The Stompers were founded
in 2001 as an expansion franchise to replace the now-defunct Cucamonga
Crapshoots, one of FAUX Football's charter franchises. With such
large shoes to fill, John Murphy, who served as Manila
Folder's Executive Vice President from 1998 to 2000, was selected
to run FAUX's newest franchise. Murphy immediately seized the opportunity
to build a team in his own image, settling his team in the Russian River
valley, an area once known as "Stumptown" because of extensive
lumber harvesting there. The Stumptown Stompers were born. In a bold
(and some thought insane) initial move, the new owner hired Joe Carroll
as his General Manager. The Stompers
have shown steady improvement since their days as an expansion team,
though they have a reputation for suffering devastating player injuries.
The Stompers have shown flashes of brilliance, suffering only two seasons
in their history. In 2005, Stumptown celebrated it's fifth season as
FAUX franchise.By posting a franchise-best 10-4 mark, the Stompers franchise
record was 42-41-1, surpassed the .500 mark.
