(S31) PT 1 - End of a Decade

[xenosthelegend]

As a member of the second largest draft class in ISFL history (S25), my favorite moment was probably the moment I was drafted in the DSFL draft. The London GMs said I was their favorite kicker prospect by a lot, and I did not disappoint them. In my first season with London, we won the Ultimini, that was probably my second favorite memory in this league. After that it would probably be just hanging out in locker rooms, and having fun with teammates. In the ISFL, my time with the Philadelphia Liberty has been less than great. I fully believe that this team was abandoned by god. I have won both kicker of the year, and punter of the year. Those were good memories in this league. Looking to the future is something that is done very often in the Philadelphia locker room. It is a vicious cycle of getting your hopes up with good performances against playoff teams at the end of the year and getting your hopes up, and then starting from square one at the start of the next season. But this season I have changed positions to WR, and will hopefully create some good memories in the sim this season. I also intend to be the first player to win all special teams awards.

The top moment of the last ten seasons in the isfl for me happened in s23. At this point I had been the general manger of the Philadelphia Liberty for 4 long tough seasons. We were at the back end of a deep rebuild and finally looked ready to compete. We started the season 4-4 which wasn't the greatest record but was the best start we had at the halfway point in years and we were fighting hard for the three spot in the NSFC. We lost a game and then went on a dominant 4 game winning streak which put us in 2nd place only a game out from the first place YKW. We dropped the next 2 games and became stuck in a tie for 3rd place with Baltimore. The Hawks held the tie breaker so we need to win and Baltimore to lose in the final week. Unfortunately our matchup was against the 1st place yellowknife wraiths. All hope seemed lost as we went into the week. Baltimore lost meaning all we had to do was pull off a major upset to avoid another playoff less season. The game started and Sam Torenson had a monstrous game putting up 100 yards and a touchdown with Philly winning 35-17 and making the playoffs for the 1st time since s17.

I have quite a few memories as I look back on the less than ten season I have been in the international simulation football league. I've only won one championship in my career across sim leagues and it was in the Simulation Hockey League. I was able to win a championship, not only in the Development Simulation Football League but also for my majors team. Yellowknife has been great to me and I am so glad that I could win a championship with this group of players. The locker room has been great and I have loved being able to bond over the great game of football. I've also have not had much player success across my sim leagues. I have won back to back defensive end of the year awards and still have a lot of great football in me. So looking forward I guess I'm looking at keeping up dominating at the defensive end position. I'm trying to go down as one of the best to ever play and I think I have a chance if I can keep up with my previous play. While my team may be heading towards a rebuild I'm looking forward to seeing what this new management group can do. Wraiths forever.

I haven’t spent too much time in the league however I have had some highlights, so I will talk about them and what i’m looking forward too in the next decade, the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to highlights is obviously the ultimini win with Minnesota, it was my third and last season with the team and we felt slightly disappointed in the previous seasons, that season with the team was amazing, we played amazingly throughout the regular season (apart from one game) and afterwards in the postseason we dominated, ending in a 40-0 ultimini which validated all the hard work we as a team put in, most of us were in a voice chat and I can’t lie I was extremely nervous before the game but we blew them away, it was truly magical. Another highlight was being named captain of the Greyducks, it felt great that they would offer me the role and it was a really memorable moment, and of course another highlight was getting drafted to both the dsfl and the isfl, those were fantastic moments that I remember fondly. For the future I'm looking forward to making memories with the copperheads, hopefully winning an ultimus as that is the main goal for now.

Having been in the league for the past thirteen or so seasons, this prompt is right up my alley. There have been many great moments and memories that I've made during the previous ten years of NSFL and ISFL football. If I had to pick one moment that represents the best of the league during that span, I would have to say the S23 Ultimus championship game. In my final season as Yellowknife Wraiths GM, after four straight Ultimus losses from S18-21, finally reaching the peak of the mountaintop with my team was just pure joy. It was the end of an era for me and many other veteran players who had been searching for the elusive title for seasons, and to see all of the hard work and dedication to the Wraiths put in by my teammates rewarded with a championship was the best thing I could've asked for. Going out on a high note was nice, but even better was watching my successors fly and pmoney continue to take the team to new heights with multiple more championships after I had stepped down, but nothing that I accomplish in the league from this point on will feel as incredible as winning that game with my team.

With S30 coming to a close, Ernest Lover has been in the ISFL since his draft season of S26. While less than a decade, those four years have been eventful. After being called up immediately to the "big leagues" by the Baltimore Hawks to play S26, Ernest was traded to the Sarasota Sailfish in the offseason. He quickly realized that this team would be his forever home in the league and helped shore up the defensive line in S27, when the team won the Ultimus for the first time in expansion franchise history. It was amazing to be a part of the championship team, made even more exciting by the fact that Ernest was learning the playbook and getting to know the team as the season went on. It really felt like he built himself up towards that final game. Finishing his first season with the team with the team's first Ultimus victory was by far Ernest's most memorable moment in his time in the ISFL. Since then, the team has continued to be competitive -- now with the longest continuous playoff streak of any team in the ISFL -- took home the second franchise trophy in the most recent season (S30), and Ernest has had some amazing personal performances on the field. But nothing can top the feeling of getting that first trophy with his new football family.

I think with my time so far in the International Simulation Football League, probably one of my favorite memories has been the New York Silverbacks championship playoff run. Never having won a simulation league championship I honestly wasn’t completely convinced we would win cause I feel jinxed but it was such an amazing week of sims. New York is such a great place to play and I really enjoy my teammates. My general managers, and the locker room itself. I hope to make the most of Tugg Speedmans career while I can and maybe try to go on and win another championship. I definitely hope that I start hitting some statistical milestones soon. I have lofty goals and would love to start taking the next big step in becoming a future Hall of Famer. But i know the next decade in the sim will be a blast in New York. We have made the post-season every season that I have been with the team who it has been really amazing. Here’s to more memories that I will make with my favorite team: The New York Silverbacks! And who knows maybe I won’t be a one and done and you’ll get to see a recreate for Tugg.
