Always in support of local sports teams, I recently learned that one of my friends is the offensive line coach for the Iowa Threshers football team. The Threshers are a semi-professional team playing in the North American Football League.The following comes from the team website:
The Threshers are playing tomorrow night at 7:00 pm at Valley Stadium. The gates open at 6:00 pm. I do not have ticket price information. Come out and support your local semi-professional football team under the Friday Night Lights!The 2010 Iowa Threshers will be led by quarterbacks, Terrell James and Da'Marco Jackson both 2 year semi-professional veterans in the North American Football League (NAFL). Both quarterbacks will look to former Iowa State receiver, Milan Moses to be on the end of a number of passes while providing leadership to the offensive unit. Also returning 2 year veteran semi-pro wide receiver, Chris Schippers and rookie sensation, Brandon Brown will be on the other end off passes thrown by James and Jackson. Brown is a predicted to lead the conference in reception yards for the 2010 season. Accompanying Schippers and Brown are, rookie Hemie Collie playing dual roles as wide-receiver/defensive back and Shawn Lents, a 2 year veteran receiver from the Iowa Lightning and Florida native Herman McRae who will balance the receiver threat as the team captain for the offense.
On the opposite side of the ball the "darkside defense" aka as PAIN Inc. of the Iowa Threshers will be led by veteran semi-pro line-backer/defensive captain, Rob Vandermolen and semi-pro veteran defensive lineman, Brooks Barney, of the University of Northern Iowa. Brooks will be joined by Terrence Manning, Iowa Central, a 4 year veteran defensive back and Alex Smith, a 2 year veteran defensive end of the Iowa Lightning defense. The Iowa Thresher defense is looking forward to reaping havoc at Valley Stadium renamed the "Terror Dome" and the home field for the Iowa Threshers.
