[quote=""trifecta""]Great Story.
Congrats on the Press. No hidden meaning in my compliment so quit looking.[/quote]
Thanks.
Don't forget to watch via the net and root for us, we are the underdogs and need a couple of balls to bounce our way.
No matter what happens I plan on having a great time and it''ll be an experience to remember.
I've been bugging the Statesman all season to give us some exposure, it is nice but too bad they waited until the end of the season to notice a team was in town.

Thanks So Much To Our Fans
July 29, 2009 by Ronald Oswalt
Fans and friends,
Thanks to all Turfcats for a successful inaugural season in the Southern Indoor Football League. We could not have been successful without the work of our staff and especially our fans. We may have fell in the Presidents Cup but overall I am very happy with our product on and off the field in year one. And I have to say, as an Austin Turfcat it was so good to see so many green and gold-wearing Central Texans in Lake Charles on Monday night.
I am honored to be in the presence of the indoor football community, and to see faces, young and old, who love this great team.
The Austin Turfcats has been building a proud football tradition this year. In victory and defeat, the young men who have suited up and hit the gridiron for the Turfcats have always been a determined bunch that have brought great credit to this great sport.
Congratulations to all Turfcats, players and fans, on completing our mission of bringing back successful indoor football to Austin and Central Texas. This is not a one man or one player or one coach mission it has been a true team effort from the front office, ownership group, players, cheerleaders, fans and many others. All have sacrificed for this season from my family and yours throughout this journey.
I am attending league meetings now at Coushatta Casino and Resort in Kinder, Louisiana. I look forward to my return to the lone star state and making 2010 even a better season and fan experience. Please take time to tell others about us and let's grow this franchise together.
Thanks and Go Turfcats,
Ronald Oswalt

Austin received the following other awards:
1. Best Team whose name starts with the letters AUS
2. Best Team with Green Uniforms
3. Best Team playing in a Rodeo Barn
4. Best Team in Central Texas
At some point this is getting weird.....There are FIVE teams and the awards outnumber the participants.
The Kindergarten youth soccer team called and they think that too many people in the SIFL are getting post season trophies.

I agree with you here, it is getting weird that spend so much time attacking something you refuse to participate in and seem dislike. most people spend their time on hobbies they enjoy.

Your wit is getting old and about as sharp as a marble.
It's funny how much crying there was over the Player of the Week balloting and how much it meant to the fans and the players. Yet real awards voted on by people in the business are worthless jokes.
You are correct, the, the K-soccer league called and asked you to please not follow them this season. Me thinks you're getting too worked up over it.

You know it !
I've been fan of the year in 3 different leagues, what have you been besides a hater? I support the sport while you put it down. You seem ignorant to think your favorite league isn't a niche sport hated by the masses. You seem to think your af2 is without problems. didn't they have 2 teams that would have folded this season if the league would'nt have stepped in and took them over? aren't there some rumors flying about several teams investigating the possibility of leaving to merge with some other exisitng teams in the sport to form their own leage?
You people crack me up. name any league you like and we can make a list of bumps in the road, failures, or whatever. None of the leagues are "premier" and without bush league tactics. Go ahead and keep lying to yourself if it makes you feel better - lol

You heard wrong, The North Texas Crunch and the Bayou Bulls did not receive any participation awards. they did however receive enormous gratitude and a slice of the football scene a step up the ladder. They receive exposure for their teams and players, after all that's what the semi-pro leagues are all about. Teaching the players, keeping them in game shape, and helping them get a shot to play in a higher league. it was a win - win situation for all involved.
I realize the big picture escapes you and it's supposed to be about you, not the players. You probably even think your precious league has never signed players from semi-pro leagues. Quit working so hard to be an a$$, it's working too well.
