Spokane Shock Weekly Update

Just wanted to cheer everyone up with that photo.

With the preseason game still a couple weeks away, the majority of posts for the Spokane Shock have been about two of their teams named to the af2 all-time list. The 2006 and 2008 squads, both teams made it to the championship game with the latter losing it in a heartbreaker.

The 2006 squad which won the Arena Cup was named No. 3 all time while the 2008 team was named No. 9. Now I don't want to ruffle any feathers here but after watching both teams first hand I've got to say that I think the No. 9 team probably had more talent.

Obviously you can't rank them higher because they didn't win an Arena Cup (@#%^$* two point conversions), but if you look at last years roster, whoo boy.

And guess what, most of them are coming back for next year. Except for Roshawn Marshall, who will be going to the rival Boise Burn. That's a shame because I'm really going to miss that guy's beard. It was epic.

The Shock also picked up a quarterback that is sure to lead them to a championship because he shares the same first name with Casey and the same last name as me. That's right, say hello to the official quarterback of Just South of North, Casey Hansen.
