Turnout for Scrimmage

Excellent turnout for a scrimmage was the case Friday August 7. I am hoping thats the first of many more encouraging signs coming from the Rams and their fans this summer and fall. Of course there was no admission fee, but still an overflow crowd for a facility holding 6500 people is a start. It appears the business and football side of the Rams staff is determined to work at restoring excellent commnity and fan relations, and I think fans are ready to give them a chance to turn it around. I do not think the fans would be as agreeable if the team had not basically reworked itself from top to bottom. I was one of the fans wanting Haslett to be hired as head coach, but I now feel it was critical to hire a new coach from outside the organization, and applaud their wisdom in doing that. I think we are in for an interesting year. I think the 2009 Rams will surprise the league and their fans with a much better level of play, and we will be at worst, within shouting distance of a .500 record!
