The River Rats have come a very long way since their start at Season 4. Owner RazzyG took over a gutted team in Season 4 and led the rebuilding process through Season 6. At Season 7, the team was finally able to become a competitive force. With a mixture of solid talent brought aboard and knowledgeable coaches and GMs, the River Rats finished the Season 7 regular season at 14-2 with the third seed heading in to the post-season. After a convincing win in Round 1, the Rats fell slightly short in Round 2.
The River Rats sent three players to the Pro-Bowl, as voted by owners of the division, in Season 7. This included two offensive players: running back and guard; and one defensive player, a defensive tackle. In addition to these selections, four alternates were selected: full back, offensive tackle, nose tackle, and a linebacker. The Zeta Conference Offensive MVP was awarded to Spokane's starting running back.
Spokane is active in not only their own team forum, but the Eastern Europe forum as well. We like to add some spice to the league with heavy trash talk, but it's always in good fun. It's also never been trash talk that we couldn't back up on the field. We talk a big game and we game plan a big game as well. We invite all agents involved in the team to involve themselves in both team and league forums.
Spokane is aggressive in their recruiting, but we also are not willing to offer over the top offers. We keep a strict budget to ensure the future of the organization. Every player on the team will be offered solid contracts with equipment aid as they level up. Season 8 brings us a new challenge as we have been promoted to Eastern Europe AA, but we still look to be a solid championship contender.
