IRBL HoF Induction
Our only inductee this season is Argentina TE Lukas Heyward
This titan TE played 8 seasons, hit over 34K yds, and found the endzone 525 times, helping the Warriors to their first ever title in S8!
Congrats @JedirickyRetro!
Second: @Coach_KearseRB, HC of the Montreal Independents
He was also there at the beginning, facing Memphis for the first title. Although he fell short, his team always had heart each season they played.
He was an outstanding competitor, and his team will be missed.
Before we start up Season 9, I would like to take a moment to recognize two outstanding coaches who have announced their retirement from IRBL.
Both coaches will be missed and are always welcome back if the opportunity presents itself.
First: @Coach_Memphii, HC of the Memphis Biscuits
He was there when this league first began, becoming the first IRBL champ. He became the first to win a 2nd title in S4, and coming close in S5.
He was a top player, and his team will be missed.
Presenting your S8 Awards!
Croatia WR Babic has been selected as your S8 MVP!
Orangeburg RB Stanton takes OPotY, while Frankfurt LB Cisco wins DPotY!
Congrats to all!

The S8 IRBL Championship is set!
