(S31) PT 1 - End of a Decade

[Troen]

And thats the end of the another ten seasons in the ISFL. Ahead of the start of Season 31, talk about what the most memorable or your favorite moment in these last ten seasons were. If you are new or wish to look forward rather than look back, talk about your hopes and ambitions for the next ten seasons.

My first season with the (then) Myrtle Beach Buccaneers was a clear standout time in the league. There was tons of energy both on the team and with myself due to the size of the class and the amount of learning and research I had to do with regards to the whole NSFL and its systems. We also ended up doing well which made the season enjoyable in its own right, but the novelty combined with the amount of information that was out there stood out. It's interesting, though - if I'd been answering this prompt at the end of that season with regards what stood out the most, I'm sure I would have said something that to be honest didn't stand the test of time compared to my impressions now. I think part of that is the draft out of the DSFL into the ISFL fragmented the teams we had. In some ways, that's the point I think? But still, it did mean that the emotional connections I had with the people didn't stick around in the same way, especially with going to Austin and trying to get really rolling there. The collective MBB experience is still a strong one to me, though, despite the specifics changing over time, and I'm really glad that they took the chance on me.
