    Just saw our Will Hill disqualified from Arlington for two bad hits. :oops:
    This safety was part of our 2009 BCS National Championship team.
    Born March 7, 1990, he previously played for the Giants and Ravens.
    Too bad Orlando sucks (1-7) with Shane Matthews as their QB coach.

    “Anyone watching the XFL”… sounds like the opening bit of a joke

    The St Louis crowd really seem to love their team.

    Sure, I catch a game or two over a weekend. Looks good on the ESPN+ app.

    Had to turn off one game where the officials called something every single play. Total camera hogs.

    I watched the first half of the Vegas St Louis game- it was entertaining - then one of my Grands was running thru their house and tripped and busted her lip(lots of blood) so we met her Mother (Daughter number 3-child number 4) at the ER

    I've caught some portions of XFL games. Some interesting rules as well as some irritating broadcasting.

    I have. With the distinct feeling that I should be ashamed and embarrassed that I am watching it but more so that I know all these players and where they went to school

    I've watched a few minutes of it. One thing I did learn is that Orlando's team sucks.

    Football fans in St Louis are having a great time. Ticket are priced so normal people can afford them. It's not another rich man's pastime a d there's plenty of activity you would expect before or after a game. It's working and after being jacked around by Kroenke and the NFL upgrade rules it's a good thing .

    I like it. Some of the different rules are nice. I like the various extra point tries, makes for interesting come back possibilities.

    USFL is supposed to start soon also.

    I live in the St. Louis area and the fans here are loving the Battlehawks. A lot of people were not happy when the team played an April fools joke with the following official twitter post.

    “Following a vote from XFL owners, the Battlehawks have been officially approved to relocate to the greater Los Angeles area and will do so for the 2024 season.

    St. Louis is a city known for its incredibly hard-working, passionate, and proud people. Bringing the XFL back to St. Louis in 2023 will go down as one of the proudest moments in our league’s history. This move isn’t about whether we love St. Louis or its fans,
    but rather about what is in the best interest of the Battlehawks organization.

    We would like to thank the XFL, its owners, and all of Battlehawk Nation for their diligence and dedication, and we look forward to building a world-class franchise in Inglewood.

    Let's just say there were some pissed off people around the St. Louis area.

    Well, the USFL starts back up this weekend and I think they have a better product.
