Literally half the leagues’ 8 teams are playing in AAC home stadiums this spring. Plus, the first game in Arlington this afternoon is next door to where the AAC holds our media days.

The big USFL+XFL merger could be as big as the old AFL/NFL merger.

Or even the Old Big East / CUSA merger!

Who ya like?

Today:
Birmingham at Arlington
St Louis At Michigan
Sunday(Easter):
DC at San Antonio (Alamodome)
Memphis at Houston (Rice Stadium)

Let’s get ready to rumble!

I like what ESPN is doing in their app.

Listing scores & schedules primarily by nickname.

This is how you market what’s a small somewhat regional league to a nation of football-starved viewers.

Two time zones and 3/8 teams in Texas.

Prediction: Michael Aresco will be the next commissioner.

Yesterday’s historic first day:
Defending (XFL) champs Arlington Renegades toppled at home by the Birmingham Stallions.
Michigan Panthers edge the BattleHawks.

ESPN midday Easter Double Header from Roadrunners’ and (Rice)Owls’ home fields starts at noon ET 11am CT.

It was on FOX at the bar last night alongside the Rangers/Cubs.

It’s gonna be a thing.

...yeah, I wish they would have kept Houston as the Gamblers - I guess Roughnecks is ok, but that sounds like a Canadian League team... ...and perhaps with the 'fine line' of the Betting World and athletes, sorta like, oh, I don't know... Ohtani... that the UFL decided to avoid anything 'directly' insinuating the players are wagering (although wagering by anyone else is obviously a MAJOR part of the draw...)

Houston is probably the one whose logo looks like a falling H and not the one whose logo looks like an M.

Yikes, Memphis leads the home standing team playing on the Rice campus by the same 15-3 score that Wichita recorded yesterday in the facility just next door.

:/

clt says that was easy money, going to donate to Rice baseball

6-18 the Roughnecks comeback is on, need to mix in a TD or two however.

12-18 now, let’s go HOUSTON beat MEMPHIS

Houston did not finish the comeback.

But teams playing their home games in AAC stajiums went 2-0 against those not. Yay Birmingham & San Anton!
