Each team is assigned schools from their region and NFL teams to pick from. Our team was assigned all of the Tennessee schools, Mississippi, and LSU and a couple of NFL teams. Birmingham ham got all of the Alabama schools, and Mississippi State for their talent pool.

OK, I like that. Who got the piggies? (if anybody wanted the piggies)

Who are our NFL teams, Titans? Saints? Chiefs? Colts?
Mettenberger was drafted by the Titans, I'm pretty sure, but he might have been in due to LSU. I guess I could look up who drafted Hackenburg (-berg?).

Singletary =Tubby just so happy to be paid for laziness

I would love to see Reilly Ferguson play for the Express. But I would hate to see him get killed.

We basically have half of the SEC allocated to us(LSU, Arkansas, Vandy, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee). You were pretty spot on with the NFL tie ins except replace the Chiefs with the Bengals.

For a guy with a history of such intensity...

Two things about the AAF that’s already better than the NFL and one thing that will be better than the NFL once it actually get played on:

1. The pace of the game is the best thing happening, these games are clocking around 2:30 or less; the NFL needs to consider implementing this as soon as they can to speed up the game like a shorter play clock. I know the major networks showing NFL games depends on tv timeouts for advertisers so they will have to have some unlike no tv timeouts for the AAF but there has to be a way to reduce those timeouts. Too much standing around

2. Viewers get to see and hear the instant replay process as it’s happening and the official doesn’t drag their feet in making a decision; although the guy in the Memphis vs Birmingham game blew the catch call

3. It hasn’t happened yet but during the regular season each team gets possession of the football in OT to score with a TD. It can still result with a tie game if both teams score or don’t score but at least it gives both sides a chance. Wished that KC had a chance against NE in the OT playoff. Now it’s good that it’s not like college where you can have 8 OTs and endless OTs but I would like the NFL to adopt something similar with maybe like a limit of 2-4 OTs and if neither team canbscore or they do score then it’s a tie

It was a stupid idea for the football Tigers, we changed directions and whaLa , more wins and more fans! I think our CFL team tried to grind it out (relatively speaking).

26-0

O Points When the rules are setup to score?

Mike Singletary? Can't win with him!

Disagree about length of games----people pay good money to be entertained----I don't like football games lasting the same amount of time as movies---3 hour plus games are fine to me.

I hate MEMPHIS has to settle for what amounts to as NFL farm team---after trying years to get a real team---I hope I am wrong but I don't think it will fly in MEMPHIS.

The average real time game play of a NFL game is around 12 minutes. There’s simply no entertainment value in constant waiting around between regular timeouts, tv timeouts and long play clock time. What’s so entertaining about that?

Agree Mike. it's great to get the actual game times down to a reasonable amount. It'd be great if college came off the 25 minute halftime. The NFL has it right at 12 minutes. I love college football, but budgeting 4 hours (at least) out of your day to attend is asking a lot. At least the AAF realizes that. I'm sure I'll make a couple of their games. Pro football, even at a lesser level, is incredibly appealing.

I don't look at it as a farm team. Sure, everybody on the team is hoping to move up to the NFL, but this business model has its place in cities that probably can't spare the millions and millions to support an NFL team. It will be a downer to the fans though for players to develop into studs and give the team hope, then go to the NFL for the next season.

The Express is going to need a much more competent showing in the next few games or a lot of people won't bother.
