2009 Rocky Mountain Football League season

2009 Season
The 2009 Season saw the RMFL staff coming into focus. Shane Campbell replaced Travis Hobson as web master and initiated a new web site for the RMFL as the RMFL moved to a new Statistics hosting program through “Hosted Statistics”. A program that worked well only if the league stayed within the “cookie cutter” requirements of the program. Further, the RMFL experienced unprecedented growth. With only the Salt Lake Seminoles and Stripling Warriorz folding; and the Idaho Matadors merging with the Treasure Valley Spartans, the league continued to grow. 7 new franchises were added, two of those 7 were added as a AA “affiliate” of a current AA team: Ogden (formerly Bear River) Rockets and the Treasure Valley (formerly Boise Speed) Spartans. 5 other new teams were added, including two teams that would capture RMFL championships in the next two seasons: Wasatch Revolution and Saint George Blitz. Along with the new AA affiliates and the Blitz and Revolution, the league added the Utah Valley Desperados, Utah County Outlawz and the Davis Cowboys. The league was formed into 14 AA teams and 14 AAA teams for 28 teams. Bitter player movement debate and consequences followed the league early on after the Kick-off meeting. A large portion of key Utah Wolverine players left the Wolverines to help start the new Wasatch Revolution team and a number of Davis Vipers left that age-old franchise to join the Utah Shock. Commissioners Dave Sire and Travis Hobson were entrenched in bitter suspension rulings and player movement interpretations that would scar the beginning of the season. Ultimately, all would be resolved as the Utah Shock, once again, won the regular season title, even beating the Wasatch Revolution in the regular season to gain the #1 seed. Lead once again by reigning league MVP, Jordan Kjar, this time the Shock would make it to the RMFL title game, only to be undone by former BYU Cougar, quarterback, Charlie Peterson and the highly stocked expansion, Wasatch Revolution team for the 2009 RMFL title. Interestingly, it would not be the first time a team new to the league would win the title. It was also done in 1999 (Snake River), 2000 (Wasatch Wildcats), 2001 (Pocatello Predators), 2004 (Rhino-Raiders). The AA saw a number of rising franchises emerge, rising out of a history of difficult seasons: including Great Falls Gladiators (7-1), Magic Valley Bulldawgs (7-1), Glacier Knights (6-2) as well as the Logan Stampede (8-0) taking the next step and expansion team, Utah Valley Desperados (7-1) making a statement. The Desperados would upset the Gladiators in Great Falls to face the Logan Stampede in the AA Championship game. In a closely contested bout, the Stampede would emerge with the AA title and a stake in the upper echelon of the RMFL for 2010.
