The Odessa Roughnecks indoor football team is under new ownership. The new owners, led by Midland businessman Dale Morris, have one goal and one goal only, Win! Many of the team's players and fans are excited about the fact that Morris, a die-hard Roughneck follower, will transfuse his enthusiasm from the stands to the front office of the struggling franchise. Morris is well known for being kicked out of a game before for his treatment of the officiating crew. After the initial transition from the previous owners, Morris says he must first, "figure out exactly what league we play in. Intense Football League, Xtreme Football League, Indoor Football League, hell I don't know which one it is." Second on Morris' list is to "not suck" which will be hard since the Roughnecks do in fact suck and sucking is the one thing they do well. "If sucking was a business we'd be rich" one player said recently. So, Morris has his hands full trying to turn things around for the newly re-named West Texas Roughnecks. Good luck, Dale. I'll be expecting tickets and beer.
