Just reiterating... They plan to return. To what though

Hard to have 3 schools grouped together to be outliers. They most likely will schedule travel to all three for all sports and make it cost effective.

Deus Ex Machina Virus. Keeps him sick just long enough until they need him to play.

Toronto, Milwaukee, Denver... we've had a good run three of the past five years having new teams win it all. Other than Lakers and Warriors, that is.

Not a Leafs fan but was rooting for them to win this series. What a gut punch. Give up the equalizer and THAT is the fortuitous bounce of the puck that benefits your opponent and you lose early in OT.

Not just the Stallions, but Birmingham in general for non-NFL, non-collegiate football: 1974 WFL - Birmingham Americans 22, Florida Blazers 21 1975 WFL - Birmingham Vulcans (9-3, declared champs when league folded) 1983 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (9-9) 1984 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (14-4, Conference Championship Runner-Up) 1985 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (13-5, Semifinalist) 1995 CFL - Birmingham Barracudas (10-8, lost in Division Semifinal) 2000 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9) 2001 XFL - Birmingham Thunderbolts (2-8) 2001 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (12-4, lost in first round) 2002 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (11-5, lost in conference final) 2003 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9) 2004 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (10-6, lost in first round) 2005 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (2-14) 2006 AF2 - Birmingham Steeldogs (7-9) 2007 AF2 - Alabama Steeldogs (7-9, lost in first round) 2019 AAF - Birmingham Iron (5-3) 2022 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (Stallions 33, Philadelphia Stars 30) 2023 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (Stallions 28, Pittsburgh Maulers 12) 2024 USFL - Birmingham Stallions (6-0 currently) Even if you want to discount the indoor/arena game, that's 4 titles in 10 outdoor seasons. And 3 on-field titles in eight full seasons.

No. Because he sold their future for a fairytale. They existed solely on a few expansion fees being paid full price and the carrot on the end of the stick that the NFL was going to buy the league and magically make it profitable. Is the same reason he's booted from the Hall of Fame after the disaster that became of the HOF Village.

Still need to do one on C David Baker and how he destroyed the original AFL first

Aren't the beer snake seats the cheapest? Not like they have to worry about people sneaking into a better section without paying. I just don't get the insistence in killing the one genuinely beloved novelty that was created... And it sells a TON of beer to grow it. Why would you be against it as a venue?

Double post...

Doesn't go into effect yet

They pretty much fly from DFW to whichever venue is hosting the game. Where they fly too isn't as big a factor when you figure it's only 5 games a year would be Seattle instead of to Houston.

Hate to say it but a combination of things have made Houston troublesome this year. Might have been better to have them sit out the first year of UFL and go with Seattle instead.

Not to tangent, but the way FIFA is going with the World Cup, it's going to be about every 20 years or so North America will get the games again. They're to the point even Europe and the Americas are having multi-country hosts. It's going to start rotating between The Americas, Europe, Asia/Oceania, and back with consistency since they're not going to keep finding the Qatars, South Africas, or Brazils of the world going into nation-changing debt to build the stadiums for one event and then sit vacant and dilapidated in short order.

The NFL already got rid of that rule. They don't bid out hosting anymore. They just pick where they want. Allegiant Stadium only held 61k for the Super Bowl.

That game is what brought us hashmarks. Also the field was 80 yards long so they kept 'moving the chains' back 20 yards after a team reach midfield to make them go the additional 20 they were missing. Prior to this game, the ball was spotted where a player went down at. If they went out at the sideline, the ball was put in play along the sideline. The narrow field meant teams could 'move the ball away from the wall' at Chicago Stadium (they also gave up a down to do this). The next year the NFL codified it as the rule, and the ball could only be spotted inside the hashmarks. No matter how far wide a player was tackled.

The league will survive. How many teams do is the big question.

That's not uncommon with minor league teams. Saves them a lot and costs them just two season tickets usually.

Triangles are usually used in maps to denote mountains.

Cardinals were playing a home game that afternoon. 41k there. 31k at the BattleHawks game. And technically you could have left the 1130am BattleHawks game and gotten into the Cards game about halfway through from their 130pm first pitch. But it was also free full zip jacket day at Busch for the first 25k fans. St. Louis had a reason their fan support was so high. Same as Baltimore in the CFL USA debacle. Ufl/xfl/USFL should've done everything they could to get teams in Oaklandand San Diego and played into the same anti-nfl sentient that has presented itself in St. Louis.

I think the ramifications still reverberating from covid has soured people much more on any wealthy person insisting that government money to help them when those people voting aren't feeling like they're doing well at all. The Eat The Rich attitude is alive and well right now.

Lake Charles Landsharks would like a word with you. Wonder if Carolyn Shiver was shopping for a team.

Oilers to Titans. They had already moved and just then wanted a new identity to start fresh. Coyotes and Cardinals changed from Phoenix to Arizona for marketing purposes. Though that wasn't nicknames. California Angels to Anaheim Angels to Los Angeles Angels didn't change nicknames but certainly changed their names just because they felt like it.

Never heard the mountains near slc called the rockies. They're the Wasatch Mountains. They might be part of the overarching chain of mountains through the continent but they're never referred to as such.
