I realize this is poor soccer as far as the world is concerned, but I just can't get myself into it unless it's my local team. So for me this truly marks the return of sports.

Also can't wait until USL finally settles in. Would I rather Birmingham be in MLS? Yeah, obviously, but I can at least take solace in the fact that they're in the same league as Tampa, Indy, Louisville, Memphis, etc. Just need to drop the MLS farm teams (or at least set them up for pro/rel with League One) and the exurb clubs (i.e. Loudoun) and USL will be in good shape.

I'm just glad to be able to watch a local team on tv tonight and also glad Memphis is once again playing Birmingham. Such natural rivals that go back to the WFL days of the 70's. Remember Tim Howard is our goalie, and part owner. Does the Legion play their home games in the Barons stadium?

Same here, and on ESPN2. The Legion renovated UAB's soccer stadium, and also gave some design input for the new football stadium so I imagine they'll play a couple of games there every year.
