Any United Football League fans on here?

Go Wheeling Ironmen!

Las Vegas Locos! Omaha Nighthawks! I know there's only 4 teams in the league (I hope that changes soon with major expansion), those are my two favorites.

I see they have a TV deal with CBS SN. First game's on the 26th of this month. I'm looking forward to it.

I wouldn't expect too much from the first or second game, these guys were just signed this week so it's basically a pickup version of "pro" football. But anyways, LETS GO NIGHTHAWKS!

I'd read on their website that several cities were either inquiring or seriously pushing for a UFL franchise...Some of the cities mentioned: Portland, Salt Lake City, San Antonio. I heard the games were well attended in their current venues. Birmingham's name was thrown out there but no serious rumbles or even rumors about that here. As much as I'd like to see a team here, people here are cynical now about 2nd-Tier professional leagues, but with no major league prospective ownership, infrastructure or high-octane fan base in place here, what do they expect? Birmingham had one, perhaps 2 legitimate chances at getting an NFL team, but blew them both, although one of them was not necessarily the city's fault (see the USFL).

Game on tonight! Nighthawks & Locos!!! Be sure to catch it.

Locos beat the brakes off of Omaha the other night. Watching the Mountain Lions play the Destroyers in Virginia now. No score yet.

Caught some of a game that had Sacramento as a team. Wonder what SACTOWN needs to do to get some legit football as their CFL, WLAF, and I believe they had a XFL team have seem to have come and gone. I don't recall there ever being a USFL team there.
