Hubby keeps saying this league is a marketing fail, and I cannot disagree. Do a 2-4-1 ticket sale, donate a bunch of tickets to some kids group for home games, etc. Do something, anything, to get bodies in the stands so it looks like the locals are somewhat interested.
My comments on the Birmingham game: that 4th and 12 instead of an onside kick is interesting. I saw one converted (yesterday? last week? time gets distorted when you are old), and it is pretty exciting. It is certainly better than an onside kick in the NFL right now.
