The RiverCity Rage are a professional indoor football team in the Indoor Football League. They played home games at the Family Arena in Saint Charles, Missouri, part of the metropolitan area of St. Louis, Missouri, in past seasons, played in the Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis in the 2006 season, and are returning to the Family Arena for the 2007 UIF season.

Their recently hired Head Coach, Eric Van Tassel, had to leave the team to attend to family matters-Ken Stills, their Defensive Coordinator, was promoted to Head Coach & Defensive Coordinator in February 2008.

History

The RiverCity Rage began play in 2001 as the St. Louis Renegades of the Indoor Professional Football League, finishing fourth in the league with a 2-11 record. After the IPFL folded, the team moved to the National Indoor Football League in 2002 and became the River City Renegades. The team finished its first season in the NIFL with a 1-13 record. For 2003-2004, the team was renamed the Show-Me Believers. In the first season under the new name, the team finished with a 4-10 record that showed improvement, despite being a losing record. In 2004, the team's skill increased vastly, and completed the season with a winning record for the first time at 9-5. In 2005, the team was renamed and is currently the RiverCity Rage. The Rage won the 2005 East Atlantic Conference Division with a record of 10-4. With this record, the team was locked in a three-way tie for the best regular-season record; however, the team lost its Conference Quarter Finals game 67 to 64 to the Cincinnati Marshals.

The next season, the team finished in a four-way tie for the regular season record at 13-1, and advanced to the Atlantic Conference championship game, losing to the Fayetteville Guard.

After the 2006 season, the Rage announced they were joining United Indoor Football for 2007. The Rage continue their membership in the United Indoor Football for 2008. [http://www.oursportscentral.com/services/releases/?id=3380263]

In 2008, the RiverCity Rage struggled through a seven game losing streak before winning three of their last four games to make the playoffs. They won by a last-minute touchdown in a home playoff game against the Sioux City Bandits, but lost the Conference Finals on the road to the Bloomington Extreme, 33-7.

Starting in 2009, the Rage will play in the Indoor Football League, a new league created out of the merger between the UIF and the Intense Football League.

Ragey the Bull (Team Mascot)

Ragey is known for being a very serious bull. He is very tight lipped and will give you little more than a moo in response to tough questions. Don't let that fool you though, he is very friendly and courteous bull.

Ragey makes many appearances throughout the year, even during the off-season. You will see him at charity events and runs and is always eager to be a part of the fun. He visits Fazoli's Italian Restaurant weekly and has been on television multiple times including segments with Tim Ezell.
