1) SHL Affiliate Point Task
2) Dynasty
The New Orleans Second Line will certainly be the next NSFL dynasty team. First step in being a dynasty is to actually win a title in the first place. In case you may have been living under a rock, New Orleans accomplished this herculean task this very year so the first win in a repeat or three-peat has already happened.
And as I understand it, this represented a bit of a rise from the ashes of mediocrity. That’s another important step as the GMs will certainly be challenged to maintain excellence. If they walked into a successful program, there is no guarantee that they can maintain it, but since they are the ones to build the team that won it all, we all can be sure that they know what it takes to make a team work on the field.
@jusosu may be stepping down, but she will still be around to help out and @TomHanks was vitally instrumental in building the team in any case so that part is covered as well. He will be able to step in seemlessly and get the job done. And with @IsaStarcrossed stepping in, we have a real winner going forward.
Finally, the team has a super strong core. And that core is going to stick around because the New Orleans discord LR is absolutely lit.
Yes, Second Line – new NSFL dynasty!
3) Sponsorships
With the Ultimus now decided and the New Orleans Second Line crowned as NSFL champions, you have certainly already seen the ad starring Second Line’s very own star WR2 Jed Podolak. The ad, of course, is for Gorilla Glue. The company thought the relationship with Jed Podolak was a natural due to his incredible talent for hanging on to the ball as if it were attached to his hands with super adhesive Gorilla Glue.
The ad featured a montage of Jed going up for difficult catches and either snagging them seemingly right on his fingertips as if they were smeared with Gorilla Glue or holding on even though he absorbed a rib crunching hit from an aggressive safety or cornerback.
The tag line was, “Gorilla Glue, keeps things stuck together like a football and Jed Podolak’s hand’.
The ad has been very popular being written up in ad magazines, placing very hightly in numerous contests for “best commercial of the Ultimus” across various internet site platforms. Gorilla Glue’s company have also seen a sharp spike in sales as a result of the ad, so it has been successful in the only way that really means anything to a business – it helped sell product and increase profits.
4) Nostalgia
I have had many happy memories in my short time here in the NSFL (S19), but probably my happiest one was at the beginning of this season when GM @TomHanks reached out to me to see if I would perhaps help out the Second Line before I rode off into the league’s sunset.
Here is the deal. I am in multiple sim leagues and as everyone knows, really enjoying a league takes some time. It is hard to get everything done and also spend any time with teammates and GMs in the LR, let alone keep all the various league story lines straight in your head.
I had been a minors GM in the PBE for about 3 years when the opportunity came up to apply for an expansion team in the majors. A chance joke about the whole thing got me wondering if I ought to consider it. I did, applied, and got the position. Now GMing takes up a lot more time than just being a player and being an expansion GM is even more work at the beginning.
So, I began paring down the leagues I was in. Tom took the news well and just asked if I could get my Speed maxed before leaving – just a sim or two away. I agreed and he was so grateful. Then I thought maybe I could do a few other easy tasks for TPE before leaving. Again, such thanks I got. Then I figured, why not just keep up on a few ongoing? Tom and the team were fine with that which really drew me in more. So, I just kept going and now I’m writing for an UW PT.
All because Tom reached out in such a friendly and no-pressure way. Thanks Tom! Glad we got to win the championship together!
