Shock plan to draw energy from Iowans

The Spokane Shock are spending the Fourth of July with perhaps 10,000 of the Iowa Barnstormers’ closest friends. No. 1 Spokane (12-0) tangles with No. 7 Iowa (8-4) tonight at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. Other than a few of Shock head coach Adam Shackleford’s relatives, the fans will be loud and pro-Iowa, though the holiday might trim the crowd count.

Shock not in awe of record

Adam Shackleford knows arenafootball2 history. The Spokane Shock head coach knows there’s only been one team to go undefeated. He knows it was Quad City in 2000, af2’s inaugural season. He knows the Steamwheelers won 16 regular-season games and three more in the playoffs for an ArenaCup championship.

Dawgz provide tough task

A Spokane-Oklahoma City arenafootball2 matchup in early May would have been ideal. Two unbeatens, top two in the rankings, playing for bragging rights and home-field advantage in the playoffs. The matchup in early June would have been so-so. Spokane was still unbeaten. The Yard Dawgz dropped five straight games in May and plummeted in the poll.
