Freshman Season
Before the 2033 Notre Dame Campaign began, Haha instantly caught the eye of the head coach and his teammates. This shot up his stock to become a starter. The first game during the year was rough.

Junior Season
2035 Season was the best season yet. Haha threw for over 3000 yards and 20 touchdowns with only 6 interceptions. Notre Dame went 10-1 with Haha starting all 10 wins.

Professional career
Currently, Haha was selected 74th overall in the S21 DSFL draft by the Dallas Birddogs. Previous GM, Gucci, asked Haha Mango-Panda to switch positions from quarterback to linebacker. Without hesitation the young player started working hard on becoming a linebacker.
Transition to Linebacker
The transition was rough for Haha, he had to gain a ton of weight and has to learn defensive techniques such as coverage and block shedding. While working out, Haha increased his overall strength and speed that will help him in his first season. Throughout the season, Haha became a Speed rusher and nickel coverage linebacker for the Birddogs, ultimately becoming the fastest linebacker in the season 22 NSFL draft class and helping bolster the Dallas Defense.
DSFL (2036-curernt)
Haha started as a coverage linebacker for the Birddogs. And has contributed to the inaugural season of Dallas, to which the Birddogs fell into a 5-9 record. In better news, the defensive unit of the Birddogs was one of the best in the DSFLand Haha helped contribute with an amazing 106 Tackles and 4 Pass deflections. Not an easy task considering he made the switch to linebacker. In addition, he also recorded a blocked punt against Myrtle Beach Buccaneers, which helped inspired a comeback shot for the playoffs. As a nickle linebacker, the linebacker didn't see much of sacks or tackles for losses, those were for more of his teammates, Bayley and Koniecpolski. He was assigned to clean up any missed or holes that would develop in the defense. As of 2036, he is one of the top linebackers in the class and could play down for another year at Dallas.
