Английская Википедия:Houston Outlaws (RFL team)
The Houston Outlaws were a professional American football team that played during the 1999 season as part of the Regional Football League. They played their home games at Pasadena Memorial Stadium in Pasadena, Texas, a suburb of Houston.[1][2]
The team was announced as one of the league's charter members on November 12, 1998.[3] Although Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Ernie Stautner was named head coach in February 1999,[4] there is no record of him acting in that capacity. For the team's lone season, former NFL defensive tackle Ray Woodard served as head coach.[5][1] Josh LaRocca, who had played college football for the Rice Owls, was the starting quarterback.[6]
Although the team was scheduled to play a 12-game regular season, poor attendance and sagging revenues would prove too much for the new league. In the shortened regular season, the Outlaws had a 6–2 record. In the postseason, the Outlaws were seeded second in the four-team playoff bracket. They defeated the Mississippi Pride in a home game, 27–3, to advance to the championship game against the top-seeded Mobile Admirals. In RFL Bowl I, played at the Admirals' home field, Ladd–Peebles Stadium, the Outlaws were edged by the Admirals, 14–12.[7] It was the third time the Admirals defeated the Outlaws, who did not lose to any other team. After the season, the team and league ceased operation.
