16) Choose your favorite non-playoffs game of this season, whether your own team or another. Explain what was so special and why the winner ultimately came out victorious, including key players and moments. (2.5 TPE)
My favorite no playoff game of the season huh? Well, for that I'll have to go with non other than the super spicy preseason game between the Sarasota Sailfish and the Yellowknife Wraiths. Talk about excitement, this game had it all! You had comedy, you had pain, you had agony, you had despair, you had good food, and you had good dotball.
The game started simple enough with Yellowknife taking a meager 10-3 lead into halftime. The third quarter appeared to be business as usual for the Yellowknife Wraiths, who were the reigning Ultimus Champions, entering the fourth quarter up 13-3. But that's when everything changed. It would appear that the game was just getting started.
Touchdowns were scored by both Sarasota and Yellowknife early on in the quarter, bringing it to 20-10, but Sarasota wasn't finished. Sarasota scored their second touchdown of the quarter with almost 5 minutes remaining in the game. At 20-16, Sarasota just needed to make one stop. However, Yellowknife managed to make a field goal on their next possession, putting them up 23-16 with only 2:08 left in the game. Surely that was the nail in the coffin. BUT NO! Despite their best efforts (and all the dry heaving from the commentators) Sarasota returned the ensuing kickoff 98 yards, all the way to Yellowknife's 2 yard line. Sarasota scored on the next play and sent it into Overtime. In the end, Yellowknife won it on a field goal on the first possession.
18) Choose any award from the past 23 offseasons that you think should’ve gone to a different contender. Why was your chosen candidate’s season superior to the actual winner? (2.5 TPE)
This one is a no brainer. I'm going to have to go all the way back to season 21 in the DSFL and talk about the performance of the year award. The nominees for this award were Quinn Hughes (Week 1) with the London Royals, Gregor Macgregor (Week 7) with the Portland Pythons, Magnus Valdyr (Week 7) with the Tijuana Luchadors, Acura Skyline (Week 6) with the London Royals, and Luke Skywalker (Week 4) with the Norfolk Seawolves. Out of those five nominees, it was really only a three person race.
In the end, the awards committee shocked the ISFL community with a mind boggling decision. They, in their infinite wisdom, thought a QB who only threw 11/15 for 97 yards, was worthy of winning this award. Not a running back who rushed for 133 yards on 20 attempts, 6.6 yard average, with two touchdowns. Not a safety who returned not one, BUT TWO interceptions for touchdowns, a total of 113 interception return yards, setting multiple franchise records in the process.
The obvious winner here should have been Magnus Valdyr. Pick sixes don't happen all that often, but to do it twice in one game is something special. Something that has only happened three times in the history of the ISFL. Totally not bitter about this at all...
