SaberCats Blow By Destroyer to Win ArenaBowl XXI

Ballhype: hype it up!

Sabercats_arena_bowl_champions Bittersweet as it was, today was the last day of the 2007 Arena Football season.  No our Philly Soul didn't make it there, although, it is a little comforting to hear the Soul's owner, Jon Bon Jovi's voice singing the lead in music to the game.

Today's Arena Bowl XXI was definitely exciting in the beginning, but as the 4th quarter wound down, you had the impending sense that the Columbus Destroyers' "Cinderella Season" was about to come to a disappointing end, with their carriage turning back into the pumpkin and no prince to fit the glass slipper on a foot.

In the beginning the Destroyers matched the SaberCats touchdown for touchdown until the SaberCats returned a kickoff for a touchdown.  That really seemed to be the turning point in the game from my vantage point, it just really seemed to knock some of the wind out of the Destroyers' sails.  During the 4th quarter it really seemed that the Destroyers were working extremely hard for each yard the managed to gain, and the San Jose SaberCats just made everything look entirely too easy.

Now it's on to looking forward to 2008, and the optimistic view that the Soul will make it to Arena Bowl XXII!
