  • In 2008, growth took a backseat to change. After winning 4 consecutive titles, it was announced early that the South Ogden Rhino-Raiders would be folding prior to the pre-season meeting. Perennial AAA contender, the Madison Lionz were approved to drop to AA while the 2007 AA Champion, Bitterroot Blaze moved up to AAA along with nearby rival, Missoula Phoenix. Three new franchises were added: Logan Stampede, Stripling Warriorz and Uintah Basin Oilers as the RMFL expanded to 23 total teams heading into the 2008 season; three AA divisions would result with the 12 teams. A Northern division to include the now AA Lionz, Helena, Great Falls and Glacier. A Western division that would include Boise, Snake River, Magic Valley and Idaho. And a Southern division that would include Logan, Morgan, Strippling and Uintah Basin. Remaining for the AAA would be Cache Valley, Utah Shock, Utah Wolverines, Utah Heat, Bear River Rockets, Salt Lake Seminoles, Idaho Falls Mustangs, Pocatello Predators, Bitterroot Blaze and Missoula Phoenix. The Shock shocked the league by recovering from a dismal inaugural season in the AAA in 2007 to win the regular season #1 playoff seed before falling to the Cache Valley Bears in the semi-finals. The AAA championship turned out to be the most exciting and dramatic championship in RMFL history as the Bears beat the Utah Wolverines in AAA overtime. The AA title was captured by the Lionz, accused of “sand-bagging” early as they dropped their first game of the season to Helena before winning out, including a dramatic championship victory over the Idaho Matadors, scoring a game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of the game. Dave Sire and Ed Cerise were appointed “Division Commissioners” to begin the season as the RMFL staff expanded. Cerise, however, struggled to perform and was replaced after the season with RMFL webmaster, Travis Hobson.
