The RAGE of Owensboro!: Owensboro Rage vs. Kentucky Xtreme 3/9/13

I hope you were at the Next Level this past Saturday night for the first of two games this season between the Owensboro Rage and the Kentucky Xtreme!

The contest was rough for Owensboro but I am certain the crowd still had a good time! The Kentucky Xtreme brought a lot of their fans with them, and I know they had fun. Their team scored a huge win.

Even with my favorite team taking the loss I still had a a good time.

The fans are becoming familiar with each other and with the team. The Rage are very cool about fans mingling with the players on the field after the game is over. There is a very friendly vibe going on at the Next Level.

Also, I see many kids running around and having a lot of fun at the Rage games. With the way the bleachers and playing field are set up, it would be easy for someone to watch the game from the bleachers, and have an eye on their child even if their kid were at the other end of the field.

I know this is going to sound bad, and I almost hate to admit it, but it was fun having the Kentucky Xtreme fans around! It is obvious that the Xtreme fans love their team and they are vocal. They cheered when their guys were announced, and they yelled at the refs when they didn't agree with the calls.

BUT they were pleasant. We were setting next to a group of them and we really enjoyed talking to them. They were good people.

We bumped in to a couple of guys wearing Xtreme shirts after the game. Out of a need to be polite (and seeing our Rage shirts), they said "good game" to us. We thanked them for their kind lie.

Still, I am sure coach Mike was fired up in the locker room after the game. The team has a lot to work on before they play this same team next week- WITHOUT the benefit of home field advantage.

The Owensboro Rage are a very young team, and I am still extremely proud of them, even after this ROUGH loss.

It will be exciting to see how they do on the road this coming Friday in Louisville.
