For the 10,000 fans who attended Saturday nights’ game, the 63-43 win over rivals Arizona Rattlers was hardly the highlight of the evening.
The opening ceremony featured fireworks, an armored car, cheerleaders, and the Championship
Cup and banner otherwise known as the holy grail of Arena Football.
Even as the team was leading 27-7 at the half, it was clear to everyone that the
climax was the opening ceremony preceding the game.
This was the 15th consecutive home win for the SaberCats.
Next week’s game against the Dallas Desperados will be a tough one.
Hopefully for fans and players the outcome will be a 16th home win.

Saturday’s game was no disappointment for fans who watched as the SaberCats put on an amazing production filled with fireworks, armored cars and the Arena Bowl Championship Cup and Banner.
Arena Football is more like a rock concert than a sporting event, and with the stunning opening production and a 63-43 win over rivals the Arizona Rattlers, Saturday’s game did not disappoint.
Eleven-year veteran Quarterback Mark Greib said, “Before the game the crowd was just great. They cheered when the trophy came out and the banner came down. It was fun for them.”
That seemed to be the highlight of the entire game, even as the SaberCats went into halftime with a 27-7 lead over their nemesis.
Coach Darren Arbet said. "We've just got to get better every week." and they have Saturday’s home opener set a franchise record with its 15th consecutive regular-season home victory, dating to 2006.
For many of the 10,000 fans in attendance Saturday night, this game was more like a repeat game of last season and the energy levels were starting to drop by the second half.
A lot of the energy at the end of the game was more thwarted towards former defensive coordinator Kevin Guy, who left after last season to become the Rattlers' head coach.
At first, we wanted to let him know this was the best team and the best organization he will ever be a part of," said SaberCats defensive back Clevan Thomas, who had an interception and recovered a fumble. "Then we just wanted to play our game."
Hopefully this seasons home opener will be a forcast for a great rest of the season

Men. You can’t live with them and science is getting very close to living with out them. It’s true men are somewhat obsolete beings. They nag you and bug you, leave the seat up, drink milk from the carton, burp, fart and everything else that irritates women, they do. Trouble is, they just don’t get it.
No matter how many times you say “please take the trash out” or “honey, please fix the sink” that turns into four long hours of a Madden ’08 or World of War Craft session with online “friends”.
Men have this way of finding everything that irritates women and they do it. And when you want them to be on your side about a situation that you know they’ll love, they decide to play devils advocate and go the complete opposite direction. And what is with this ‘anything can’t be fixed with a kiss’ nonsense? No it can not, if I fall in the toilet because the seat was left up the last thing I want is a kiss to make up for the fact that my butt is soaking with toilet water.
What is happening with men nowadays? They are so sensitive and so needy and can clearly not do anything for themselves. What happened to a man that could build a porch, fix the car, patch up the ceiling, and unclog the sink in one day. He would come home from a long day at work and when he saw you he would smile and say “my God you look amazing”. Where is he at, and why do women keep getting stuck with 70% men, where is the 100% man at?
Truth is women, we all know we don’t care what our man says when he gets home, we might complain and nag that he hasn’t done this or hasn’t done that, but in all reality we know that when they come home give us that first kiss, look in our eyes and ask “where’s dinner?”, all we can do is melt into a pool of love and cater to his needs. That’s the real trouble with men, you can’t live with them, and for some strange reason, have no strength to live without them.
