History of the Colorado Yeti
The Colorado Yeti were established in 2016 as one of six founding teams of the NSFL. The 2016 ISFL season was the Yeti's most successful season to date, and saw them compete for the Ultimus against the Arizona Outlaws. The Yeti lost Ultimus Bowl I 29-6, and have not returned to the playoffs since.
Prior to the 2017 (S2) season the NSFL held an expansion draft as two new teams joined the league. In that draft the Yeti would lose their top defensive back, Vikian Marmeladov, and their top defensive tackle, Vinny Cox, as well as their kicker Bojo Kicksit. After they draft the Yeti would trade to get their kicker back, giving up a 4th round pick in the S2 draft. Despite losing Marmeladov and Cox in the expansion draft things were still looking pretty good for Colorado as they won three of their first five games. The Yeti would stumble though for the middle part of the year, but a strong finish would have them finishing at 8-6 once again. In another year this might have been a great finish, however, the Baltimore Hawks and Yellowknife Wraiths both finished at 8-6 as well and due to tiebreakers the Yeti were left at home watching the playoffs.
The hits would continue to come headed into 2018 (S3) for the Yeti as the interim general managers would step down just after the S3 draft. TheMemeMaestro would become the next Yeti GM and would make a trade for Brice Boggs and in turn Daybe would become Co-GM of the team. Not only were GM changes happening in Colorado, but at the same time the Logan Noble TPE scandal happened leaving the Yeti without a quarterback. Colorado would end up trading the NSFL's 4th leading tackler from 2017 (S2), Luke Tiernen, to the Yellowknife Wraiths for Nicholas Pierno and two future draft picks. No one really knew what the Yeti were going to look like offensively with Pierno given almost no time with his new team, but things didn't look so bad as they'd win all of their preseason games and the first game of the regular season seemingly able to make something happen out of nothing every game. This would only prove to be false hope as the team kind of fell apart after that, failing to score more than 10 points in most of their games. After a few successful seasons the Yeti would fall hard down to a 3-11 record.
The Yeti are the only NSFL team to suffer a winless season, and did so in consecutive seasons in 2020 (S5) and 2021 (S6). Barring the Las Vegas Legion, who relocated to New Orleans, the Colorado Yeti are the losingest franchise in NSFL history.
