I guess I just don't understand the reasoning for running up the score.
Sioux Falls is very good and will probably win the championship. We all get that. At some point, other teams will get tired of the running up of the score and over paying players. Heck, I guarantee one reason Bob Scott and SC left the IFL is because of Sioux Falls.
Look at a team like Wichita. Off to an 0-2 start. If the Wild get dominated by 50 or 60 points next week, crowds will decrease significantly for the rest of the season. Same thing could happen in other city's that SF travels to this season.
What would stop Omaha, SC, Nebraska, Wichita, Bloomington, Chicago, La Crosse, and other midwest teams from forming their own league without Sioux Falls? Leave SF in the IFL where their closest opponent would be on the east and west coast. Seems like a plan like this would be smart and easy to pull off for the midwest teams. Create a league like the UIF with 8 to 10 teams and leave SF out.
Seems kind of ironic that SF's dominance could spell a revolt in the IFL and leave them out in the cold.

They took a knee at the end, so they didn't really run it up.
I agree that the Storm being this dominant, an all-star team, is bad for the league...I've said it many times.
Some teams are trying to keep up with the Storm by paying hired guns under the table, but just look at the Storm/Outlaw team...no one can touch that talent.
I don't see a revolt coming, but I can see teams making a big stink in the off-season at league meetings

I guess I just don't understand the reasoning for running up the score. . The Storm can only do so much to not run up the score in this game. Dixon didn't play the last 13 min of the 4th quarter and the backup QB didn't throw a single pass. All runs and they still scored (along with a defensive TD). You can't really ask a team to start taking a knee on every snap for the last 10 min. That's not what the fans paid to see. As it was, the Storm fans were upset when Riggs called for the knee 1st and goal at the 3 with 90 secs remaining.

Didn't watch, what was it? Some guy, looked like Colonel Sanders, using bullwhips to pop balloons that were attached to his girlfriend's waist. Oh and she was dressed like Amelia Earhart. It was bizarre (and lame). The crowd just sat there in dumbfounded silence.
