Aight boys, first Ultimus week post in a long time, get ready for the ride
6) Our Time
Written: Why should your team be looked at the favorite to win the Ultimus or Ultimini this season.
Lets go, a post dedicated to talking about how hype this Tijuana dynasty is. The greatest DSFL team in the history of the entire DSFL right here, and arguably the best team in the whole sim league based on success, maybe second to only the otters. With homegrown GMs dating all the way back to S5, Tijuana has always kept a tightly knit group of alumni around and in the war room. This team is always ready for a championship run, and TomHanks did just that this season. After Ben and I left the team in TomHanks hands, it was only a matter of time before he led Tijuana to their SIXTH championship in team history. The wall was standing tall all season, allowing a league low 4 sacks through 14 games. With a strong defense, and an equally strong and balanced offense, Tijuana steamrolled the competition all year long and made it clear who the real contenders were. The best thing about Tijuana though, is the locker room culture. Every season, new rookies joining Tijuana are putting in the work and effort needed for a championship team, and I dont think there will be a season where Tijuana are not favorites to win the Ultimini
10) Rivalries
Written: Write about another team and why they are overrated and why you want them to lose.
San. Antonio. Marshals. Build the wall, and make San Antonio pay for it. San Antonio has always been a rival to the Tijuana Luchadores, ever since the DSFL's inception back millions of years ago. Although not always a heated rivalry, I believe this is the best rivalry in the entire league, NSFL included. There is a mutual feeling of hoping the other doesn't win the championship every year, and I dont think that this rivalry will die out soon. This season, the marshals finished at 0.500, and were swiftly dealt with on the road in Tijuana in the first round of the playoffs. It was an old school matchup, with emphasis on defense, and running the ball. San Antonio will have to find some talent in the upcoming draft pool to help these young guys out, and to have any shot at finishing over 0.500 next year. In all seriousness though, I think that this team will have to go through some great GMing in the next few offseasons in order to put themselves ahead of Tijuana, but with the addition of the Solar Bears becoming a user team once again, theyll have to make it count. Do I want them to win? No. Can they win? Of course, and it will be interesting to watch the development of this team.
15) Going to Disneyland!
Written: Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland, or describe how they celebrated.
Ducky Donut was the Ultimini MVP for sure. Lets take a look at his stat line against Portland in the championship game. 21 rushes for 124 yards. 5.9 yards per carry. 2 Touchdowns. Thats a pretty great rushing game in general, but you take the fact that this is in the championship game, with the other best team in the league, and it makes this accomplishment that much greater. Weaving his way through Portlands defense all game extended drives and led Tijuana to beat the Portland Sneks 28-14. Portlands defense is nothing to look past either, this defense was the #1 defense in Points Allowed through the regular season. NUMBER ONE DEFENSE. IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. And this guy breaks 100 yards , averages 6 yards per carry, and scores half the teams touchdowns. Give this guy an extension, a raise, his own yacht, i dont care, get him whatever he wants because he was this teams life blood through the playoffs. Would the Luchadores have succeeded without his miraculous performance? Maybe through the air with veteran WR Laszlo, but against the DSFL's number one scoring defense, nothing is for certain. The only thing certain about this, is that Ducky Donut balled out right when his team needed him most, and thats all that really counts.
19) The Big Fellas.
Written: Write about a Defensive Lineman in the playoffs, and how they will or did affect the outcome.
Big Fellas. Now this is a PT I can get behind. I'm gonna talk to you about how Tijuana's Offensive Line (Nicknamed, "The Wall") dominated every Defensive Lineman in the playoffs. This is also partly an unsung heroes PT too, because these OL are always the unsung heroes to any championship team. Look at the Patriots this last year. Their run game and their OL was the reason they all have rings this year. Same goes for Tijuana. As stated above, Ducky Donut sliced his way through the number one defense in the league. Some credit has to go to the Wall for blocking Portlands front seven in the most important game of the year. Cray Cray Lewis, who had a whopping 16 TFLs and 6 sacks on the season, was left with a single tackle by the end of the game. The Luchadores rushed for 5.7 yards per carry for the entire game. That is a sign of a truly great offensive line front, and is the cornerstone of every teams offense. The Big Fellas up front, throughout the entire league, had to go up against this human wall, and not a whole lot came out successful. Heres to one more season of greatness from the Tijuana Wall... Which San Antonio paid for by the way.
