LMU Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 The Barnstormers, Rattlers, Predators, and Sharks bolted. The Carolina Cobras name was brought back in the NAL and the Spokane Shock identity is being revived in the IFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I’m still bummed nobody ever brought back the San Jose SaberCats.

If they can find an owner willing to lose money hand over fist, The Sabercats will be back.....in the IFL. I would not be at all surprised if the owner of the Oakland Panthers of the IFL (who also owns the San Diego Strike Force and Cedar Rapids River Kings of the IFL) brings them back. It's interesting that the Rattlers head coach is Kevin Guy, who also owns the Tucson Sugar Skulls of the IFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurdBranding Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The SaberCats were definitely a strange team in the Bay Area. They had a cult like following by a small group and it made the games exciting! You didn’t hear about them often, but when they folded it was a little sad. Kind of like when the San Jose Stealth left. (My uncle has a SaberCats shrine that he calls his man cave. It is both awesome and terrifying.) Odd fact: Mark Grieb, SaberCat Legend and arguably top 20 AFL player during its existence, was my chemistry teacher sophomore year of high school. I dressed up as him for Halloween as a joke and he was nice enough to sign my shirt and my uncle’s team helmet that I was borrowing. (He uses the helmet as a center piece for the “man cave” now.)

Wings Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I guess I would say that Tampa Bay, Orlando, Arizona & San Jose are the Mt. Rushmore of the modern era pre-one year hiatus with the Detroit Drive as the kings of the classic era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 To say this is a shock would be a damned lie. That said, I'll always miss those spring and summer nights of real life arcade football on TV. Just because I expected this to happen doesn't make it any less sad.

JackieMoon Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 In the course of it's existence I went to two games (Rockers and Destroyers). It was pretty entertaining to watch live. Amazing the league lasted for 10 years on life support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
