to statistics, a league issue that you take seriously, or a niche part of history that doesn’t fit neatly into either of the above categories. This must be directly related to the league, so don’t wax 600 words about your team’s participation on a Werewolf server or something.
I am brand new to this league, but the first thing I noticed upon joining is the massive number of stats I can look through in the wiki and index. Statistical anomalies are some of my favorite things to investigate and point out, and I'm thankful the stats recorded in this league are so in depth, allowing me to look at numbers for as long as I like. Here I will list some of my favorite stats and cases I found in my first look-throughs of the ISFL index and wiki, although I am disappointed I wasn't able to look longer due to the time of my joining. Most of what I write here will be traditional statistics, but I will also include some "easter eggs" throughout the wiki, such as Dermot Lavelle's 130 foot combine broad jump, despite only a 32-inch vertical.
Continuing on the topic of Dermot Lavelle, the hall of famer recorded one of the most impressive seasons of all time. Dermot Lavelle's 2024 (S9) may never be replicated again (not that I have not had time to look through the entire index, so take my admiration of these stats with a grain of salt) and put up elite numbers on all three sides of the ball. On the defensive side of the ball Lavelle recorded a then-record tying 8 interceptions and came second in pass deflections. On the other side of the ball, Lavelle put up above average receiving numbers in with about half the receptions of a typical starting receiver. Even on special teams Lavelle stood out, with 4 total return touchdowns and 1450 yards split among his 46 punt returns and 32 kick returns. Lavelle is considered one of the best cornerbacks of all time, with this 2024 (S9) season being perhaps the crown jewel of a hall of fame and record setting career.
Mike Boss, another historical great in the many seasons of the ISFL, is perhaps known best for threepeat of both MVPs and Ultimus Bowls while playing the founding years of the ISFL with the Orange County Otters, but did you know he set the record for most interceptions in the first ISFL game ever played? Week 1 of 2016 (S1) Mike Boss started his career looking to get a win over the Arizona Outlaws, and after carrying a 3-0 lead into the second quarter. In what can be considered one of the strangest games ever played at any level of the sport, Mike Boss threw for 312 yards, outgaining the entire Outlaws team by 130 yards, but it seemed Boss would not be able to overcome himself as he threw SIX interceptions on the day. A game in which the Outlaws' punter nearly matched Boss in yards, the Outlaws only having 4 first downs to the Otters' 20, of course resulting in a score of 27-12 for the Outlaws. This would clearly not define the rest of Mike's career as he went on to sling the football better than anyone else at the time, and maybe even since, as he still holds the record of eight touchdown passes in a game, only being matched one.
78. The number of attempts in Childish Gambino's 2028 (S13) 43-17 loss to the Second Line. 513 passing yards for two touchdowns in a blowout loss. Maybe it was the 86 yards of penalties, maybe it was the four turnovers, maybe it was the refusal to run the ball. Now I'm not exactly knowledgeable of the simulation system the ISFL runs on, but surely it can't be healthy to go for it on 4th down SEVEN TIMES in a single game. The other team outscored you with just their kicker, maybe turning the ball over in your own half isn't the best idea?
I really enjoy stats, and maybe I'll create my own Scorigami page and sort through every score in ISFL history, or maybe I'll make more media posts analyzing and anomalies I notice during my reading.
