One of the best past events in my mind is the S7 season. This was a crazy and tumultuous that saw the Yellowknife Wraiths get the best record in NSFL history at 13-1 with the Orange County Otters not far behind with a 12-2 record. This was my first season as a GM of the Philadelphia Liberty and it was well crafted and formed to compete under @adam2552’s expert GMing. We honestly didn’t expect to beat the Wraiths in the playoffs given their home field advantage in the NSFC playoffs. The other times we played them in the regular season, it was a close lose on the road and a blow out loss at home so we didn’t have high expectations of coming away with a victory. Lo and behold, lady luck smiled down upon the boys from Philadelphia to give us a 40-31 victory in Yellowknife. It wasn’t an easy victory either given the 7 Liberty penalties to 1 Wraiths penalty, but the offense was firing on all cylinders to win this one. We shifted our attitudes after that game and knew that we could pull off the upset again walking into Orange County. With a few key adjustments on offense, we were able to pull off the Philly Special with Paul DiMirio leading the offense and clinching a secure Ultimus victory. This was extremely unexpected and we were happy that we were able to pull off 2 road victories in a row in the playoffs.
