I am sure the coach meant to say an illegal defense. There is no such thing as an illegal offense. If there were too many men in motion, it would be illegal motion, etc. There are calls for "illegal defense" and I am sure that is what he was talking about since Evansville had the ball at t...

I didn't see anything in the newspaper or on the Rage web site regarding the outcome of last nights exhibition game for the Rage. I am sure that the Rage totally dominated their semi-pro opposition and their were a lot of tickets sold for an exhibition game. but I just wanted to hear how things went.

It may have raised the awareness of the team through more contact and word of mouth, but it did not translate into any sales windfalls.
