Don't Look Out Back
The Outlaws are in the middle of a five-game road losing streak, something a lot of fans might be quick to attribute to the hours-long bus rides the team takes to other GBL destinations. That excuse may have been acceptable last season, but not this year — something I found out while talking to Dr. Mike Metzger, the team's massage therapist. Metzger said he found all kinds of lower back problems needing tending to when the Outlaws came home from road swings in 2006. But a change in buses over the offseason, he said, took care of that.
"It's kinda weird, I don't see too many of the same issues this season," he said. "It's definitely the new bus. I see a few (lower back) problems on occasion when they get home, but not nearly as many as last season."
