Osceola Football Season Thread

[TheBetterOutlaws]

hey everyonelse has one why not us??? lol...well this week is Charleston hopefully it wont be another Fayetville

[Mike4FireAntz34]

So your team has no name just Football?...wow strange lol

[#1 Guard Fan]

I think football is their name...lol

[nksports]

What's the mascot look like?

[Mike4FireAntz34]

What's the mascot look like?


Do they even have one? LMAO!!!

[#1 Guard Fan]

I saw this football at Wal-Mart I wonder if thats the mascot

[TheBetterOutlaws]

and to think i got a little excited when i saw this thread had some new post since i first checked lol...well we may not have a mascot but we got a good team

[outlaw1]

No need to waste time on people like this. If the two Fayetteville guys spent half the time looking at web sites as they did "CHATTING" on line, I'm sure they would know the story.On the Osceola web site there are multiple pictures of the mascot. Ask Billings and the league why we are not the Outlaws. Anyway, judging by the LOL and the email terminology, I'm sure their Friday nights are full of myspace and WWW.%$#@* girls.com. See you in Fayetteville next week. Both teams look good. This should be a great game.
PS Fireants......go Seals. 2nd place in first year. Ants squashed.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

think there giong to be around a 2nd year??? is attendancedoing good enough???

[ronaldoswalt]

i wasn't sure about the copperheads name when it came out but now i love it compared to football --- i think i saw their mascot in my garage when i was drinking beer tonight --- go football --- how original

[TheBetterOutlaws]

osceola wins!!! this win should help them on that ratings...charleston was a pretty respecatble team. any news on attendance?

[jimbo32712]

who needs a name, we have a great team...a good arena, great dance team, a mascot, owners who actually pay their bills, great gear, great uniforms, great game day production, great playing surface... This team is 1st class all the way....A rare thing in the NIFL...So who gives a crap about the name.

[jimbo32712]

name or no name at least our team doesnt suck. Makes it fun its like not getting the license number of the truck that hit you....We'll beat the stuffing out of your team...But you wont know the name of the team who did it.

[nksports]

They could come onto the field to America's "Horse with No Name." They could put on the uniforms and helmets "Your name here. 555-xxxxx"

They could auction the naming rights on e-bay. Maybe someone like the Red Bull people could buy them like they did with the MLS MetroStars. Who knows, maybe Hooters would like to get back into indoor football? The possibilities are endless.

[outlaw1]

I imagine with the team you have and how bad they are, you might be in the garage drinking alot of beer, Mr. Copperhead fan.

When new ownership got ahold of the Kissimmee team back in November, they christened it the Osceola Outlaws, not knowing that Billings had trademarked the Outlaws name already. Billings pitched a fit, Osceola tried to settle, and then Billings stopped talking about it completely.

Why bother? Who cares? There's 2 Roughriders in the Canadian Football League. Billings and Osceola wouldn't even play this year unless both teams reached the Indoor Bowl. And if they did, that would be perfect .... The Play For the Name Game!

Expect to see Osceola debut a new name by the end of the month ... because after all, it's just another beautiful day here in the NIFL ...

They could have a name game at the end of the season, sort of like 1960s or 70s roller derby (or pro wrestling). The winner gets to keep the name and the loser "must leave town forever and that's a long, long time." (but it's funny how they always found a way to come back to town.)

[jimbo32712]

Hey if you all have myspace you can find a page for The team on there. At www.myspace.com/osceolafootball from there you will find a page for the Lady Deputies as well if you want to check it out!

[jimbo32712]

Go take a look see...We show this at the game now during the intro..Actually I will be remaking it with some live footage this week.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

anyways....so about osceolas record is it 4-1 or 3-1??? they say 4-1 everyone else says 3-1???

[Minor League Man]

NIFL website says "Billings Football"
AND "Osceola Football."

There are no Outlaws on the NIFL site!

www.billingsoutlaws.com

[Minor League Man]

I know, but it doesn't say that on the NIFL site.

[preeths]

We had a Dan Austin of the Billings Outlaws on Under the Roof April 6 (episode still posted at http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/oscradio/oscradio.php?showid=1) back to talk about the situation. They are the Outlaws, though the league refuses to recognize it for the time being. It may not be too long before it's all sorted out.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

thanks for putting that radio interview up there...hmmm doesnt sound like the billings guy knows too much though

[rams80]

I know, but it doesn't say that on the NIFL site.

They also say that Southwest Louisiana and San Angelo are part of the league and that Lincoln, Hammond, and Charlotte are alive and well on said site. Lesson learned-Niffle site may not be the best source of your most up to date information as pertains to the league.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

with these teams firing players and the bouncing checks...not having a mascot doesnt seem to bad anymore:D

[thorgsd]

Do ya think? anyone who was around last year can't help but feel for those guys who are waiting to be paid and are getting the usual bla bla bla! But hey, Osceola has a mascot! He's at every game, entertaining the fans. The team just doean't have an "Official" name. But I still think of them as the "Outlaws". When we play the Billings team, we'll worry about it. If we don't ever play them, then no big shakes.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

haha i guess your right about the mascot...i should of said team name..but 72-12 win...not much you can say about it because of the team they played but a win is a win...go outlaws

[TheBetterOutlaws]

cant beileve lost to west palm...they better get it together before those final 2 games against lakeland

[outlaw1]

Still stunned!!!!

I have an idea for what I'm going to vocalize when they play the Lone Ranger music:

Get a name
Get a name
Get a name name name
Get a name
Get a name
Get a name name name
Get a name
Get a name
Get a name name name
Get a name
GET A FRIGGIN' NAME!

spent the dough

said 2 bad 4 u!

Theory is, no new name until Sylvia Browne (world renown psychic) advises them that no new teams are going to pop up after the fact and claim that the name is theirs.

Next verse for Minor League Man

Hmmm!! How many times do we have to repeat ourselves, and how long ago did this happen? I think you might want to set your flex capaciter to May2006 there Dr. Brown. Old story. We are Osceola, were the Outlaws, and that's the end of that.

I thought we told you to stop taking the Niffle website and Niffle press releases as gospel.

[Minor League Man]

It says on the website, "Osceola Football."

www.osceolafootball.com

Which team's called,
Which team's called,
The Outlaws,
Billings guys,
Though the Niffle,
Doesn't recognize,
But Osceola,
Is just,
Osceola Football,
They will play for the name
In the INDOOR BOWL!

[OutlawsFan]

Been a spectator, time to be a player. The Billings Outlaws have been around since at least 2002. It's too bad the whole name thing got screwed up to begin with. For some reason unknown to most of us in Billings, we became the Mavericks last season only (although we still called the team the Outlaws). We were very happy to see our name return with a great team again. Best of luck Osceola, may we meet in the name bowl (A.K.A. Indoor Bowl VI).

[OriginalOutlaw]

Nice piece of history, OutlawFan, you've inspired me to toss in my 2 cents worth. Let me add to the history. Last year, Osceola Football was Kissimmee Kreatures and had a very forgettable season. I can see why they'd change the name. The Outlaws trademark does, in fact, belong to Billings and we will retain that right. Thorgsd was right, it sucks having a new team like Osceola popping up trying to take our name... P.S. As for the "Better Outlaws", we lost one game - a highly disputed 3-point loss on the road to last years champs. Osceola has yet to beat a winning team (they've only even PLAYED one, and lost to them twice). They couldn't even beat Palm Beach at home...

[outlaw1]

Hmmmm. Shouldn't your name be the team formerly known as the Cavs? Looks like your entire roster is Wyoming from last year. Keep in mind one little fact. Florida football is much more intense than that of the midwest. So even the "" bad teams are good. Hence FSU, UF, Miami, UCF, USF, not to mention our Southern sister states w/ UGA, BAMA, Auburn, GT, UNC, USC. Who makes up your team? Mountain West colleges? Playoffs are right around the corner. We'll see you there.

[OriginalOutlaw]

Um, playing only 2 teams the entire year which presently have a winning record is nothing to brag about - especially if you lose all of those games. A major powerhouse in the Atlantic Conference (where I hear they play really intense football) is the RiverCity Rage. Actually, RiverCity is a very good team, but Osceola won't get the opportunity to lose to them like they will the other Atlantic Division leaders. Funny how the Rage are ranked higher than Osceola (Massey Rating) and RiverCity has lost only one game all year - at home - to the Billings Outlaws. P.S. - Your trash is weak.

[OutlawsFan]

outlaw1: We're talking pro/semi-pro football, right? Where players change teams more often than Floridians change their underwear. There are former players from Billings playing in Rapid City, Tri-Cities, and Wyoming. It's the nature of the business. There are 2.5 times as many people in Dade county alone than all of Montana so Florida football had better be intense. We love our football just as much here, "Mountain West" folks just aren't afraid of the snow. How is it you guys have six wins? Were two by forfeit? Wasn't one against the team that just beat you at home? Us Westerners are curious Kreatures (wait, isn't that name already taken???) Lucky to have a winning record, huh? Good luck with the playoff push. I would love to see you knock off Lakeland.

[outlaw1]

We hope to see the other Outlaws in the playoffs as well. Sorry, but right now, Osceola has a bitter taste from the game vs. WP. That was just a reaction type post from a bitter fan. (me) Sorry about that. If the d-line gets healthy and returns, I think Osceola will get back on track. This weekend will be a real test. I'm gone until I have something to be happy about. Go Osceola.

[ronaldoswalt]

whats happening to the outlaws they seemed to be so strong

[outlaw1]

To be honest, I do not want to start making excuses for fear that the WP owner may come back and curse the world again. However, Osceola was puting a thorough whooping on them until the wheels fell off. 5 turnovers in one half. All but one were in the red zone. Also, several key injuries are hampering the D from what I hear. But I hear most will return for this week in Miami. They are still the same Osceola. Major wake up call. It happens.

[Minor League Man]

Come on, Osceola has been through a lot this year, all because of other teams (Billings, Charlotte, Palm Beach, Montgomery, Dayton, and Jacksonville to name a few). Yet they've managed to pull a winning effort, so give them respect.

Here's my Indoor Bowl prediction:

Billings 51
Osceola 48

2007:
Billings Outlaws
Osceola Posse

[TheBetterOutlaws]

Anyone excited about the 2 upcoming games in Lakeland....what do you think the attendance will be for that first game in Osceola...maybe 3,500. dont think they have hit 3,000 there yet. have they?

[jimbo32712]

We had around 3000 for the last 2 home games...Our attendance is better than most teams in the league. The game vs Lakeland will be a good size. They are promoting the heck out of it and Lakeland is only about 30-40 mins from Osceola so Im sure alot of their fans will make the trip as our fans will make the trip to Lakeland on the 24th.

[GTDREW]

The Osceola team I saw in F'vile seemed pretty good and I will be pulling for them to make it in the playoffs. A rumor up here is that the Guard just wants a rematch for sure with Lakeland and of couse the Indoor Title. I talked to some players and they said you guys were better. Good luck and I hope to see you come back here to play. Drew.

[jimbo32712]

Osceola seems to play up or down to the level of the competition. They knew Fayetteville woould be a big test for them and played well and had a chance to win both games. Then playing teams like Florida and Palm Beach they seemed to have more of a sense that all they had to do was show up and they would win. Maybe it comes from all the forfeits (palm beach, Dayton,) and the replacement Montgomery team. Its hard to get up for a real game when you havent played many of them.

[TheBetterOutlaws]

no home playoff game...even if they get one. that sucks

[jimbo32712]

What do you mean? Why wouldnt they have a home playoff game?

[outlaw1]

They play at an arena that belongs the county and the Silve Spurs Rodeo. There is a rodeo type event all week. Thousands of pounds of dirt and clay go in, football goes out. That's it. Could not predict the future, but when you " " put a championship caliber team together, this may have been a bit overlooked. Go Osceola. At least what is left.
