Force vs. Colorado Crush in ArenaBowl XIX on NBC 3p
The
National Conference Champion Georgia Force (click
for photos from the game at Philips last week) face the American
Conference Champion Colorado Crush on Sunday, June 12th at 3 p.m.
ET in ArenaBowl XIX in Las Vegas. ArenaBowl XIX will be the first-ever
neutral site championship game in the 19-year history of the AFL.
This will be the first appearance by either team in the ArenaBowl
and match the two top seeds from each Conference. The Force and
Crush have only played once before, when Georgia defeated Colorado
44-40 in the Crush’s first game in franchise history back
in 2003.
NBC Sports will broadcast live coverage of the game. Tom Hammond
(play-by-play), Pat Haden (analyst), Lewis Johnson (reporter) and
Marty Snider (reporter) will call the action. Al Trautwig hosts
the AFL on NBC studio show from Las Vegas, joined by analysts Glenn
Parker and Ray Bentley. The halftime show will feature a performance
from recording artist Bryan Adams.
Georgia claimed the National Conference Championship with a 60-58
comeback victory over the Orlando Predators on June 4th in Philips
Arena. While, Colorado clinched the American Conference Championship
with a 49-43 overtime win over the Chicago Rush on June 5th. Former
Force player Andy McCullough hauled in a 22-yard touchdown with
5:10 left in the extra session to lift Colorado to victory.
Led by 2005 AFL Coach of the Year Doug Plank, the Force may be making
their first championship game appearance, but Plank is no stranger
to the title game. As defensive coordinator for the Arizona Rattlers
from 2002-2004, Plank is making his fourth consecutive trip to the
ArenaBowl and still looks for his first victory. Only three players
on Georgia’s active roster have ArenaBowl experience (Kevin
Gaines, Orlando- 1998, Nelson Garner, Arizona 2003-2004 and Ricky
Parker, Arizona 2002-2004).

The time-honored tradition of the summer film festival at the Fox

off the summer with the 2005 Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival. This
year the Festival offers “Movies, Mixers and “Mo”
- a blend of classic and current films on the biggest screen in
Atlanta, as well as a pre-show, magical movie going experience featuring
Larry Douglas Embury at the “Mighty MO” organ, wine
tastings, social mixers, sing-a-longs and a classic cartoon.
