>>140174193lol
So is the league actually taking off this time or is it a repeat of every other time Spring football was tried? These webms make it look like there are more people on the field than there are in the stands.
Miss my Dragons and I can't watch even if I wanted to cause weekend wagie lol.
>>140175297Ratings wise it's doing pretty OK, attendance wise everywhere that's not DC or St. Louis has been disappointing. The USFL teams in particular are just ass. They put absolutely no effort into getting people into the building, bringing over the USFL mindset of "The only things that matter are TV ratings and sponsor dollars."
>>140175297it's staying around for at least 1 more season. the guy who was in charge of the USFL ticket sales is in charge right now and sucks dick at his job
Two short days until we're back.
>>140175343seattle was the closest we got to a decent west coast following, but nothing for the west right now.
Whenever my team loses an important game, I unfollow all sports media on socials and don't come to /sp/ for a week...or weeks if it happened in the playoffs.
this week will result in a gades win
>>140178441kek. we need more UFL oc
>>140182380otherwise it will be fuckin embarrassing
>>140183557should be finethey'll just pull off another 4-6 to chip somewhow
>>140183316Be the change you want to see anon
>>140185054im probably one of the few anons that already has been making OC
>>140182380Nuh uh, my roughnecks are finally gonna win this weekend
>>140185633Based OC anon. I try to but it's mostly garbage. Still post it though.
>two games at the same timewe nfl now
>>140185845They're 100% gonna combine the viewership and say "SEE GUYS WE WENT PAST 1.6 MILLION!"
>>140185845we gonna have a simulcast game thread?
ARE. YOU. READY?
>>140186588Honestly that's probably a good call. Much as I enjoy the gamethreads having one for both games would be a lot more active and a lot funnier.
>>140186614Prepare to get flushed, Renegades!
>>140186650I hope I’ll be able to keep up with posting the webms of the scoring plays @_@
>>140182380Nope
>>140187162This
Stallions signed former Packers Kicker Ramiz Ahmed. He was purely a kickoff guy for them.
>>140185845>UFL RedZone with Scott HansonImagine
>>140192276I fucking hate Scott Hanson. The Redzone guys are legitimately terrible at their jobs and focus on the weirdest and dumbest shit.

>>140197147That dude flew in for the STL vs. SEA game. They put him on the field for a little bit to look around. Seemed chill

I saw a clip of missouri’s senator Eric Schmitt talking about the Battlehawks during a hearing the other day.

Final look at W4 attendance numbers, guesses below. Some of this is bleak.STL: 34kBMH: 6kSan Antonio: 11kHouston: 6k
>>140207065Did some very rough, very autistic counting. There's ~4500 tickets available for the Hawks, so yeah 34-35k sounds about right.
>>140207065>Houston: 6kthe absolute state of my roughnecks
>>140208745Still better than my botes
>>140207065oof

Regional coverage for the 7:00 games tomorrow.
>>140214311looks like im getting the Panthers @ Brahmas game
>>140214311Gay
Another fucking kicker injury. Arlington signed Jonathan Garibay, Russolino down. Big legger from Texas Tech, don't think Garibay has done anything in the NFL.
>>140214687>Jonathan Garibay>Big legger from Texas Techi knew that name sounded familiar
>>140215632I really want to know what that play is supposed to look like. They only rushed 4, but they just completely left the end unblocked, and the leaking TE doesn't even pretend like he's gonna block.
>>140215766no clue. maybe they'll run it again on sunday
>>140217056
kaw
>>140217144i love that one lol
>>140217144That short ref on the right has an ass that could stop a freight train god damn.
>>140219195Perez ended up being pretty lucky in this game all things considered. Defenders should have had like 3 or 4 ints in that game. They outright dropped at least 2 of them in the 2nd quarter
>>140219366Perez has been pretty lucky in every game honestly. I think the Battlehawks had 2 dropped picks, and Birmingham too. Shit's gonna catch up to him and then the losing season will look even worse.
>>140219119Extended version with 2 more replay angles added to the original webm
Good night /ufl/, good games and ka-kaws await you in the morning.
>>140220804Good night
>>140220527pretty nice n easy play, I wonder if theres a percentage out there of completed 2points. while nfl doesnt really use it that often, im pretty sure ufl outpreforms in that regard. or maybe im just looking too much into it.
>>140219735yup
>>140224912oops
>>140223633>>140225232did you draw these?
Battlehawks 1st turnover of the season
this catch is going in my reffies highlight reel :)
>>140227095The NCAA just approved helmet comms in FBS football. Can't fucking wait for a team's playoff hopes to die because a helmet mic wasn't working and they fucked up a do-or-die play.
>>140220873The ufl site tracks xps
>>140226451And now he's inactive this week. Lmao.
>>140227248ah man, im really gonna miss the giant tarps blocking the crowds view of the play call posters on the sidelines. i thought i had a webm or screen shot of the huge one Georgia always had on their sidelines but i cant find it so have this big Georgia unit instead
>>140227617>fat>georgian>anime girl hoodieI don't think I've ever hated another human being more
>>140227648lmao
>>140227617I'm certain they're still going to have those big posterboards and other hand signals, but it'll be supplementary rather than critical and/or a backup method in case the mics go down.Here, have another fat Georgia fan.

>>140229776version without the Cookus Sack Counter
>>140234280she cute
Did we ever get an official update on Cookus' status? Dude has been the toughest QB this year but i dont think he can take much more punishment
I missed the match because I was taking my Fleet cap to the stadium, what was it like?
>>140236459it was kind of a repeat of last weeks Botes game minus the constant sacks on Cookus>Close game in the first half>Cookus pulled during the 2nd half (this time due to injury)>Offense immediately falls apart without Cookus>Other team runs away with the game because the Botes' defense gets worn out from being on the field so long
>>140236970Version without the Cookus Sack Counter™
Over is hitting on Defenders @ Stallions. Bet accordingly.

I’ve asked previously, but are any other anons here right now?
>>140239138Don’t know why the pic posted sideways, but whatever.
>>140239138Probably not but hopefully you find your hookup anon
I live in Memphis and am thinking of going to a Showboats game. The remaining home games are vs Michigan, Birmingham, D.C., and Houston. Which one would be most enjoyable as a spectator?
>>140239761Whichever team you hate the most or like second most. The one you hate because it’s higher stakes and you’re more invested and the one you like because there are no stakes and you can just sit back and enjoy the game.
Which game are we watching, boys?
>>140239878I have no positive or negative feelings about any of the teams. Honestly, I've never been into football; I didn't play it as a kid, my parents didn't follow it, and Memphis didn't have a pro team when I was growing up (and the college team was always bad), so I didn't get into it. I'm essentially a complete novice, that's why I'm asking this thread for advice as to which game would be the most fun to watch.
>>140240021my region will get the Panthers vs Brahmas game but i'll try my best to get the webms from both games. i have a feeling the Defenders vs Stallions game is going to be the more entertaining one though
>>140240511Doubleheader gamebread
>>140240021I sounded off about it last week but will do so again: this league is too small and not popular enough to split the audience by double-booking a timeslot.
>next week is STL @ DCFuck that game's gonna be fun
>>140242345hell yeah
>>140245168Just a penis length away from a 1st down.
>>140245535thats from the roughnecks v panthers game. the reffies awarded them the 1st down
>>140172656Tick tock Michigay
>defenders>can't fucking defendlol
>>140249179I'm gonna be so upset when they beat the Hawks next week.
FS1 is replaying the Panthers @ Brahmas game if anyone missed it earlier
>>140249179It's literally all Williams fault
>I'll never understand how Gregg Williams will call for defenders to just.... not defend...
>Both teams that I needed to lose this week won>my team needed to win this to stay competitive, and of course is the only one that losesI fucking hate footballsee you assholes next week
Week 4 Standings. Stallions breaking away from everyone else. Battlehawks and Brahmas looking to be the XFL favorites while DC slips awayToiletbowl tomorrow
>>140249571My original prediction of "The USFL is a joke besides Birmingham and the XFL is a murderers row" looks pretty correct at the 2/5 mark.
>>140249571>Toiletbowl tomorrowroughnecks are gonna go on a 7 game win streak but still miss the playoffs
>>140249571Stallions are easily going to be the USFL rep for the UFL superbowl. Still pretty competitive in the XFL division, though that DC Defenders loss hurts. Still 6 games to go so not too bad, though if both Battlehawks and Brahmas win next week while DC loses again, its going to start to become extremely rocky for them. There's only 10 games in the season, every win matters, and every loss hurts massively.
>>140249860Next week is an all-conference week so there could be a massive swing in the XFL. Wouldn't be shocked if DC and Arlington both win. Michigan @ Memphis is going to be a probably dull but important game. Birmingham should beat Houston by 30.
>>140249457What the hell is even that
>>140249571Roughies 7-3 comeback starts tomorrow
I would've watched this league if nba/nhl playoffs weren't happening.
Okay, I am back in my hotel room after the unfortunate Fendies loss. I saw Coach Barlow, Fred Kaiss, Matt McCrane, and a handful of other players in the lobby this morning and met Kaiss’s wife during the rain delay. Nice lady, but she didn’t really give a fuck about football, lol. Atmosphere was very fun after the game resumed and dare I say it, Birmingham actually has soul. I was standing a few yards away from the shirtless hooligans and they were pretty good-natured, if a little annoying.
>>140250646And Gregg Williams wasnt there because he was just fired, right?
>>140250646Based. You should've joined them and taken your shirt off too, they were on the TV multiple times. The cameras love them
>>140250499>willingly watching the NBAGay
>>140233695>kek the guy that drank beer through his bird mask last year was in that last crowd shot with the beer can in his mouth
>>140250817this
>God would not allow the double header last nightJesus saves again
>>140261042Jesus better get the Zeus recharged for next weekend, because Saturday night is another double header. It's a rough pair too: 3-1 Brahmas and 4-0 Stallions against the contestants of today's Toilet Bowl.
>>140261153They are both outdoor games at least
>>140264667shitty looped version of that guy's head shaking

>>140267329One of the OL was talking shit saying "My HS louder than this!" on Xitter. lmao
>>140267452my roughnecks and the under will win and theres nothing anybody can do to stop it
>>140267548I look forward to an 8-6 slopdown
>>140268487>Takes out Cookus>Takes out FeeneyThe man can't be stopped
>>140269440So I was at the game, were there any good DeFilippouts this time? Or has he just resigned himself?
come relax with me in Texas Toiletbowl game thread >>140269474
>>140269497the only thing i remember him doing this game was him racing down the sideline to scream at a reffie for a time out
>>140245495>Do you have a pic of Etling's "PAIN" close-up during the foomble?
>>140269654KEK
Got back from church and just turned on the TV. How's the Toilet Bowl been going? Did I miss anything kino?
>>140271130theres been multiple turnovers. Renegades still leading 3-0
>>140271052hahahaha
>>140271130brother it's been the worst game of the week. you hardly missed a thing.
>>140271169Thanks for the update.>>140271193I felt like it could be the worst one, but I'm going to hold out that it's going to eventually get to meme levels of bad.
>>140271052iconic
>>140271392It's arguably already there. Two just awful turnovers, back to back batted passes at the goal line, everyone just looks bad. You can hear individual conversations in the stands.

>>140271775gold
>>140271775looks like its stuttering. lemme reopen my original webm and fix it for you
Is there already a UFL (United Football League) team that is already living under the shadow of a more successful, more winning, more beloved and more storied Major League Soccer team?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Football_League_(2024)#Teamshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Soccer#League_championships

Imagine being a Renegays fan. Getting embarrassed in the Toilet Bowl.
win #1 of the 7 game win streak
>>140277283lel
Thank fuck that is over
>>140277283>>140277546get your laughs in while you canwe'll see you in the championship
lol
Week 4 finished. How is (YOU)R team doing? Still got a chance? Or have you abandoned hope?Next week is the halfway point of the season. Time flies so fast.
>>140277825Honestly shocked at how close playoffs are. Barring a Birmingham collapse, spot #2 on the USFL side is wide open still. And Hawks/Brahmas/DC is still in the mix for XFL. I don't think Renegades can afford to lose any more games though.
>>140277283
>>140277825we have (1) win with 6 more on the way
>>140277825>Necks>botes>gaysAnd you're telling me they shut down the Seattle Sea Dragons and LA Wildcats for THAT?
>>140278134I didn't get to watch in 2020 but yeah Seattle is a real loss. Would happily trade a TX team for them
>>140278651they were bad offensively in 2020 but were still entertaining to watch because of Zorn's behavior on the sideline
Let Stoops go and have Luis Perez just be a player/coach
>>140278869hire Buckley and Woodson and make them co-HCs
>said on twitter he wants to come back Hire him. He'll be a straight up upgrade over half of the current QBs in the league
Funny how the Gades went from improving once they got Perez at the end of the regular season, to winning the championship, to 0-4.
>>140279155i don't remember their defense being this bad last season
>>140279230defense and o-line are garbage
>>140279230It was pretty bad, they just played some awful competition
Any other league bros here? Just got told I shouldn't expect to get paid again this month. Is my manager just messing with me?
>>140282079I had to have a private meeting with Danny before i got paid, though i got a lot more than the 5k they owed me...
>>140283729The gift that keeps on giving. God XFL2020 had such soul.
>>140283729kek diapies
>>140283946hope my roughnecks pick reggie back up at some time during the season. he was one of the guys they released when trimming the rosters down to 58 players
>>140277825Best offense in the league. Shame about the defense. Expect to lose 1-2 more games but hopefully win it all.
>>140282079Unironically one of the bigger Madden discords has a mod that works for the UFL and he was on tonight talking about the league. I missed the first 20 minutes or so he was on but this is what I remember from after I joined the voice channel, and others filled me in once he left.The real TV viewers for STL games are 300k, and every other game is just under 100k. The league and sponsors were "fine" with these, until a zoomer that's part of their social media team made a comment in a call saying he found it funny that his girlfriend easily gets 500k views per video on tiktok and is single-handedly beating the UFL in TV ratings by doing try-on hauls. This supposedly sent league admin (and sponsors!) down quite the rabbit hole, with sponsors wondering why the fuck they're funding a sports league when you can reach a wider audience for cheaper on Tiktok.A survey conducted before the season started revealed that Americans actively hate spring football (when the survey was conducted, UFL hadn't been announced yet) and not only do they go out of their way not to watch it, they are cheering for it to fail. The NFL is such an established cultural phenomenon that any attempts to usurp it or try something new are treated by the public with genuine anger, not apathy. It's basically on the level of the WNBA where Americans want it to implode as a giant "fuck you, I told you so."Good players don't actually want to play in spring leagues because they typically use the spring to rest and train for the upcoming NFL camps/season. It's not like basketball where the G-League serves a very real purpose; every play in American football risks a season-ending or career-ending injury due to the violence so it's not worth playing unless there is an NFL crest on your chest.There's more I just didn't wanna hit the char limit.
>>140288105cont.There were all kinds of plans to push Perez as the face of the league (King of Spring), but very quickly reality set in and pretty much everyone has realized the whole league is full of unpredictable, shitty players. They're going to pivot away from promoting key players to just showing random highlights and stressing the randomness of the games.There are several levels of contingency plans regarding team relocation or expansion. It's not a matter of "here are 4 cities we'd like to expand to" or "Seattle is coming back next season."There are also some truly weird models on the drawing board (think sponsored teams like Nascar). Imagine the Arlington Renegades get renamed to Team Progressive and the players have to do a one line ad-read about car insurance during their sideline interviews kinda like Nascar drivers after a race. The sponsors would also pay bonuses on top of the league salary if the team won.The combination of few fans and high quality on-field mics are a pretty grave concern because the players literally can't stop screaming racial slurs after every single play. Fox is particularly worried because during their Nascar coverage they constantly harp about Kyle Larson's n-bomb incident from a few years ago that got him banned for a year, but then the uneducated nogs are screaming it every fifteen seconds without repercussions in their football league just an hour later. They are really worried about sponsors connecting those dots and questioning why these players aren't also banned, to which they really have no justification beyond explaining that black folk have an n-word pass. There is an entire presentation deck on how the league and its' media partners should handle this topic when it arises kek.
>>140288344>There are also some truly weird models on the drawing board (think sponsored teams like Nascar). Imagine the Arlington Renegades get renamed to Team Progressive and the players have to do a one line ad-read about car insurance during their sideline interviews kinda like Nascar drivers after a race. The sponsors would also pay bonuses on top of the league salary if the team won.So this might ironically be the model they go with next year. There have been a few sponsored teams in recent memory so it's not unheard of.>LA Kiss [Arena Football]>Miami Hooters [Arena Football]>New York Red Bulls [Major League Soccer]The difference is supposedly "the city" wouldn't even be part of the team's identity, it would just be "Team Red Bull," "Team Walmart", etc.My best guess is that the league keeps Arlington, DC, St. Louis, and San Antonio in one division. The other division becomes the corporate teams, who perpetually play road games and are based out of Arlington. This would allow STL to have 6 home games instead of 4 next season.
>>140288105>The real TV viewers for STL games are 300k, and every other game is just under 100k.

>>140290705Keeps the thread alive.
>>140283729lmao
>open thread>remember I have to pick my Hawks shirt up from the post office
>>140292220Are they not reporting the numbers some weeks?
The S fits me perfectly.
>>140292992They didn't announce the numbers this week at the game I was at, but it was otherwise still reported, just not to the home crowd. Those are all the numbers, 4 games every week.
>>140292992There's no numbers to report for teams that don't play at home.
>>140290264
>>140293099Nobody watches that game though.
>>140293095Doh. Dont mind me, I’m stupid.
>>140293024Manlet
I have no idea what the fuck happened with attendance last week, but we're back to not awful levels as the Gades host the Brahmas.
>>140295471That courtesy does not extend to all teams, apparently. Nex are still dire.
>>140295471>>140295493Possibly the only real rivalry game in the UFL, DC is showing out for this one. They might have to open more seats.
>>140295471>>140295493>>140295514And rounding it out is the dilapidated egg that is Memphis. Shockingly this still might be their best attendance.
>>140288105>>140288344>>140288418Love the schizoposting, you're the best leaf.
>>140297522he’s really careless with the ball but I miss him as well
>>140297846He'd be the 2nd best QB in the league if he came back. Would make someone like the Panthers legitimately dangerous.
>>140297522I thought he was the best qb in the XFL last year. He had to force things because his team was so bad compared to DC+STL but he still made it work
>>140299393He had Gordon, Pearson, and Martavis Bryant. Lets not pretend like he was throwing to scrubs.
>>140299393lol what? he had good receivers and a pretty good defense. he forced a lot of passes because hes a gunslinger. its just who he is
>>140297936yup
JOKE LEAGUEMic drop,I'm out-

lmao>The XFL (now UFL) has no fines for late hits.>Every player on the team gets a bonus for winning the game.>The easiest way to do that, is to kill the opposing team's starting QBLeague-wide, sanctioned bountygate.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHejJnNHCKE
>>140303196>"come play in our spring developmental league guys!">"also, everyone is trying to give each other career ending injuries on every play for an extra $1000."
>>140303282nobody is going crazy for an extra $1000, leaf
>>140303196What would a fine even look like? A late hit is an 11k fine in the NFL, minimum yearly salary is 750k. So that's 62,500 a month, an 11k fine is 17% of their monthly pay. So for these guys that's what, a few hundred dollars? If that?

Comparing UFL to 23 XFL and USFL stats with "on pace for" arguments because I don't want to go to work tomorrow.>Passing TDsMcCarron is on pace for 20 TDs, which would be less than 23 XFL, and would match 23 USFL.>Passing yardsPerez is on pace for 2200 yards, way under both Ben DiNucci(2671) and McLeod Bethel-Thompson(2433)>Rush yardsJacob Saylors leads the league in YPG, with his numbers as they are now he would be at about 515 yards, a good bit below Wes Hills(679) and Abram Smith(788).>Rush TDsEJ Perry is averaging 1 per game, but assuming he can't go Ricky Person should end the year around 9 or 10. Less than Mark Thompson(14) but more than Abram/Deveon Smith(7)>Receiving YardsMarcus Simms at this rate should be around 700 yards by EOY, putting him ahead of Jahcour Pearson(670) and Corey Coleman(669)>Receiving TDsVinny Papale, Marcus Simms, and Marcell Ateman are all at 3 in 4 games, but I'll just say Simms here because Ateman hasn't scored in weeks and Papale is in a terrible situation. Lets say he ends up with 9, that's more than Jace Sternberger(7) and less than Hakeem Butler(10)>SacksCarlos Davis is a machine, on pace to hit ~14 sacks this year, more than Breeland Speaks(9) and Trent Harris(9.5) last year>INTKai Nacua is getting one every other game, so we'll put him at 5 on the year. That would be more than Mark Gilbert(4) and tied with Ajene Harris(5)
>>140292220lel Gaydes fans gave up
>>140304584that would be so embarrassing haha
>>140308354>Perez is on pace for 2200 yards, way under both Ben DiNucci(2671) and McLeod Bethel-Thompson(2433)Renegades are gonna bench Perez out of desperation at some point during the season even though it doesn’t look like he’s been the problem in Renegades’ 4 losses
>>140312404Probably, but nobody else is matching his numbers so far. Dormady would be way ahead but he's only got 1 game.
>>140312670How many yards did Garbers have in the first 3 games?
>>140313647586, just under 200 YPG
Ratings are in, Battlehawks streak of being most watched continues>Saturday April 20St.Louis-Memphis: (ABC): 954,000Birmingham-D.C/San Antonio-Michigan: (FOX): 951,000>Sunday April 21Arlington-Houston: (FS1): 243,000
>>140315525>951kBetween both gamesm kek
>>140315620Really just 1.5 games, with the Birmingham/DC game being moved to FS1.
>>140315525Divide the numbers by 3 for the real ratings.
Average UFL game is 110 plays total, average NFL game is 153 plays, average CFB game is 180 plays.Fastest team in the league is Birmingham, averaging 61 plays per game. Slowest is Houston, averaging 49.75.
>>140318294Yet it still feels like these games take forever
>>140315525For a little context on these, both Saturday games were top 10, but lost to NBA Countdown, Nascar, and every NBA playoff game. They did beat both NHL playoff games on TBS. The sunday game on FS1 beat basically nothing, but was FS1s highest rated programming that day, beating out Nascar Raceday Talladega and Bassmaster fishing.
>>140320908>but was FS1s highest rated programming that daylol hell yeah
>>140321626FS1 really does do just garbage numbers unless it's MLB playoffs.
>>140322145they dont get good numbers for college football?
>>140322163Highest ratings I found for FS1 last year college handegg is Nebraska @ OK State hitting 1.3 million. Most of those games run somewhere around 600k-1M. AKA absolute DOGSHIT for college football.
>>140323163That's what this league needs more of, deep shot chuck n fuck offense. Drives me crazy how many fucking screens the Battlehawks throw. "Oh but they're playing 2 deep!" I don't give a fuck nigger just throw the damn ball.
>>140323196>That's what this league needs more of, deep shot chuck n fuck offense.i agree. we'd probably see more of it if more of the teams had better o-line play. guys like Perry and Cookus barely have time to get off any passes at all it seems
>>140323482Perry has time he's just a retard who can't throw. Cookus is unfortunate though. He was always a dude who hung onto the ball too long, but those dudes were just turnstiles.
There should be promotion and relegation between NFL and UFL
made this last year but i dont think i ever uploaded it
>>140323944If a UFL team got even a single win against an NFL team it would be one of the biggest upsets of all time.
>>140324187if there was promotion and relegation, there wouldn't be "NFL teams" and "UFL teams"
>>140324205Yes there would. Lets say the Carolina Panthers go down and the Birmingham Stallions go up. The Panthers aren't getting rid of their players so they'll dominate the 2nd league, and the Stallions won't be able to replace every single player on their roster, so they'll lose every game.
>>140323781>mfw i have 3 time outs
>>140323781He's thinkin bout them eggs

As a New york Giants fan, I am excited for the NFL drafts. it a life changing night not only for the players but for the fans of the franchises. Funny how UFL will never expirence that, you guys are too busy drawing furry porn and bird porn.The NFL plays a big part in my life and my families. My Mom and I are going to get matching New York Giants tattoos. Funny how you can never see anyone with a UFL tattoo lol not real footballMy entire family is gonna get together tomorrow and watch the NFL draft. You UFL scumbags just sid in you moms basement and watch furry porn. NFL is real football
>>140333019What's the new tattoo, bud? Is it Danny Dimes?
>>140330410lol
Sounds like they're renovating Choctaw, making a lot of the concourse into storefronts.
>Darryl Johnston STILL doubling down on his kickoffI hate this nigger so much. At least he's acknowledging they did 0 marketing.
More IR shit: Scooby Wright retires after neck injury, Stallions punter to IR, Battlehawks bring in Steven Mitchell, he of special teams blocking fame on the fake punt last year.

>>140339054Damn. I really liked Wright when he was at Arizona

THIS IS CARL OF AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE, AND THIS IS MY STONE COLD LOCK OF THE CENTURY OF THE WEEK! The UFL season is in full swing and you know what that means, empty stadiums and $2 beers. No team hits those highs more than the Houston Roughnecks. Coach Skip Holtz is comin to town, and like his senile old father, he's gonna spit all over the place and weird everyone out. This 2 QB system is gonna end up with Matt Corral cryin to mommy again and leaving in the middle of the week, and Adrian Martinez is gonna do his best Danny Dimes impression and fumble the ball all over again. Houston was the last team to beat the Stallions and they did it thanks to the sheer weed infused determination of All USFL Runningback Mark Thompson. Thompson came back for the Roughnecks last week and ran all over Arlington....you know for 34 yards. But that was just his first game back, and CJ Johnson is gonna use all the knowhow he got from being with the Saints to pull this one out. That's why the Houston Roughnecks are Carl's STONE COLD LOCK OF THE CENTURY OF THE WEEK
I don't like the Brahmas. Being named after the rock is fucking soulless. That fucker isn't even from Texas. If the UFL wants me to care the Alamo city needs a team with a better name. I SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING FOR CONSIDERATION:>Alamo relatedRebelsDefendersGunnersGarrison>Mexican/Border cultureNarcosCoyotesTroubadours/TrovadoresVaqueros (Lul fuck the Cowsois)>Air ForceAirmenFlyboysFightersVipers >OtherCoyotes (The animal)Mocking Birds
>>140345347>Defendersi dont think it would be a good idea for 2/8 of the UFL teams to be named the Defenders
>>140345471Since when has anyone Defended DC? Civil War doesn't count since no one attacked it.
>>1403456281812?
Order came today :-)
>>140349465>Naming your team after a nothing burger sibling squabble from 200 years agoOddly soulful
>>140350477Just in time for the qb to be put on ir
>>140350574lel
>>140344507You’re joking but It could happen. The FREAKIN 0-6 Guardians handed the undefeated Defenders their only loss of the regular season last year. I’m not very optimistic though lol
>>140345347Cotoyes would be weird since the Spurs already use that for a mascot
>>140355396Only partially joking. I'm legit curious how this goes since nobody has been able to run on the Ponies.
>>140356540My roughnecks are gonna have to win it with meme plays like deflected INTs for TDs and Martinez turnovers. I have a feeling they won’t get anywhere with the run game
>>140356540Stallions are beatable
>>140290264>He doesn't recognize the kino of corporate sponsored sports teamsNot that anything we get could be as soulful as the Nippon Ham Fighters or the numerous DQ Blizzard hockey teams but it would be great to watch them try
>>140362850For me it's IBM Big Blue
>>140345347Vaqueros is actually pretty sovl, but I almost feel like they should be further south for that. There's probably no where to play but make 'em the Rio Grande /Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros.
Is the UFL gonna have a draft at some point?
>>140364598I know the USFL had a draft and the XFL planned a draft before the merger, so probably. They just need to do themselves a favor and pick from the previous years rookies. So the UDFAs of 2024 should be UFL draftees. If you try to draft a guy this year, say someone like Rocky Lombardi or Frank Gore Jr, you run the risk of them laughing at you publicly and saying "I'll never play for that league" like the USFL had happen when the Stallions drafted Malik Cunningham.
>>140367059I want to blame Corral for this but it looks like 81 doesn't know what the play is.
>>140367630yeah he ran right into the hand off lol
/nfl/ going wild. Michael Penix, wow.
>>140370118yeah i saw. falcons just paid a shitload of money for a FA QB too lol
Honestly XFL should have let USFL fucking drown, I hate looking at USFL teams
>>140372376Have to agree. The USFL side brings nothing to the table aside from 2 good locations. They haven't shown up for any fucking games, but Birmingham and Memphis both absolutely work for spring football locations.
>>140223633>>140225232>>140234280kino
>>140372376the only good thing about the USFL is the TV deal it had
>>140373487Wasn't even that good, the 2020 XFL I feel like had a better deal.
>>140372376fr fr ong
>>140372376Yup. The USFL side has been severely disappointing. I genuinely don't understand why XFL sacrificed half of it's team just to merge with them. XFL was kicking USFL's asses in just about every category. There is zero reason to be playing at these USFL stadiums that cannot even get over 9,000 people in the seats
>>140380405>XFL was kicking USFL's asses in just about every category.Except sponsorships. Nobody would advertise with the XFL
>>140380405they should have just kept all the XFL teams and coaching staffs besides Vegas, replace the Vipers with the Stallions and let the remaining XFL teams draft the from the pool of players from the 7 discontinued USFL teams. Keep the XFL rules from 2023
Attendance autism, get your hot fresh attendance autism
as much heat as the USFL is getting in this thread, i do find XFL vs USFL games somehow more excitingnot as excited with this week's games because of the intra-conference nature
>>140386934Man this is the one week we've got an actual rivalry game. DC vs STL is gonna be a chimpout.
lmao, watching a podcast, Ric Serritella is on bitching about the management and confirms that the USFL is in charge of the league and they're bungling everything.
>>140387155The league was better with McMahon and Luck in charge. Thanks a lot, China.
>>140387475Yeah, having an actual plan, marketing, actually going through with innovation. It's crazy what doing the basics will lead to.
>>140363265Eh. Valley Vaqueros got some nice alliteration. I don't think it's a big enough market down there desu.
Week 4 TOTWhttps://www.pff.com/news/ufl-week-4-pff-team-of-the-week-player-awards-2024

i lost power in the middle of uploading webms lol
>>140400331
>>140400331>>140400413i wonder if anyone got a good photo of that right when the sweat just explodes.
>>140400750That would imply the UFL allows reporters. It's shockingly hard to get credentials for this league.
>>140400872why is that? wouldn't it benifet the league more to let people do that sort of stuff?
>>140400923Yeah you'd think. My headcanon is they only want "legitimate" places talking about them but no legitimate sports journalist gives a fuck. They're too busy with everything else going on.
>>140400750i wouldnt be surprised if the UFL put it in their weekly highlight reals

Going to see my gades after the rags game is done
Gades fans we’re already tailgating when we arrived!
>>140416891>>140416965Based. Hopefully better attendance and result than 2 weeks ago.
>no midafternoon game>two 7 PM games gay as fuck, these doubleheaders will kill the league.
>>140421291pretty sure after tonight theres only one more doubleheader in week nine. Both the Defenders vs Showboats and Panthers vs Roughnecks games will be broadcast at the same time on Sunday
>>140421291Blame the draft
think they should start earlier next season like the xfl did last season?
>>140421433You are correct. Also only 6 cable games left, and 0 FS1 games.
>>140421583that should help viewership
>>140417895>make great play>die>"QUICK GET THE TOWELS!"
>>140418588ArrivedGame 2 of the 2 game challenge. Gonna watch me nanas later
>>140421513no, starting later was one of the better choices, theoretically it means more asses in seats because the weather's nicer.that hasn't actually shaken out, but it makes for nice broadcast footage.
Did the UFL finally invite a high school team?
Figured out the ID of the bud that I saw earlier. They’re Okies!
Attendance is bad bros…UFL I’m in right field if you want me to help sell tickets next season!
