The Colorado Yeti recently made a push to win the Ultimus that ultimately fell short; it was very hard for the players because we knew if we did not win that we would have to rebuild the team. We won't be there next season, we likely won't even be close to good. However, I think the season after that we can take a step toward a playoff berth and if we make the playoffs then anything can happen. The management team in Colorado has undergone some change but I remain confident in its ability to put together a wonderful team that can compete.
The Yeti have some nice pieces in Beau Montgomery, Logan Lejune and James Bishop to build around. The holes are many but the Yeti have 10 draft picks to try and build the roster up. This draft features a lot of defensive prospects who can come in and join Montgomery and Lejune and help shut down the offences. Colorado can build up the defence this draft and then they can focus on the offence next year and look to start competing. If you mix in a key free agent signing or two then the timeline moves up and the Yeti are back!
Playoff Predictions, Reviews:
I never thought I would see the day that San Jose would win an Ultimus but that changed this season when they beat the Philadelphia Liberty 36-24. The Liberty opened the scoring with a field goal and it took the Sabrecats five minutes to answer with a 3 point kick of their own. However, the Liberty turned it on and jumped up to a 17-6 lead with only six minutes left in the first half and it looked like Philly was going to walk to an Ultimus win.
The Sabrecats never say die attitude allowed them to march down, kick a field goal, come up with a big interception and score a touchdown in less than 4 minutes. San Jose went into halftime trailing 17-16 but they carried Big Mo with them into their locker rooms. The Gold and Green team walked out for the third quarter and nobody told the Liberty that the game had resumed as the Sabrecats scored ten straight points in the 3rd, which made it 20 unanswered points since Boija's touchdown. Philly showed some life in the final stanza as von Matt was found Falconi to make it a 24-26 game but it was not enough as the Sabrecats answered with another unanswered 10 points to win the Ultimus 36-24!
