Here’s a quick video I took at the Chicago Rush/Rampage game.
In what turned into a surprisingly close game, the Rush beat the Rampage 55-52.
Coach Ho warms up his team.
Liam Ezekiel warms up
Grabowski leads the team into the arena.
Not a lot of defense in the game
Here’s a video that I took for the intro for the Chicago Rush
The Chicago Rush smashed the Arizona Rattlers tonight 59 to 35.
The game started out close. Arizona lept out ahead with the Rush catching up quickly.
Daimen Harrell had six catches for 100 yards and 3 touchdowns.
The Rush defense put a lot of pressure on the Arizona QB
There was a lot of hard hitting in this game, especially near the end of the game. A few times we thought that a little fistacuffs might happen.
Here are a few images I took… I left my good camera at home, but was still able to snag some shots and video. More are coming.



Here’s another video of the Chicago Rush scoring a touchdown against the Philly Soul
Here’s a video I snagged of the Rush scoring a touchdown today.
The Chicago Rush lost to the Philadelphia Soul today 49-60. As always, the pregame for the Rush is a blast.
However, the game started off poorly with the Soul quickly taking a 13 point lead. The Rush came back quickly and scored a touchdown.
Dan Franz, nails another extra point.
The Chicago Rush must not have any lawyers on staff, because I can’t believe this is even allowed. Fan boxing!!!
OK, so let’s get two fans, give them gigantic boxing gloves and let them pound each other… Awesome. I’m sure when it goes to court, they can use this picture as "People’s Exhibit A".
The Rush tried to rally near the end of the game, but not even Grabowski could get the team in motion
In the end, the Rush couldn’t pull it out.
However, at the end of the game, Bobby Sippio, former Rush receiver (now with the KC Chiefs), showed why I love the AFL. He came back to Chicago and signed autographs for the fans.
Now that’s cool.
The next home game is against the Colorado Crush. Bring it on!
Here it is fans - the Chicago Rush 2008 season. Arena football at its best. I was a little apprehensive about the season without Bobby Sippio, but boy, was I wrong.
The home opener was last night and started with their usual exciting intro.
Thanks to our bud Neil, our seats are great. The coach, no not coach Ho, "Da Coach" Mike Ditka is just a few seats behind us.
The Rush came out scoring 14 points quickly, with Sherdrick Bonner throwing a TD with his first pass. It was a pretty sweet start to the game until the Sabercats came back with their own 21 points.
The Rush quickly responded to pull within 3.
Then, in the 4th quarter, the Sabercats fell apart with the Rush clearly dominating them 70-47.
After last night’s performance, I am eagerly anticipating another great year from the Rush. Next week - the Philadephia Soul. Bring it on Bon Jovi…
