BT, even though Sioux City introduced all the players, they always kept a 7:05 kickoff. In that case I dont see why it is over doing it. Omaha never had a kickoff on time because of crazy intros.

Of the 6 championship games Sioux Falls has played in, only one was decided by a double-digit margin (Lexington beat the Storm by 21 in 2004). The average margin of victory for each team in these games has been 8 pts. The average margin of victory for the Storm in each of their 4 championship victories - 4.5 pts.

Two reasons the Storm are going to win:
1) They'll dominate on both sides of the line of scrimmage 2) The Dixon/Riggs factor - Tri Cities lost to Billings 4 times last year and spent the off season taking the steps they thought were necessary to help them beat Dixon this year. What I don't think they realize is that they are not facing a Chris Dixon offense this year. They are facing a Kurtiss Riggs offense. Dixon has said it several times, the biggest difference between this year and last year is that he finally has an OC. Put the best QB with the best offensive mind and scary things can happen (like we've seen this entire year).
My prediction, Storm win by 3 TD's 59-38

Dixon has said it several times, the biggest difference between this year and last year is that he finally has an OC. Dixon has definitely been harboring some ill feelings towards O'Neal, it's come out in many of his comments this season. I wonder what happened at the end of last year to make him feel this way.

Omaha has the longest pregame of any team in the sport for sure. I always liked it though, one big party. My daughter's favorite parts were always the pregame, halftime, and going on the field after the game so I'll never complain about long intros since the kids definitely love them.
