Man oh man, all of these bowl games are getting me ready for the Arena season. Can't wait to see the Iron offense light up the field with Greisen to Jones and Young rushing the ball. Should be a great season and I'm excited to see how this new league comes around and how the fans react. I have no doubt that the Milwaukee fans will turn out for some big games this season!

Levin, part of the ownership group of the Rush, along with Arthur Price, Peter Levin and Mike Ditka, gets plenty of reminders. "I get e-mails every day sa… Continue

Rgv Dorados

Looks like Rvg going to IFL. They wont play until the 2011 season. There is a small video on the subject at KRGV.com in the Sports section titled Valley Pro Football Goes Into Hibernation. Looks like the investors don't want to rush into it, and need to work on a new lease with the Dodge Arena. Continue

By Bill Reynolds The Providence Journal, RI 01:00 AM EDT on Thursday, October 29, 2009 He has played arena football for teams in South Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Washington, New Hampshire, and Louisiana, and that’s just some of the places.

KC Franchise

I really do hope that an owner or ownership group from Kansas City will step up and get a new team started here. There are many of us who were die hard for the Brigade that would love to have Arena football alive and kicking again. Continue

Twisters: AFL woes not theirs

By Doug Crise Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Wednesday, August 5, 2009 LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Twisters are planning to play football in Verizon Arena in North Little Rock next summer, though probably under a different banner. Tuesday’s news that the Arena Football League will likely fold after 22 years isn’t expected to change much for the Twisters and their league, Arena Football 2. AF2 had little stake in the failed league because of a stand-alone business model in which the AF2 and its memb… Continue

TWISTERS SQUEEZE BY AMARILLO

6/22/09 Little Rock, AR - The Twisters needed this win after dropping two in a row to those dreaded Oklahoma teams. This team has never looked the same after the loss of Rod Harper, but against the Dusters I saw a little progress in the receiving core with the addition of Aaron F… Continue

Pay Back is Sweet!

May 17, 2009 The season is halfway over and the Twisters brought home a record of 6-2 after beating the Central Valley Coyotes in Fresno, California. I was hoping the team would carry a little payback with them into this non-conference game. They did just that and Kyle Rowley comp… Continue

Week 3 Keys to the Game

MAHONING VALLEY? This will be the first of two meetings against the Mahoning Valley Thunder for the Talons. Tulsa has never met face to face with the Thunder until now. The Talons will also be visiting Mahoning Valley on April 25th. Some may be asking where Mahoning Valley is at and wanting to know a little about them. The Thunder are actually located in Youngstown, Ohio and this will be their third season in the af2. The team is coming off of a poor 3-13 season and is so far 1-1 on the season.… Continue

Week 2 Keys to the Game

The Talons hit the road this week and head to Des Moines, Iowa to face the 1-0 Barnstormers. Iowa defeated Milwaukee 60-38 in an impressive week 1 victory. SHARPEN UP Tulsa managed to grab a win against the Horsemen, but it was ugly and a much closer game than it should have been. Obviously the 4 INT’s by Allgood is something that will have to be controlled and quickly as we head further into the season. You could see the rust on Justin by the overthrown, underthrown, and picked off passes all… Continue

GAME #2-Amarillo Dusters

After the tight win last week, the 1-0 Arkansas Twisters will be playing on the road for the first time this 2009 season and will be looking to improve to 2-0 tonight against the Amarillo Dusters. If the twisters can win tonight, it will mark only the second time in their 10 year existence that they have won their first two games back to back. The Twisters sputtered at times but came through and were able to hold off Bossier Shreveport in last weeks close battle. Though this game is not a divisi… Continue

Quick Recap of the game: (COURTEOUS OF AF2.COM) "The Arkansas Twisters defeated the Bossier-Shreveport BattleWings, 39-38, in a defensive minded contest in front of 3,819 fans at the Alltel Arena on Saturday night.

Screamer's Take

The Green Bay Blizzard opened the 2009 season against the af2 defending Champion Tennessee Valley Vipers. The Blizzard came into the contest with 15 rookies and only 4 players from last years Midwest Division Championship team. Tennessee Valley returned the majority of their team from a year ago, so many had the Vipers favored to win. The Blizzard had another idea for how this game would turn out. The Blizzard offensive line came out and for the most part controlled the line of scrimmage, which… Continue

Anyways time to begin the first blog on our first game-The BattleWings of Bossier-Shreveport. History of Opposing Team The team when first introduced in 2000 was originally… Continue
