Being on a team that is 1-8-1 and asked to highlight a bright spot is difficult at best. I am honestly too competitive to find a light in such a disappointing season. I feel like if I single one person out for being good in a tumultuous season, it will make everyone else look like the root of the epic suck train that is Season Twenty-Nine. Instead, I will opt to not highlight one person. As an alternative solution, I'd like to highlight the entire team. The entire Copperheads roster should be highlighted for sticking it out through such a rough season. In my 4 years in Austin, we missed the playoffs twice off traditional tiebreakers and a 5-way tie. We had a subpar season that preceded our miraculous run to the Ultimus last season. Then this trainwreck of a season smacked us in the face, and kept smacking us, and kept smacking us some more.
I have to give props to all of my Copperheads teammates that are still alive and active, which is over 75% of the current roster. The team could have easily imploded at this point, on the brink of being eliminated from the playoffs after Monday night, but almost all of the guys that have the TPE stocked up are still ticking. Over the years, the team has acquired formerly disgruntled players from similarly losing teams, but the morale of those players has remained higher than when they respectively decided to want out of their old situations.
