1.Lions (3-0) – Huge win for the Lions as they defeat the defending champs. The game was as close as I expected but I should’ve known than to pick against the Lions when they are at home down south. Much needed break after 5 weeks of solid football.
2.Revolution (1-1) – The Rev hung tight, but didn’t come away with a victory. With back to back road games, the Rev has to bounce back this week as they travel to Laurel, MT.
3.Utah Shock (2-0) – With games against the other 3 of the “Power 4” games looming, they can’t afford to look over the Vipers this weekend. The Vipers are hot off a win and so are the Shock--- who’s hotter?
4.Laurel Loco Express (2-0) – After getting a few games under their belts, I think Laurel now realizes the Northern Conference runs through Laurel. They can really see how they compare to the big boys as they take on the defending champs at home.
5.Brigham Sting (1-1) – Ground and pound—the numbers through the air were dismal, but the ground game is starting to pick up the pace.
6.Gallatin Valley Snow Devils (1-1) – Lost a tough game that came down to a missed field goal. This team has the potential to be great up North, but there seems to be team cohesion problems as they tend to not work together in the crunch time. Their QB has to be great in order for this team to be great.
7.Idaho Mustangs (1-1) – I had the Stangs ranked second to last in my first rankings then picked them to win. They lost and so I figured my hunch was wrong. With a big win over an always short-handed traveling Stealth team, the Stangs make a big leap this week. Will that first game haunt them later?
8.Stealth (1-1) – The Stealth only dropped because of a loss---however I do think the Stealth will be a story of who shows up to the game. Two teams—There is the Traveling Stealth and the Utah Stealth—I have a feeling the Utah Stealth will have 30+ guys while the Traveling Stealth look to just field a team. This isn’t 2013 where 2 wins will get you in—the Stealth need to find the guys who want to show up and win. If not, things could go downhill from here.
9.Great Falls Gladiators (1-1) – Lose a tight one in Laurel, then a bounce back game with signs of offense against the Snowdevils. Their game this week will give me a better idea of how these guys stack up against the other North teams.
10.Magic Valley Bulldawgs (1-1)– It’s a two man show up here in Verwey and Cook--- Those two can carry this team –however their defense is disarray. With the switch to the 3-4, this defense relies on their playmakers to be fast—which may be against some teams, but against the upper tier of the AAA—it’s not going to work. You know the 3-4 isn’t for you when the Cover 1/3 free safety is making the most tackles on the RB. Let’s see if they learned from the 300+ yards they’ve given up on the ground the past two weeks.
11.Vipers (1-1) – Vipers won a tough game against the Anarchy last week—this week they get to take on one of the “Power 4”. I believe that Terry and Rex have made the right adjustments and have realized that the talent they are now facing week in and week out is different than in the past. Could very well “shock” some of this week.
12.Logan Stampede (0-1) – With a week off, the Stampede hopefully have done everything they can to kidnap Mike Jenkins and get him to the game.
13.Idaho Matadors (0-1) – Say it ain’t so?! Tom –running the QB? Someone confirm this! Tom Bennett can manage the game with the best of them---but in order for Tom to be successful – he needs to be able to manage the clock and have his defense get a few stops—Well—I’m going to blame the super duper long travel. Let’s see how this week pans out.
14.Arco/Blackfoot Anarchy (0-2) – I don’t know anything about the Anarchy. I keep saying that—but I do know it’s not the Anarchy of old. If things don’t get turned around quick—Blackfoot is going to be in the AA real soon.
Stay healthy and good luck to everyone this week!
RMFL AA Rankings
1.Uintah Basin Oilers – Nice tune up game, can you travel?
2.Nevada Warriors - Big travel game this week, Outlaws are desperate for a victory, can cement itself as a AA contender this week.
3.Mini Cassia Diggers – Surprise! Steal one at home and could position yourself for a run.
4.Wyoming Outlaws – Maybe you caught the Oilers on a busy work week. But what happened against the Diggers?
The Muddbra's didn't make the cut? I thought for sure they would have been atleast the super fine tiny print at the bottom somewhere. Oh well.. Good Luck to all the others that made the rankings!

Appreciate the love Kyto, but next time I see you in the secondary I am hurdling you... Cooky and I do have a lot of talent around us, they will remain sleepers though until another team finds out the hard way...I do know though that this is the best Bulldawg team ever!! There are guys that have been the core here for a decade, and a solid group of guys that have been here for a few years. Now with the addition of new players like Aaron Sawyer we need to get better, stick together, and do something here!
Thanks for supporting the canned food drive! It did very well I hear!!
Bryce, were you running around in a hoody at the game? I didn't recognize you sir, and am disappointed you didn't say hi...I forgot to get Sam's autograph, but the more times I see Matt Thortnon, I think I want his...man he's a handsome devil!!!
How the hell did you miss me? I was running around the start of the game in my Jersey and Shorts.. Trying to keep myself from losing my mind NOT being able to play this year. I was pacing around like a caged animal hahaha...or cat...yeah probably just a caged kitty!
Sorry man...I had alot on my mind this past game, both football and personal.

You and me both! I was getting ready for your defense...smh I don't like them! Almost as much as I dislike Hoop! I asked him why he's a hater...he said he's a realist...don't you have to be 6' tall to be a realist?? (Hoop I don't dislike you, I haven't ever had a conversation with you, I've been told I'll dislike you then)
Bryce, you're a great teammate and member of the RMFL if you're traveling to fun places like Jerome to not play.
I really want to meet and get to know more of you Utah guys at the stars and stripes. It's not easy to do when I've only played vs the Big 4, 4 times total! Rev in 2009, Shock and Rev last year, Shock this year...Bulldawgs play Friday night vs Vipers, so Saturday I will be doing some serious glad handing and...drinking haha
