Big game against Denver (they are all big)!

I can't figure Denver out. On paper, they don't seem like they should be good... but they are... quite good in fact.

Two weeks ago I felt good about the direction in which we were heading... after last week against the Catfish, I feel like we don't stand a chance. Which Mechanics team will show up this week?

We have a draft position battle against Ohio Valley. We are both 3-8. Go Riders.

Aaron... take it easy on my guys tonight! Beat us up and down the field... just don't hurt my QB please!

[Sully]

Interesting weather for the Memphis/Utah game. Rain and 22 mph winds.

Aaron... take it easy on my guys tonight! Beat us up and down the field... just don't hurt my QB please!

I cant make any promises. My D lineman are animals and cant be controlled. If he dies....he dies.

You hired Drago as your strength coach... that's got to be against the rules right?

Although the game may or may not be competitive, tonight's North Liberty-Charlotte game is interesting since it features a ton of players who were on the other side of the field just a few months ago. For Charlotte, WR Maurice Reader and DE Paul Reid both spent last year with North Liberty, with Reader actually playing a few preseason games there this year before the Siegrist trade. The aforementioned Siegrist, along with backup LT James Grant return to Charlotte for the first time in 14 weeks. We'll see who shows up with the bigger chip on their shoulder.
