On July 13, 2012, owner and general manager Eddie Cronin died in an automobile accident.[1] On August 8, 2012, the Rage confirmed that they would continue to be a part of the CIFL again in 2013, with Cronin's fiancé, Melissa Logsdon running the team.[2] The season will be dedicated to Cronin. On September 27, 2012, Logsdon announced that the team would be moving to Owensboro, Kentucky.[3] The Rage also named Kory White as General Manager the same day.[3] The Rage signed former Louisville quarterback Bill Ashburn[4] as well as former Arena Football League wide receiver Robert Redd to get the team's offense going.[5]
After starting off 2-0, the Rage lost three straight games. To help the floundering team, the Rage signed Jared Lorenzen to help solidify the quarterback position.[6] Lorenzen helped the Rage instantly by helping the Rage win a close game with the Marion Blue Racers. The Rage received two automatic victories from the folding of the Kane County Dawgs, bringing their record to 5-3, but with two games remaining in the season, the Rage suspended operations due to lack of funds.[7] The Rage forfeit their final two games of the season, making their record 5-5.
