Dallas Move South

Dallas moves to Southern Division in 2009 alignment

NEW YORK -- The Arena Football League has realigned its divisions, placing the two-time (2006-07) Eastern Division Champion Dallas Desperados in the Southern Division. The Desperados spent the previous five seasons in the National Conference’s Eastern Division after spending their first two seasons in the American Conference.

2009 AFL DIVISIONAL ALIGNMENT

AMERICAN CONFERENCE

WESTERN
Arizona Rattlers
LA Avengers
San Jose SaberCats
Utah Blaze

CENTRAL
Chicago Rush
Colorado Crush
Grand Rapids Rampage
Kansas City Brigade

NATIONAL CONFERENCE

EASTERN
Cleveland Gladiators
Columbus Destroyers
New York Dragons
Philadelphia Soul

SOUTHERN
Dallas Desperados
Georgia Force
Orlando Predators
Tampa Bay Storm

It's a shame to see one of the Soul's rivals move out of the division, but it made the most sense geographically after the New Orleans Voodoo left the league. Hopefully we'll still have at least one game a year playing them. It's always a blast when these two teams meet.

What's This Crrrap All About?

Up until, as it turned out, a few months before Dan Rather was publicly pantsed for trying to, once again, influence the outcome of a national election, I didn't even know that the heck a 'blog' was. Since then, I've been wandering around the blogosphere. I've been inspired by what I've come across (for the most part) and thought I'd give it a shot but what should blog about? I mean, it seems like most blogs tend to break down into two groups. The "I did this, I did that" model and the "So-n-so sucks" model. And who the heck needs another one of those?

One of my favorite blogs belongs to Kim du Toit. Sure, he has plently of the two-model-type stuff I mentioned but he breaks it up with other bits as well. Very informative bits. So, I got to wondering about the 'other bits' I'd post.

That's when the title hit me. "Crrrap" is the battlecry, so to speak, of a fictional character of mine named coincidently (or not) Ohms. A reluctant hero who doesn't look for the situations he finds himself in, but once in one, he's definately going to deal with it. More often than not, with the use of a gizmo of some sort.

I've come across my share of 'gizmos' in my brief time upon this big blue marble so I'll be breaking things up by passing them along to my readers... you know, once I get some.

Hopefully no one will ever have a need for these bits, but if you do, you'll be glad you stopped by.

Crrrap!
