sven233 Posted March 30 Posted March 30 (edited) Spring football has been around off and on the last few years as we all know. But this year, the XFL and USFL have merged in an effort to put better football on the field and the league is kicking off with the XFL Champs vs the USFL Champs from last season. Kickoff is about ready to happen. Who knows what the quality of football will end up being with the merger of leagues, but it might be worth a look if you are having a football craving. There are some very familiar names in the league and they will obviously have presentation features that the NFL doesn't, but may someday.....who knows. Edited March 30 by sven233 Quote
jkeerie Posted March 30 Posted March 30 So far the game isn't bad. Not sloppy, penalty ridden fare that you usually get. 3 Quote
Steptide Posted March 30 Posted March 30 They really need to get rid of running the ball in this league. Actually, I'd get rid of punting too, just turn over on downs if an offense can't score or get a 1st down Quote
Low Positive Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Marquette King and Vic Beasley are playing in this game. Quote
JJGauna Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Nice 50+ yard touchdown and 2 point conversion by Arlington. Quote
Low Positive Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Taco Charlton, one of the all-time draft busts that no one talks about, is playing for Birmingham. 1 Quote
sven233 Posted March 30 Author Posted March 30 Both teams have moved the ball. Both have turned it over when trying to score. The football actually hasn't been terrible overall. For us football junkies that just need a fix, I for one am glad it's on. Hoping the league can continue to grow and develop. Theoretically, the talent should be better this year on teams because there is only one league and not two to dilute the talent pool. But yeah....it's good to have football. I guess I forgot that they no longer have the XFL kickoff which I was looking forward to watching, but I like that they have a kickoff that more resembles a traditional kickoff. Hopefully it's safe and maybe an option for the NFL in the future. 4 Quote
Roundybout Posted March 30 Posted March 30 I'm surprised Luis Perez hasn't stuck as a backup somewhere. Quote
K D Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Who cares? They never gave us a reason to watch. I couldn't name 1 player. Missed opportunity Quote

Jeffalo Posted March 30 Posted March 30 If you close your eyes when McCarron snaps the ball you can hear Josh... White 80, white-set Quote
Don Otreply Posted March 30 Posted March 30 So in other words, what y’all are saying is that the product is mediocre at best…, Quote
Mr. WEO Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Listening to McCarron in the huddle (announcing “no snap. no play”) is comically painful Quote
Motorin' Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Watching the Battle Hawks play the Panthers, reminds me of a late season game between two NFL South teams with a combined 3-24 record. Quote
