I took a glance at the box score from the game. Yeesh.
It'll be a real shame if this is indeed the final game in the Thunder/Steel franchise. I have a sinking feeling it will, but I'm remaining somewhat optimistic that rumors Emmert is resurrecting the Thunder brand for the IFL.
Arizona's dominance is also my gripe with the current state of the AFL. I fail to see how one team's dominance (including the $aberCat$ last year) is good for a league trying to keep its head above water. The same thing is happening in the IFL with Sioux Falls, but at least they're putting in rules to try and balance out talent for more parity.
I give the Steel credit for continuing to fight, even against the Juggernaut known as the Rattlers.
