I would like to see the UFL and the USFL work with one another and build a strong enough base for survival of both.

If playing in spring or fall is a problem than do something as simple as a coin flip to determine when game play should take place. Personally I would love to have a legit football season in the spring. The wait between the end of the NFL season and it's return are hard to bare. Baseball and basketball are not enough. Anyhow this is just my thoughts on it. The USFL was short lived but quite original and fun. If people without huge egos don't get involved it can slowly grow into a strong league that furnishes the NFL with players who get better under game conditions. The talent would only be a slight bit less than the NFL. I hope this league will at least get in touch with those thinking of resurrecting the USFL. Great minds coming together could really benefit both organizations.

Just me thinkin' outloud (again lol) wrote on February 06, 2009 06:13 PM: ....For all of you that think that Pro and Semi-Pro Football is a flub because Sam Boyd Stadium is out in the middle of "BFE", why is it UNLV never has that problem when Wisconsin, Hawaii, and BYU is in town,... always a great turnout....And why is it that the racetrack is all the way up by "BFE" appex and doesn't experience that problem during NASCAR? Believe me if people come to this town wanting somethin' bad enough, they know where to go get it....been that way forever...

I may actually go to a game for this 'pro' team just to see Fassel. But I dont expect much.

This is the first I've heard of this. Whats the name of the team? Wheres the schedule? Who are the players? Horrible advertising.

I mean seriously, who would waste their money on a new football league? The Arena League is half owned by ESPN and even they took a year off for lack of interest.
