Tier 3: Written/Graphics Tasks (Each must be either 200+ words or a graphic)
Choose up to FOUR for 2.5 TPE each.
19. Theres a prompt about stadium design, but now lets dig deeper. Each stadium serves some concessions for the fans coming in to watch the games. Talk us through their menu. Graphic Option: Design a menu for your team's stadium.
The city of New Orleans has always been different than every other city in the United States. A city dripping in creole culture, the Big Easy is one of a kind. That being said, their stadium concession menu is one of a kind as well. They still have to regular common fare available, mostly for the away teams fanbase, things like hot dogs and hamburgers. But for the locals and the more adventurous spectators, they can select authentic creole dishes, like gumbo and jambalaya, your choice of fried or blackened catfish and shrimp served along side of some grits. There are several stands where you can order multiple types of Po’Boy sandwiches if that is more your speed. And you wouldn’t want to miss stopping at he Crawfish Corner, where truck loads of fresh crawfish are brought in every game day for the fans to enjoy. And to wash down all of this delicious food, why not try some of the New Orleans born cocktails while you watch the Second Line on the field. Maybe a Hurricane or Arnaud’s Special Cocktail? My personal favourite is the Ramos Gin Fizz, a local favourite created at the end of the 1th century. So, as you can see, any ISFL fan who comes to a game in New Orleans will be able to sample some of the Big Easy’s food and drink while watching the best franchise in the league take the field.
22. Now thats two seasons on the new sim. Only two of the teams that made the playoffs in the first season made it as well in the second. Talk us through how the teams have been adjusting to the sim, and if we will start seeing more consistent playoffs' competitors in future seasons.
It’s definitely been a tale of two seasons for the New Orleans Second Line. Last season, the first for the new sim engine, was also my first season in the ISFL. So, we were both rookies and I had no expectations about how either of us would do. I was pleasantly surprised in all aspects of this! My player had a great rookie season, winning the Defensive Rookie of the Year award. And the sim was really shiny a new, and much better to watch in my opinion. And then on top of all of that, my team, the New Orleans Second Line, had a terrific finish to the season and we fought our way to the Ultimus game, which one really predicted. We unfortunately lost in the Ultimus final, but we had a wild ride! So, I would have to say, last season was a huge success all around! This season was a different story. We had a rough offseason, losing some key players to free agency and retirement, but we were still eager to get back out on the field. We had a slow start to the season, just like we did last season, but this time we weren’t able to turn the season around. We ended up missing the playoffs this season. So, it’s no surprise to anyone, that we were not one of the teams to make the playoffs in both these seasons. Although it sucks, I think it is great that there is that much turnover. We can’t take anything for granted, and once we do get back into the playoffs, we will remember what it is like to have a quick fall from the top. There are so many great players and teams in the league, we can’t take anything for granted and we’ll have to work as hard as we came, as players and as a team to make sure we get back to the top and stay there.
26. Imagine your current position was not available to be picked when you created your player. What other position would you have picked, and why?
I’ve thought about this quite a bit. As I’m sure everyone remembers, during the drafting process you are asked about your willingness to switch positions. I wondered what position would interest me the most. I’ve always been a big fan of defense in all sports, so my go to was to select a defensive position. Linebacker has always been my favourite position, so I went with that. It was a toss up between that and a CB, since I really didn’t have interest in making a player on the line. But, if I had to think of another position that would be one I’d want my player to play, I think I’d go on the offensive side of the game. I never actually played football in a league or anything, I was a basketball and hockey guy. I do remember thinking that if I did play football, tight end was the position I’d want to play. It is a nice mix of physicality and skill. I loved the idea of laying down some solid blocks on one play and then running a route and making a catch on the next. So, if I did have to choose another position, I think it would have been a TE. And when recreate time comes around, I just may do that!
