History
The Dixie Blues were a former member of the now disbanded Women's American Football League, where they were runner-ups in the first championship game in 2001 and won the title in 2002. After the league disbanded, they joined the American Football Women's League; they came in second place in the 2003 season. They spent two seasons in the Independent Women's Football League. The Dixie Blues were most recently in the Women's Football League, where they have won the 2006 and 2007 titles.
They were planning to join the National Women's Football Association in 2009, but have instead become one of the charter franchises in the Women's Football Alliance. So far, the Dixie Blues' WFA tenure has been extremely successful, winning three straight division titles and being the only WFA charter member never to have lost a regular-season game in league play.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“History has neither the venerableness of antiquity, nor the freshness of the modern. It does as if it would go to the beginning of things, which natural history might with reason assume to do; but consider the Universal History, and then tell us,—when did burdock and plantain sprout first?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He wrote in prison, not a History of the World, like Raleigh, but an American book which I think will live longer than that. I do not know of such words, uttered under such circumstances, and so copiously withal, in Roman or English or any history.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
