2003 Rocky Mountain Football League season

2003 Season
Parity, parity, parity was the theme of 2003. Although the Madison Lionz "ran the table" in the regular season, going 8-0 into the playoffs, several of their games were closely contested and after losing MVP Quarterback, Troy Dougherty for the season in their seventh game, looked very beatable going into the playoffs. The Mini-Cassia Bulldawgs, the most improved team of the year, won their first divisional title ever, vindicating previous frustration by beating never-defeated before rivals, Pocatello and Boise (twice). Fifth seed, and defending champion, Idaho Falls Mustangs did what had never been done before. The Mustangs, after finishing the season with 5 wins and 3 losses, vindicated each of their three losses in the playoffs... all on the road. Starting with the team they beat in the 2002 Championship game, the Pocatello Silverbacks, then systematically dismantling the Madison Lionz 46-6 and finishing with the coup d'etat, defeating the Snake River Rebels for the first time in Mustang history in the championship game 20-8 to win their unprecendented 3rd RMFL title and, also never achieved, second consecutive. After the season, after 5 years of sporatic glory, the Snake River Rebels, the RMFL's 1999 champions and 2002 suspendees, sadly disbanded. Hope springs eternal, however, as post-season talks turned towards a potential "merger" with the Utah Football League and an influx of competition, rivalries and drama for 2004...
