In the world of indoor football, there are very few bona fide superstars that can single handedly change every game they’re in. Chris Dixon is one of those players. I’m sure all Storm fans will remember him carrying his entire team in his back in the 2008 Western Conference Championship only to have an Adam Hicks last second field goal delay Chris’s first UIF-IFL title by a year. Dixon marks the third former Storm division rival QB to wind up playing for Coach Kurtiss Riggs. In 2004 Jose Fuentes came over from Wyoming, and in 2005 we obtained Terrance Bryant from Rapid City.
Today marks a bittersweet moment in Storm History. Dixon’s announcement means we’re likely only hours away from a press release announcing the retirement of one Terrance Bryant, who led the Storm to 4 straight UIF titles, and a 40 game winning streak including back-to-back perfect seasons in 2006 and 2007. Seeing Terrance ride off into the proverbial sunset after announcing his intentions to play in 2011 during the team’s post season fan appreciation party make me wonder if an aging body and off season got the better of him. Better to retire and let the younger guy take over than retire, unretire, and then wind up in Sioux City eh Packers fans?
Rumors and tidbits floating around indicate that Dixon isn’t the only league super star that might find their way to Sioux Falls. So buckle up Storm fans, this is sure to get interesting.
