Tijuana Ring of Honour TIJ

This offseason saw some more great alumni join our ring of honour. The nominated players were voted on by cuarto de guerra with the rules that a player must be retired from the NSFL to be nominated. The voters were advised to consider both the player's Tijuana career as well as their career afterwards in the NSFL, but it was up to the voters discretion on how they weighted each. You can see the inaugral inductions here.Those joining L'Alto, Mills, Falconi, Flash, and Slothface in the ring of honour are;

Corvo Havran @Raven Max TPE: 1427
Havran holds all the QB records in Tijuana that aren’t held by Falconi. Added on waivers S12 and then played 3 full seasons including an Ultimini win in S13. Three time NSFL QB of the year and S17 league MVP. “Corvo Horvo pass” is one of Ben and Paytons secrit plays that got us the championship in S13 against all odds.

Tana Keïta @Ben Max TPE: 655
Won an Ultimini in his only year in Tijuana before also winning an Ultimus with NOLA. His ISFL career was cut short to focus on coaching in Tijuana, he has remained a part of their defensive staff since.

A little note from the author I was very surprised to have been voted in, I personally didn't vote for Keita and thought there was some other deserving nominations left on the ballot but I am absolutely honoured to be included with the players above. As three linebackers join the two who were already inducted it is very easy to see why I've been calling Tijuana a linebacker factory for years, and there are some alumns making their case in the ISFL right now along with a very strong linebacking group currently playing for the Luchadores proving this tradition will continue for seasons to come.

Once again shout out to @ckroyal92 for the jerseys they look awesome.
