Playoff Games for 1-28-2012

The Utah Indoor Football League's 13TH Season / 2012 Playoffs!!

Saturday Jan. 28th 2012

at the U of U Spense Eccles Field House

 

 Idaho Oilers vs Bountiful Braves

7:15 PM

 

Stealth vs Mudd Ducks

8:30 PM

 

Playoff game results by the UIFL news reporter:

Bountiful Braves 37 Idaho Oilers 18

Stealth 37 Mudd Ducks 21

 

Both playoff games were really great to watch at the U of U Spence Eccles field house, the only premiere first class Indoor Football facility in the state was packed with loyal family and friends who appreciated the only real quality Utah State Semi-Pro Indoor Football League and its players!

All our fans this night of playoffs got to watch two super competitive Indoor football games! The Idaho Oilers with the second best record in the regular season were ahead of the Bountiful Braves 18 to 15 at halftime and it looked liked we were going to see much of the same for the second half. The Idaho Oilers were also considered by many a sure bet to be in the UIFL 13th season Championship game. However, the Braves seemed to step it up to another level that the Idaho Oilers were not prepared for that night and the Braves closed the game out with a 37 to 18 win over the Oilers to advance for the first time into the UIFL Indoor War Championship Game!

Our second game was with the two time UIFL Champions the Utah Stealth vs the Mudd Ducks. The Mudd Ducks are a first year UIFL team who made it into the playoffs their first year in the UIFL, which is very rare in the 13 year history of the league. This game was a battle right from the start! Both teams traded touchdowns right down to the fourth quarter. I think the experience of team owner, head coach, and starting QB Jeff Wissler along with so many veteran  Stealth UIFL players closed it out on the young Mudd Ducks very talented team.  Final Score Utah Stealth 37 Mudd Ducks 21!

Congratulations to all four of our very talented UIFL teams for making it into these great UIFL playoff games and I believe any one of these teams could beat any other Championship team from any other indoor league in the state!

The Stealth Win The UIFL 11th Season 2010 Indoor War Championship Game!

The Stealth beat the Utah Bears in a hard fought UIFL Championship game to claim the 2010 11th season UIFL Championship!  Stealth 48 Bears 35!

Stats for the Utah Stealth
 
Passing
Jeff Wissler - 3 TD's

Rushing
Michael laloni - 1 Rushing TD
Levi Vagana - 1 Rushing TD

Receiving
Major Smith - 2 Receiving TD's
Joe Mapson - 1 Receiving TD

Kicking
Scott thompson - 5 xpts - 3 Fg's and 4 - 1pt kick offs

The Utah Stealth offense came out ready to play and jumped up by 2 quick Td's and then the Bears came back making it a hard fought game. The most the Stealth defense have given up in a game this year is 6 points. So the Utah Stealth really were able to see how they would react as the Utah Bears were able to score more points then the Stealth were used to. At times it was very close, but the Stealth defense did what they have done all year and forced turnovers - 1 interception and 2 or 3 fumble recovery's which gave the offense the oportunity to close the door on the Bears Championship dream. It was a great game!

Special cudos go out to one of the greatest UIFL coaches Vince Tauanuu who showed up on the Utah Stealth sideline to cheer on some of his former Utah Sting championship players!

Now Jeff Wissler and his Utah Stealth are challenging any and all teams to dare to take away their expected 2011 Championship this Feb.

Wissler's Saints Defeat Scorpions 56 to 36

The Wissler's Saints a first year team in the UIFL made up of various senior players from past years teams in the UIFL and a few ex-Utah Saints from the AIFA, a professional indoor minor league, defeated the 5 time UIFL Northern Conference Champions the Scorpions 56 to 36 at the Kaysville Sports Complex.

It was a hard fought battle between both teams through the third quarter and seemed like either team would take the championship until the Saints put it out of reach with some superior passing skills of veteren QB Jeff Wissler (ex-QB of the AIFA Utah Saints 2008 team).

Team owner and QB Terrence Smothers of the Scorpions had a good night, but you could see that an injury earlier in the season came back to haunt him in this game.

"UIFL Free Agent Player Rights".
It looks like we will have 16 or more teams this year in the UIFL. With all the teams recruiting players for their team, there has been a very important question that has come up. What free agent rights does a player have and what player ownership rights does a team owner have.

I must say this first, in the intermountain area team owners must remember that a lot of the football players play year around in various leagues with each other,ie. UIFL,semi-pro outdoor football and various flag football teams. These players build relationships with each other and that may lead a player to a certain team in a certain league. However, some players play on different teams in all three leagues and play against each other. Therefore that is why the UIFL has this rule for free agent players.

The UIFL league rule on player's right's states: That if a player signs his registration form for that year/season with his team name on the form, the player is bound to that team for that season. If a player wants to play for another team that same season he has to get the team owner's approval to be released. If the owner won't release the player, the player will have to sit out the season until next season when the player will become a free agent and can sign with whatever team he chooses.

Vince Lombardi Speech: "WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NO. 1"
Vince Lombardi Speech

This is considered as one of the greatest football speeches of all time.
(Not a copyrighted speech)

WHAT IT TAKES TO BE NO. 1
by Vince Lombardi

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing.
You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place.I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again.There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers.It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win. Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up-from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play.Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization, an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win. To beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there. To compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules-but to win. And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline.There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.I don't say these things because I believe in the "brute" nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

Sting 2006 Championship #1
Sting win the 2006 UIFL Championship
Sunday, February 26
The Utah Sting won their 5th UIFL Championship in 7 years!
We had a good crowd on hand last Saturday night at the Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah to witness Minor League Indoor/Arena football history, as the Utah Sting clinched it's 5th Utah Indoor Football League Championship in seven years. The Utah Sting defeated the Scorpions 38 to 21 in an official Indoor/Arena football game.

The Utah Sting were coached once again by head coach Vince Tauanuu who had just learned prior to the opening ceremonies of the Championship game that he was just inducted into the Minor League Football Hall of Fame class of 2006. Vince was very humbled with the Honor and I was humbled by learning his Win loss ratio after this UIFL Championship game win was 109 wins 14 losses in seven years of coaching.

Coach Tauanuu will receive his Hall of Fame award on December 7th 2006 at the annual Minor League Hall of Fame awards banquet in Mesquite, Nevada at the Oasis Resort/Casino. As a player back in the mid 90's Vince hails from the great football coach Ron McBride of the University of Utah. Vince is currently an assistant coach at Southern Utah University.

This year's Championship game rosters were filled with many Utah college football stand outs. To name just a few, we had Sim Tia Tia and Jeff Johnson from BYU, Tia Lepule from the University of Utah, all three players suited up for the Utah Sting. The Scorpions countered back with Josh Christensen of Weber State and Colby Cook of Utah State. If you loved Utah college football and Arena football this was the game to see.

It was a great offensive free scoring game as most Indoor/Arena football games are for three quarters, with three touchdowns scored by UIFL last year's Championship MVP, Orlando Poloa of the Sting, followed by power rushing touchdowns from Sim Tia Tia and Tai Lepule. The Scorpions fought back with two touchdowns from UIFL two time MVP Josh Christensen and another from Colby Cook. However the game was slowed down considerably by outstanding defensive efforts of Suka Ahio (LB) for the Utah Sting with 10.5 tackles for the night.

Suka Ahio is a senior football player who once played for the Pro Arena Football League back when it first began in the 80's. Suka seemed to be everywhere the Scorpions wanted to place the ball on the field, as if Suka was fighting in his last gladiator appearance. In one of his furious tackles to the dasherboards, I had a chance to look into his eyes and what I saw would scare a normal guy half to death. That is how the Championship MVP board saw it as well and awarded this year's Championship game MVP to Suka Ahio for his outstanding defensive efforts.

After the game, league owner Michael Curran said that he had been in contact with Blaze public relations director Tom Goodhines and there was a good chance that next year's UIFL Championship game might be played as an opening act for one of the Utah Blaze's home games at the Delta Center. What a double header that would be for Utah football fans. Keep up to date with all the UIFL news at www.eteamz.com/uifl
