Nashville Storm @ Owensboro Rage - Fri. 2/1
It should be a much better game as the Storm owner points out from the CIFL message board
The game should be on the radio again: www.owensbororadio.com/pages/14818118.php

Hopefully I can answer a few questions here------- some of my reply is to this post and some to other posts in this topic (I'm the Owner/President of the Nashville Storm).
Rage fans can expect a competitive game this Friday night, although the Storm will be an underdog by the simple fact that we're playing the other guy's game by the other guy's rules. The Rage are accustomed to the indoor style of football while 2/3 of the Storm players are not (probably 1/3 of our roster are guys that have played for professional Arena teams before).
You're correct that we're in what is normally our offseason, but we've been conducting practices for this game throughout January at D1 in Franklin, TN. We'll bring a full 30-man roster, and most of our team are former college football players with similar playing resumes to the players on the Rage. In fact, one Rage starting LB (Blake Harris) played for the Storm for 3 years, and there were 2 former Storm players on last year's Rage team (Harris and RB Joe Casey, who was the 2nd leading rusher on the 2010 National Champion Storm team). We take what we do very seriously and are pleased to get the chance to show a different kind of football audience what Nashville Storm Football (and the tier of Adult Amateur football that we represent, which is a different tier from the Cincinnati Bulldogs) is about.
