May Day, May Day!Barnstormers crash, burn in Super Bowl XLIV loss
December 27, 2009 Iowa City, IA (Ticker) – San Francisco running back A.J. Patton racked up 243 total yards (165 rush, 78 rec) and scored two touchdowns, leading the 49ers to a 41-19 victory over the Barnstormers in Super Bowl XLIV. “It’s so darn frustrating,” said Iowa quarterback Roman Roberts, who left the game early in the second quarter with a strained hamstring. “We had them where we wanted them, and then everything fell apart.” Iowa drew first blood on a 27-yard Jim Lane field goal, but San Francisco put up 10 points to take the lead. The Barnstormers responded with Roberts’ only touchdown pass of the day and a 46-yard field goal to take a 13-10 advantage with 7:09 left in the second quarter. Unfortunately, that was the last time that Iowa would score until getting six points on two field goals in the closing minutes of the game. The 49ers, however, would put up 28 points before then. “These guys played with a lot of heart,” said head coach Travis O’Donnell . “All we can do now is look to next year and try to improve on this great season.” Box Score: San Francisco 49ers at Iowa City Barnstormers. |

The Niners just went on a 28-0 tear and we had to settle for four field goals since we couldn't get our running game going. Nonetheless, the team made excellent progress in getting to the playoffs. Hopefully, this will be something to build on. . . |

He threw only 12 interceptions. |

2009 Barnstormers Report CardDecember 30, 2009Here is a rundown of Iowa City’s performance in 2009: QUARTERBACKS: A- Quarterback Roman Roberts had an excellent season, earning All-League Second Team for the third time in the last three years. On the year, Roberts threw for 3,325 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for an 87.0 rating. He also ran 80 times for 391 yards (4.8 yds/carry avg.) and scored seven rushing touchdowns. RUNNING BACKS: B Friendship Lofton had a great year, rushing for 1,191 yards (7th) and nine touchdowns (T-9th). Rookie running back Shaun Pochman, the team’s second-round pick out of Tennessee, struggled. On the year, he gained only 137 yards on 65 carries (2.1 yds/carry avg.) but did score three touchdowns. OFFENSIVE LINE: C The offensive line was mediocre. Although the unit played well in pass protection, allowing just 31 sacks on the year (T-10th), no one in the group made more than 26 key run blocks. Starting right tackle Grant Duffy was the best of the bunch, making 23 key run blocks in 58 opportunities (39.6%) and allowing just four sacks. RECEIVERS: B Jorge Ellison, Iowa’s top receiver, missed half the season with a hip pointer but still had 41 catches for 626 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. Rookie wide receiver Matthew McGregor, the team’s first-round pick out of Texas, impressed in his first professional season. In 16 starts, McGregor led the team with 58 catches and 740 receiving yards. He also finished with eight touchdown catches, which ranked second in the league. Tight end Freddie Morris had 51 catches for 556 yards and four touchdown catches. DEFENSIVE LINE: D+ The loss of starting defensive end Brock Darlington hit the line hard. On the year, the defensive line recorded only 23.5 sacks on the season, and the lack of an effective pass rush contributed to the team allowing an average of 247.6 passing yards per game (29th). Defensive end Stephen Bonham led the team with 9.5 sacks, his lowest total since he became a starter in 2005. LINEBACKERS: C The Iowa linebacking corps was solid, led by fourth-year middle linebacker Bob Robinson. Robinson finished the season with 151 tackles (124 solo) and 3.0 sacks to earn All-League Second Team honors. SECONDARY: F The Iowa secondary struggled mightily with the loss the team’s two starting safeties Gilbert Coady and Bubba Boyer to injury for the final six weeks of the season and the playoffs. On the year, the Barnstormers ranked a miserable 29th in the league in total interceptions (12) and passing yards allowed (247.6/game). SPECIAL TEAMS: B+ Place kicker Jim Lane had another great year. In the regular season, he made 21 of 29 but many of those misses were 50+ yard attempts. In the playoffs, Lane was a perfect 12 for 12, including two 46-yarders, two 49-yarders and one 55-yard kick. Punter Junior Levine was solid, averaging 41.7 yards per kick and dropping 27 of his 80 punts (34%) inside the 20. COACHING: A- Coach Travis O’Donnell, who was on the hot seat all year due to the team’s early playoff exits over the past five seasons, proved that he is one of the best coaches in the NFL. Despite losing four of the team’s elite starters to injury or the salary cap, O’Donnell still managed to bring Iowa its first divisional title and AFC Championship. |

Wow! I hadn't noticed it's been over two weeks!
I'll be getting back into it in the next couple days. Took some time off to do other stuff, like watch a lot of baseball. The break has been good, letting me re-charge the ol' creativity batteries. Look for the decade review tommorrow and then the 2010 season by the end of the week. |

Unfortunately, it may be gone forever.
I've been trying to reinstall FOF2 on my PC, but it isn't working. I even reformatted my entire drive and installed it again without installing FOF2K4, but it isn't working. I'm waiting to hear from eLicense. This is exactly why I hate eLicense. eLicense should have a "fix" or "crack" that doesn't require Internet/server access after the game is no longer for sale. |

Rob, you should check with Darkiller. I'm pretty sure he had a similar issue with FOF2 and FOF2004 and I think he finally got both to work. I'm not quite sure how though, so you should ask him...

Woo hoo!!! I got both FOF2 and FOF2K4 up and running.
All I had to do was reformat my hard drive three times, try all sorts of craziness, and I eventually lucked into it, I think. Thanks, Darkiller, for the help. The 2010 season will begin in a couple days. . . Thanks for the interest, guys! |
