I'm jealous the Storm-Bandits game has 71 posts so far and it's only Friday. Come on Outlaws and Ice fans let's get a thread going. Oh wait, there are only 2 other Outlaws fans on here and 0 Ice fans. Never mind.

Colorado's Coach Collins Sanders is a cool guy. I have met him at a few games going all the way back to the Bismarck days. I figured he wouldn't remember me but I sent him an e-mail today asking him for his 21 man roster for this weekends game. I put my name at the end, Brian George. His first reply was "I'm sorry, I don't recognize who you are. Outlaws Coach O'neal was sent the roster and should be able to give it to you."
I replied that I no longer do radio for the Outlaws and I am just a fan of the IFL. And then apologized for wasting his time. And put "Yellowstone" Brian George on the end of the e-mail this time.
His next reply was "I didn't know you were the infamous Yellowstone, I would have sent it right away". So he sent the 30 and 21 man roster. I have always though he was a great guy, and taking the time to e-mail a fan of the opposing team his roster was really cool. The Ice are now my 2nd favorite team!

Sanders off the field may be a nice guy but on the field, the dude deserves to get tossed every game, Sorry dude the refs arent the reason ur team totally blows.

Hope to see a nice solid overall game from the Outlaws today. This should be a game to get it done as they always handle the Ice at home. I'll give my opinion after the game.

This will be a telling game for the Outlaws. We haven't played worth a poo this season. The shake-up in the roster should do us some good. I look for a big game from the Outlaws today after 3 weeks to think about the loss to the Storm. Attitudes should be back. Heading to tailgate, GO OUTLAWS!!!!!

Way too many penalties (11 Outlaws, 6 Ice) AT HOME! I still have my doubts about our team. We shot ourselves in the foot repeatedly yet again. This should have been a 50-point win over a vastly inferior team. Does anyone keep stats on Hail Marys allowed? I guarantee Billings has everyone else doubled this season. It's sickening how the Outlaws simply hand over long bomb after long bomb. Other notes are the ignorance of Outlaws players regarding what they should or should not do in a game. Colorado got a penalty for throwing the ball into the stands and an Outlaw (Linscomb) did it just a few minutes later. At least he signed it first. Jacka$$. I am doubting our coaching. Coach O showed he can take a team to the Championship, but if you do it and sacrifice your discipline, it's not worth it.
New face Bloom was awesome for the Outlaws. 8 catches for 101 yards and 3 TDs - in his first game! I thought shaking up the roster would help and it did. We just need our defense to step up.

Antwan Bloom is awesome. I watched him play at Morningside once and paid attention to him ever since. Very suprised he didnt do more for SC.
BTW Burrell went 7 for 122 and 2 TDs for the Bandits. Seems like an even trade.

Party bonus! I hope Burrell tears it up for you guys. Tell you what. We'll ship good players to you if you ship good players to us. Meet in the middle at the Championship (in Billings, of course).

New face Bloom was awesome for the Outlaws. 8 catches for 101 yards and 3 TDs - in his first game! I thought shaking up the roster would help and it did. We just need our defense to step up. I agree with Outlaw on a few things and disagree on a few as well. First thing I agree on is Bloom...He was awesome today. Looks like he will work great alongside Casmier and Walton. For some reason Burrell never fit in here, hopefully things work for him now that he has moved on. Tim Brown at RB was great as well. It is great to have him back! Billings should have won by more, I agree. But, I will take a 24 point win anytime. The hail mary at the end of the first half for Colorado was pretty bad, but I (and the Colorado bench) thought the Ice got away with a push off. I sit right behind the visitors bench every week and I can always get a feel if a play was called right or wrong by asking the opposing players and coaches. I thought Linscomb throwing the ball in the stands was hilarious. Former Outlaw Jacqwuan Brackenridge was sitting directly behind me and threw Linscomb a Sharpie after his TD. Linscomb then signed the ball and threw it and the Sharpie back to Jacqwuan. Well worth the penalty! I talked with Colorado's Coach Sanders after the game and I felt bad for him and the Ice. They have been killed by injuries to the QB all year. First they lose Bozeman in the opening game, then lose Millus who had played the last couple games to a rib injury. Ellis started for them tonight and was ineffective for the first quarter and a half. They benched him and put in Miles Scheer and he led them down the field and scored on his first possession. He goes in for his second series and breaks his ankle. Tough luck. I thought the all of Ice players were very good guys and were fun to talk smack with. Things don't get any easier for the Ice. Their next 4 games are back to back with Amarillo, Sioux Falls and Wichita. They might be 0-9 after that stretch. I thought the Outlaws played their best game of the season, but there still is a lot of room for improvement. I am glad this is the last Sunday game of the season. THEY SUCK! Saturday night games always have more attendance and the crowd is into the game more as well. Billings is 4-1 and have Alaska coming next week. Then on the road to Tri-Cities and Kent. Should be 7-1after that and ready to make the playoff run.

Not much to add to what outlaw and yellowstone said. I thought they played much better but not to the level of lst year. I am not ready to panic though.

By the way, I thought Chris Dixon looked great last night. 8 td's and a pick. The pick was a ball that bounced off of Blooms chest right into the defenders arms....Looked like the MVP of the league is back!
