TheLubbock Gunslingers were a professionalindoor football team. They played their home games inLubbock, Texas, atLubbock Municipal Coliseum.
The Gunslingers played in 2004 as a charter member of theIntense Football League when they were known as theLubbock Lone Stars, receiving some criticism locally as it was felt that the phraseLone Star should not be pluralized. Besides that, they ended their inaugural year at 9-7 and won over theOdessa Roughnecks in the Semifinals, yet lost to theAmarillo Dusters in Intense Bowl I.
Following their sole year in the IFL, the team joined theNIFL for the 2005 season, where they finished with a lackluster 4-10 record, but still finished second in the Pacific North Division.
New ownership was unable to begin play in 2006. Most of the team's regional travel partners bolted for the reorganizedIntense Football League, while the Gunslingers had chosen to remain in the NIFL and wait another season to restart the team.
Some of the original members of the Lone Stars include QBGeorge Godsey and WR Anton Paige. The original voice of the team's radio play-by-play and the head of its public relations was Greg Rankin.
Later in 2006, in a move that essentially spelled the end for the Gunslingers, the rights to play indoor football in the Coliseum were sold toTexas af2 Holdings, LLC, who also manages theLaredo Lobos,Texas Copperheads, and theCorpus Christi Sharks. Anaf2 expansion team, theLubbock Renegades, began play in 2007.
