KENNEWICK -- It's no secret that this season has been filled with some not-so-memorable firsts for the Tri-Cities Fever.

KENNEWICK -- It took nearly two years, but Colin Drafts finally got his first victory in a Tri-Cities Fever uniform.

KENNEWICK -- Here is a preview of today's af2 indoor football game, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Toyota Center:

KENNEWICK -- It took a little convincing to get Colin Drafts back to the Tri-Cities, but now that he's here, he knows he made the right choice.

This has not been the Tri-Cities Fever's year, and the evidence kept coming Thursday.

KENNEWICK -- The Tri-Cities Fever could soon be right behind its fans, heading for the Toyota Center exits.

SPOKANE -- Colin Drafts bailed out the Tri-Cities Fever in the second half Saturday night.

What can you say about tonight's game against the Spokane Shock other than stranger things have happened.

J.R. Thomas said he was going to play in the arenafootball2 league this season. If Tuesday was any indication, he might stay true to his word. It has just taken a little while.

Pat O'Hara signed rookie receiver Kameron Kranz last week, hoping to provide some kind of spark to his offense.

At some point things have got to get better -- at least a little bit.

KENNEWICK -- Tomotsuna Inoue is the Tri-Cities Fever's Japanese quarterback.

Let's be honest.

KENNEWICK -- The Tri-Cities Fever has been through four coaches in less than four seasons.

STOCKTON, Calif. -- It is no secret that a lack of offense has plagued the Tri-Cities Fever all season.

Pat O'Hara hasn't had any luck finding a cure for his atrocious offense stateside, so he has enlisted some international help.

Here's a preview of today's Tri-City Fever at Stockton game in af2 indoor football action:

KENNEWICK -- The Tri-Cities Fever has had a hard enough time putting points on the board this season.

The Tri-Cities Fever lost its second game in a row by 40-plus points Saturday night, as its offense again showed why its the worst in the arenafootball2 league, failing to score a single point in the second half.

Sometimes a story is all too predictable.

To be honest, Pat O'Hara was a little surprised when he returned to practice Monday.

A semi-pro football player was sentenced Tuesday to a year in prison for breaking through airport security and hitting an officer, then days later biting off the finger of a jail sergeant.

The Tri-Cities Fever has nearly two weeks to come up with a game plan to beat the Spokane Shock in another in-stallment between the rivals.

BOISE -- The Boise Burn set a season high and tied a team record with 77 points as they improved to 5-2 all time against the Tri-Cities Fever with a 77-28 victory Saturday night.

The first victory of the season has never been easy for the Tri-Cities Fever.

He has been fielding questions about his return on his Facebook and MySpace pages for months.

The Tri-Cities Fever had been void of any memorable moments this season. Well, at least positive memorable moments.

There wasn't really any other option. At least not in the minds of the Tri-Cities Fever players.

Ryan Porter tried to bite his tongue. He tried real hard.

KENNEWICK -- Kickoff: 7:05 p.m., today at Toyota Center

Pat O'Hara had one requirement of his players in his Tri-Cities Fever coaching debut last Saturday: Play hard.

Ryan Porter will get his second chance to play his first game for the Tri-Cities Fever.

KENNEWICK Pat O'Hara wasn't sure how extensive the changes needed to be after Saturday's 64-44 loss to Central Valley.

If anything, it was a start.

By now, the Tri-Cities' stat sheet -- or lack there of -- is getting to be common knowledge.

KENNEWICK -- Pat O'Hara has worked with several actors and even appeared in a few movies himself.

Pat O'Hara has been given the daunting task of turning the Tri-Cities Fever around. And he has just 11 games to do it.

Being a head coach of one of the worst teams in the arenafootball2 league does not seem to be a deterrent to some quality coaches.

KENNEWICK Richard Davis' return to the arenafootball2 league lasted just five games, and it ended with a phone call during a forgettable cross-country road trip that covered more than 6,000 miles.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- After a trying 3,000-mile trek across the country, the return trip for the Tri-Cities Fever will not be any better.

KENNEWICK Richard Davis isn't looking for Jimmy Collins to be a savior.

The Tri-Cities Fever has lost four straight games to open the season thanks to an offense that ranks at or near the bottom of the league in every category.

KENNEWICK Quarterback Jimmy Collins was the last player added to the Tri-Cities Fever roster before Saturday night's 84-34 loss to South Georgia. And the only reason he was activated was because nose guard Chuck Jones was a no-show.

This was supposed to be an improved Tri-Cities Fever team.

There are a lot of different perspectives regarding the Tri-Cities Fever's 0-3 start to the season.

SPOKANE -- Tri-Cities Fever coach Richard Davis let loose on the officiating crew after Saturday's 62-32 arenafootball2 league loss to the Spokane Shock, and he didn't care that the league might lighten his wallet as a result.

The Spokane Shock is not flashy. Never has been.

The Tri-Cities Fever returned to practice Monday, feeling rejuvenated.

Richard Davis has sat in a dark room by himself and watched the film from last Friday's game.

For the third straight week the Spokane Shock sit atop the af2 coaches' poll. It's pretty interesting being that the Shock haven't played a game yet.
