TASK WELFARE: PBE PT
Task 1 – Ultimus Review: The S17 Ultimus saw us a take a trip back in time to watch the Baltimore Hawks take on the Orange County Otters. Both teams got to the final by getting semi-upsets in the conference championships. Rookie QB Franklin Armstrong really got things going for the Otters as he scored on a QB keeper to give OCO the 7-0 lead. Not to be out done, Sunnycursed came back to haunt his old team scoring on the next drive to tie the game at 7-7. Another wide receiver seeking revenge on his old team, Yulic Nagasawa, would proceed to score in the second quarter, giving the Otters the 14-7 lead at halftime. The Hawks would come storming out of the gate in the second half, walking down the field and tying the game at 14-14 on an Ahri Esspeeyeeseetee TD. After some back and forth play, the Otters would strike again and another rookie, Hugh Mongo, would give the Otters the 21-14 lead. Baltimore would finally blink, being the first team to setting for a field goal, cutting the lead to 21-17 as we entered the fourth and final quarter. The only team that would score in the final frame would be the Otters as Johnny Blaze reeled in a 6 yard pass to give the Otters the 28-17 lead and that would be the final score as Orange County wins its 100th Ultimus in 17 seasons.

Task 7: Next Year – I think its time for the NSFL to collectively recognize that the Austin Copperheads will be coming to an S18 playoffs near you. We have a great shot at winning the Ultimus. Why? First off, all you have to do is make the playoffs, and then anything can happen. While we missed out on the playoffs (thanks a lot resim that should’ve happened and would’ve given us the win we needed), Austin went 5-8 this year. That’s a FIVE GAME IMPROVEMENT over our first season. The entire league made us a meme while everyone jumped on Chicago’s dick, but now we’re a team of mostly active players improving while they have Jiggly running the show and everyone is bailing on that team. And that’s exactly why you should bet on Austin next year. We have a lot of active, young players that are gobbling up TPE quickly. We’re improving by leaps and bounds, and we’re definitely taking the next step to the playoffs next year. There’s no reason to think we can’t win the Ultimus once we get there. We’re going to fill the few holes we have in the draft (hopefully) and then we’re all going to work towards the same goal of improving as much as possible during the season. (216)
Task 8 - Draft Focus – While things are definitely looking up at every single position for the Austin Copperheads, there are a few spots we really need to focus on in the upcoming draft. I know that the task asked for us to point out what round we’d like to fill said holes, but because of draft strategy and such, I won’t say that specifically. There isn’t much we need to fill in Austin. Personally, what I think we need most is a stud CB to play opposite of Dermot. After that, I’d personally like to find a Safety to pair with Jensen because it seems our pick from last season is going IA. We could also definitely use another Linebacker, even though we did just trade for Blake Faux. Defensive line help couldn’t hurt either. We aren’t really hurting on the offensive side of the ball thanks to our expansion draft and our focus on the best players available in the past. It’s a little frustrating because I know we should be picking 3rd overall, but a dumb-ish trade dropped us all the way down to 10th this first round. BUT we have a few second rounders so we’ll be doing well enough to get some of these guys (I won’t go into specifics on who) and I think we’re about to nail another Austin draft class as we continue to grow our locker room with excellent people and players.
