I hope not. I personally like to see games come down to a great defensive stop or a last second touchdown (it doesn't get better than that for me). What I want to see is a close game throughout with both teams playing as hard as they can, and that's what I expect. I can't think of a greater championship game than this (we could have had it in the UIF for the last two years of its existence if they weren't in the same conference). I hate dynasty's, but I also appreciate the coaching and play of these two teams. 3 more days to go.

Time to give a little breakdown of this weeks game...
Offense---Advantage Billings
Defense---Advantage Push.
Special Teams---Advantage Sioux Falls
Coaching---Advantage Push
Intangibles---Billings...Home field always helps.
Prediction Billings 52 Sioux Falls 48
There isn't a team I like Billings to beat more than Sioux Falls. However, if the Outlaws have to lose a game I wouldn't want it to be any other team than the Storm. While I am not a Storm fan to say the least, I respect their entire organization from ownership, coaching staff, players, radio guy (Rich is the man) to their fans (Bouncer, you and your crew are great, and I wish I could be there to watch the game with you). Good Luck to both teams, they both deserve to be in the United Bowl and may the best team win.

For the sake of clarity.. I wish they would STOP calling this United Bowl II.. other than that..
playoff beard, check tickets in hand (thanks claimjumper), check roadtripmobile oil changed, service performed, check props to heckle refs, check
Should be a super fun experience. Win or lose, both teams arrived here largely without interference from the league office who, i must add, when placed between a rock and a hard place left the games in Billings where they belonged. The argument for a neutral site game is legitimate, but largely fueled by Storm fans who aren't as fortunate as I am to make the trip. The fact that the Outlaws own their own practice facility, and were able to retrofit it to accommodate a professional level playoff indoor football game in under a week speaks volumes to how lucky Billings fans are to have such great (well funded) ownership, and the work ethic of the fine people of Montana.

This will be the first Storm playoff game I've missed since Lexington '05 (sniff), but I agree, it would have been wrong to move the game.

Nice video, but a tad too long. If it had stopped after the first song was over, somewhere around 2:45, I would've liked it better.

For the sake of clarity.. I wish they would STOP calling this United Bowl II.. other than that.. I agree. But just for the record, the League itself hasn't been using that term. They are saying either "United Bowl Championship", "2010 United Bowl", or just "United Bowl" in every article and graphic that I have seen (at least recently for sure). Someone changed the game from last year on Wikipedia to United Bowl I, and I immediately changed it back to United Bowl 2009.

What about the memorial service on Sunday after the game??? Oh wait, is this like one of those funeral party-type thingies?
