GDAWG

It's not a good sign for the team's future when at the press conference to announce the team this morning, there were audio issues: You couldn't hear what anyone was saying at all. Only the video packages had audio.

Sigh.....this was a chance for Fort Worth to have their name attached to a major league sports team. This was a lost opportunity.

They should have been the Fort Worth Panthers, because they are Fort Worth's lone Major league team. Every other team is either "Dallas" despite playing in Arlington (Cowboys), Dallas (Mavericks and Stars) and Frisco (FC Dallas) or Texas (Rangers who play in Arlington). Lost opportunity there.

A totally stupid move by the NAL:

The Louisville Xtreme, who just got kicked out of the NAL is now in the IFL: https://goifl.com/sports/fball/2019-20/releases/20201106n2tgn8

Not related to uniforms but logos for the bowl games:

Yeah. However, there's no guarantee that any of these leagues will be playing in 2021 if the state of COVID in America is the same as it is now. I believe if none of the leagues play in 2021, it will be the end of all of these leagues.

Indoor League updates: Indoor Football League: In the middle of Free Agency right now. They intend to play in 2021, but without the Oakland Panthers or Quad City Steamwheelers, both of whom are dormant for 2021 with every intention of returning in 2022. They expect to announce their schedule soon, but that seems overly optimistic. I would think that the future of the IFL and the sport in general would be in serious doubt if they don't play in 2021. National Arena League: West Virginia Steamwheelers are dormant for 2021 and plan on coming back for 2022. They kicked two of their newest expansion teams, The Louisville Xtreme (who's ownership group features former NFL QB Chris Redman) and Tampa Bay Tornadoes yesterday. They too are in the middle of free agency and have every intention on playing in 2021, but like the IFL, I think Indoor football is in serious jeopardy of being extinct if none of the leagues play in 2021. Champions Indoor Football: They added a team called the Wyoming Mustangs. A few weeks ago, they released their schedule for 2021, which sounds too optimistic for me. Like the IFL and NAL, they are in the middle of free agency. America West Football Conference: Added a new team called the Oregon High Desert Storm. Like the IFL, NAL and CIF, they plan on playing in 2021 and are in the middle of free agency. American Arena League: Also expects to play in 2021. In conclusion, these leagues seem optimistic that they will play in March/April 2021. These leagues better hope that they are able to play in 2021 or I don't think the sport survives.

What would the mascot be for Gastonia Uppercuts? A boxer doing an uppercut?

I think this is a smart move since we can assume that normalcy will be back in 2022 and I don't think they want to come back in 2021 playing in empty stadiums. They set 2022 with the assumption that fans will be back in full swing.

The Stars Current owner Tom Gaglardi is nothing like Cuban and Jones.

the NBA might consider it and the two new NBA teams will probably be Seattle and Las Vegas, which is what I don't want but it's inevitable that the NBA is next for Vegas after NHL and NFL.

Gotcha. So they are keeping their D2 sports.

Don't they have basketball?

So has the transfer window been moved back due to the late resumption of the Euro leagues?

Nobody.

The thing is that if it's "conference only in College football" this fall, Liberty (as well as UMass, BYU, New Mexico State, UConn and Army as well. Notre Dame would probably be ACC in that situation) would have to go into one of those two conferences for a year if they want to play in 2020

There are a few switching conferences in FCS or moving up to FCS from Division II but I don't believe there's none moving from FCS to FBS at the moment.

And that's not happening.

North Dakota State would not be a fit in the MAC. They would be the farthest team from everyone else if that happened. Right now the Western most school in the MAC is Northern Illinois. If the MAC wants to add more schools, they'll take them from the Missouri Valley Conference.

That is what I will call it from now on.

Indiana University- Purdue University Indianapolis is quite a confusing name for a university.

If MLB comes back without any fans, it will basically be business as usual for the Rays.

Sideline reporter for today's Dallas vs. New York Game, Saints All Pro DE Cameron Jordan looks quite dapper in a suit.
