When it comes to the Arena Football League's Avengers, it's been easy to focus on everything except what's taking place on the field. Then again, considering they are winless, maybe a new billboard campaign is in order. ``We're 0-2,'' Avengers coach Stan Brock Stanley James Brock (born June 8, 1958 in Portland, Oregon) is the current head coach of football of the United States Military Academy (Army). He was a tackle in the National Football League for the New Orleans Saints and the San Diego Chargers. said. ``We need a win to keep our sanity.'' The Avengers get another chance to record their first victory tonight at 7, when they play the Oklahoma Wranglers The Oklahoma Wranglers was the final name of a team in the Arena Football League, that also operated in Memphis, Tennessee, and Portland, Oregon.

It won't be easy. The Wranglers are 2-0 and averaging a league-best 65 points per game. Whoever wins will be going for a sweep this week, because the teams play Friday night in Oklahoma City Oklahoma City (1990 pop. 444,719), state capital, and seat of Oklahoma co., central Okla., on the North Canadian River; inc. 1890. The state's largest city, it is an important livestock market, a wholesale, distribution, industrial, and financial center, and a farm . These aren't the same Avengers who last played April 21 in a loss to Carolina.

He's activated former Muir High and USC cornerback Ken Haslip, who could start tonight, along with cornerback Carlos Brooks and wide receiver Jason Fletcher.

We have to eliminate the turnovers and get guys to play as a team.'' In their loss to Carolina, the Avengers had four turnovers, including three fumbles, which played a key role in their 58-50 loss. As usual, Marinovich will be a center of attention tonight. Brock said he won't decide until game time whether he will activate the former USC and Raiders quarterback. Marinovich hasn't played in the first two games, but Brock said he wants to talk to the quarterback and see whether he is ``mentally prepared'' before making a decision. Another area open for improvement is the kicking game. Kicker Kyle Pooler missed two extra points against Carolina. In another quirk unique to arena football, he's a school teacher in Phoenix and practices on his own during the week, then flies in for games.
