The Augusta Stallions were one of the 15 original teams to join the inaugural 2000 AF2 season. They started off in the American Conference, before switching to the Southeast Division in 2001, and then the Eastern Division in 2002. In their first year, Augusta went 13-3, made the playoffs, and had the best record in the American Conference. During the playoffs, the Stallions held off a very fiesty Carolina Rhinos team that was looking to upset Augusta. During Week 2 however, they lost to the Tennessee Valley Vipers by a touchdown. Had they won, they would play the Quad City Steamwheelers for the inaugural AF2 championship. Unfortuantely, the loss was too hard to handle. Despite going 9-7 in 2001, Augusta failed to make the playoffs. In 2002, Augusta was on fire by winning 11 of it's first 12 games, and made the playoffs again. This time, however, they would be stopped in the first round, this time, by the Macon Knights. Being one of the most sucessful franchises in the AF2, Augusta did the unthinkable, and bowed out of the AF2. Augusta & professional football will be a tough combination to regroup.
