2008 Season Review

Fairbanks was excited over the fact of a professional football team playing for the city, but the excitement has died down due to criticism about the quality of the players and the initial coach that was chosen for the team. The players seem to have no clue on how to play football and has been commented as almost comical. However, the team hired John Fourcade to coach the team, and he made a big impact, helping them upset the Odessa Roughnecks and eventually get three wins and many close losses. Quarterback Bo Bartik also came in to help in an interesting turn in his playing career, which includes starting for the Rome Renegades and Daytona Beach Thunder.
