just saw the sundogs in prescott last weekend. They have a very tough player #2 cant remember his name. He's 240 pounds nobody would mess with him from quad city.

the sundogs look like their dying though. attendence is dwindling. they have ownership problems which is hilarious considering the yotes situation.

Its funny that Smyth and Brennan are now teammates-
Brennan jumped Smyth earlier in the season, and I am pretty sure he was bashing him on twitter. It really seems like they didnt like each other. Now
