an opportunistic defensive effort, the Hammerheads held the Texas offense, the league's highest-scoring unit well below its regular-season average of 40.8 points per game. In doing so, Texas finished with just eight first downs and 144 yards of total offense. Aside from recording four turnovers (two fumble recoveries and two interceptions), Hawaii also held the regular-season champion Terminators scoreless for two quarters. Notable players The Terminators were stocked with a great deal of local talent and former stars of the University of Texas including: James Brown, Butch Hadnot, and Lance Gunn (who had signed but opted to work for Frito Lay instead.) The defense was led by Aaron Hamilton, who had 11.5 sacks on the season. Terminators to skip the 2000 IPFL season As posted on the official Texas Terminators website right after the 1999 IPFL Championship Game loss.... Texas Terminator fans, It is with great regret that I announce that the Texas Terminators Indoor Professional Football team will not be participating in the up coming IPFL 2000 season. We were looking forward to defending our regular season championship in pursuit of winning it all this year. Last season the Austin metro area fans and media rallied behind our franchise providing an Inaugural season that was second to none in the IPFL. Our games were well attended by football savvy fans and with their support we posted a perfect 8-0 home record. All of the teams in the IPFL knew they were in for a war when they entered "the Barn" as we referred to our home the "Travis County Exposition Center". It is that respect for our fans that have led me to forgo participating in the 2000 season. The Exposition Center is a wonderful facility and we were thankful for them allowing us the opportunity to play there. The facts sadly can not be ignored and the conditions were less than optimal for indoor football in July and August. The IPFL as a league will continue to grow as evidenced by the addition of Portland, Omaha, and Shreveport this year. The play of the Texas Terminators reaffirmed that Texas is the home of football. To the media, our fans and friends rest assured the Texas Terminators will a find suitable venue to continue bringing you the same "Wall-to-Wall" football excitement that you have come to expect from your team. WE'LL Be BACK! Thank you Jeff Parnell Texas Terminators
