San Antonio Brahmas in the fourth quarter: 20-3 scoring in the fourth quarter!!!

Watching Brahmas at Showboats, it's interesting that they are not using drones. They're going with the skycam. So far, Arlington and Houston are using drones, but no one else who's hosted games. Brahmas have been their own worst enemy. 6 penalties on 3rd down kept Showboat drives alive today.

I'm glad the Browns didn't go with the tan design. It's like trying to put two different shades of brown together and it doesn't work.

One of their potential nicknames was Copperheads, I think that would have been an interesting rebrand as well.

I think any updates would probably be closer to the 2020 version, but I would think this is just the next evolution of the derrick. I almost wish that the UFL had flipped the colors for Arlington/Dallas and Houston but with the NFL throwing out lawsuits left and right, it wasn't going to happen. I like this recolor, I just wonder if they'd have Luv Ya Blue helmets as well as the white helmets now.

I wasn't even aware Melissa Stark was there. I obviously don't watch NFL Network enough, though. IT only came back to DirecTV Streaming before the start of the season.

I was hoping to hear this! I know Orlando fans want their slash through numbers as well. Not sure if that happens this year, or they wait until next year.

The Orlando Predators and Philadelphia Soul have released their home uniforms. Looks like all AFL teams will be using a standard number font based on other leaked jerseys that have been seen on multiple social platforms.

He false started at least 3 times as well, from what I saw at the game. That false start that was finally challenged cost them 6 points, then cost them an interception to seal the win for the Brahmas. In the NFL he's probably sitting 4-6 games for spitting, and in a league with only 10 games it's easier to get rid of him and let another team take the risk on him later if they need an offensive lineman. I also think he was a repeat offender during the game based on some of the hot mic conversations during the game.

In a move that surprised no one . . .

Looks like the Texans are going all in on the Super Bowl this year.

It worked as a gimmick for Texas Tech. But with three Texas teams, it looks pretty silly. I'm also not a fan of asymmetric helmet designs like the numbers on one side and the logo on the other.

Iowa State with new jerseys. Striping looks like the Browns jersey with the current ISU number font. Fans are hoping the fourth jersey is yellow.

That was the USFL model, where for year one (2022) all teams played in Birmingham and Canton. For year two (2023) four cities shared space for 2 teams each. The XFL used one location for practice facilities, but each team played in it's actual home market, so they are not considered "hub cities".

Exactly! I love seeing the beer snake at Defenders games, and I'd like to see some other organic fan made celebration for each team that gets it's own short video like Apple TV/MLS did for last year's MLS coverage prior to the season.

Talking with a coworker, apparently he sat where DC fans were last year for the championship because he said they upped the security in his area due to people throwing things on the field last year. Hahahahaha!!! I was disappointed to see no lemons this time out.

I was surprised by how often Michigan was able to get in the backfield. The main reason they probably called it was because De Le Haye missed the FG attempt by a good bit. But I'll take 6 over 3 any day. I'd be interested to see how the Stallions look if they decide to keep the 2 QB setup and Martinez doesn't get injured. Personally, I'd go with Corral as the primary until he can't go.

Hard to see, but there are the Brahmas jerseys, top center, with the UFL patches on them. This wasn't a patch on top of the old XFL logo, they were stitched on the same as last year's jerseys.

I think if this game had been the 3PM game, they could have gotten more fans, but not much more beyond 15,000. Houston was hurt by the look of poor weather and an older stadium, but hopefully those numbers improve too. I was walking back to the garage from the stadium and some people were like, "they played today"? I will say that the ads are much more prevalent than last year so hopefully we see 15,000-18,000 for the next home game. It's against St. Louis so I'd expect to get to 15,000 easily. The team today was much more energetic than last year. Not losing half the OL this time probably helps. Having a coach that's more willing to go for it, even on 4th and 3 on our side of the field feels so much better.

I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I'll try posting pics later, but the Brahmas did have home jerseys available. They are last year's supplier still, but had numbers 1 & 24 available, and had the UFL logo on them. https://i.imgur.com/KkwqC8t.jpg

I think how the lighting is used in the stadium doesn't help either. In the corners it's pretty bright, but in the center of the field the lights don't cover as much.

Looking at the stands, I'd say San Antonio is between 12,500 and 14,000 today. That first drive woke up some of the crowd though.
