Gary Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Columbus who was 7-9 this season has already upset Tampa Bay, Dallas who was 15-1 and now Georgia who were 14-2, so now they are headed to the Arena Bowl XXI who they will face either Chicago or San Jose both former champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 The Rush stop the SabreCats after D'Orazio gave up an opening drive interception. That was a big cheap shot when the SabreCats player blocked D'Orazio after the pick. He was just looking to see what happened and got nailed, luckily he didn't get hurt, he's already nursing a bad back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac the Knife Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (1) It'll be San Jose.(2) Not that Columbus doesn't make a great story (it does), but I think pro sports leagues need to implement a rule requiring its teams to be at least .500 in the regular season to qualify for the playoffs. Having a 7-9 season, frankly, shouldn't qualify you for anything.(3) (1) and (2) above being said, I'll nonetheless be rooting for the Destroyers. San Jose has had its AFL titles, and Columbus is a city worthy of having its first pro championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 San Jose has had its AFL titles, and Columbus is a city worthy of having its first pro championship..... or at least it will make up for the Ohio State losses to Florida in football and basketball in a small way I saw, I came, I left.

Having a 7-9 season, frankly, shouldn't qualify you for anything.That's what happens when you let 12 out of 19 teams into the playoffs.I'm less opposed to tightening up the playoffs, though, because there is a school of thought that says its good for lesser leagues that are gate driven to have more playoff spots to keep the fans interested and coming to games.I too will be rooting for Columbus, because they have good, loyal fans (insane...but still good fans.)

TBGKon Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Looks like Arena Bowl XXI has been decided. It will pit the National Conference Champions, the Columbus Destroyers and the American Conference Champions, the San Jose Sabercats.As a Tampa Bay Storm fan, I have to give the Destroyers credit for taking down the top 3 teams in their conference, so I will be rooting for Columbus.

Billy B Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Go Destroyers! They are a great story, just like the Rush last year. I'll be cheering for Columbus to take down the team that beat the Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB61 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 And for those who may forget / not remember, the Rush won the ArenaBowl last year after finishing the season -- you guessed it -- at 7-9.I like Chicago, but it'll be a helluva game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkJourney Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Not surprised everyone is rooting against a west coast team. Go SaberCats. Destroy the Destroyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick 1733 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Well, both my teams are gone...The Destroyers beat my #2 team (Georgia) and the Sabercats beat my #1 team (Crush) so by default, I'm rooting for the Destroyers... also I'm rooting for them because they're the big underdog.

FiddySicks Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Hell yeah, Cats in another final. I went to my first Arena game this season when the SabreCats played the Utah Blaze at the Tank. So to all you haters out there, GO SABRECATS!!!!! Bummer it isn't vs Tampa Bay though. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

See Red Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Cheering for the underdog here. Other than the Sabercats logo, I don't dislike anything about either team... nor do I like either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'm going for San Jose. Nothing against Columbus, who has done a far more impressive run then Chicago a year ago (The Rush were a five seed in the National Conference while the Destroyers barely squeaked in as a six seed), but the Sabrecats are the far better team in this game.Either way, New Orleans faithful are going to enjoy this ride.

kewp80 Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I just can't root for the team who beat my beloved Rush, so Go Destroyers, plus I like rooting for the underdog. Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
