I can't beleive those morons thought anyone was going to pay that price for a minor league event. I wanted to go to game or two, but I was not going to pay over ten dollars or sit in the upper deck of Neyland. The league's marketing was terrible as well. I still can't figure out why they never released the uniforms. I was hoping Quincy Carter would get kicked out of another league though.

Should have put that Michigan franchise and maybe even Texas somewhere in the Southeast. I was all set to care the moment they added a South Carolina team.

Can you imagine the mind-blowing QB battle for the Florida team. I would put my money on Brock Berlin, but Thad Busby and Chris Rix would make it interesting. Do you think Ingle Martin would be eligible? What about Dan Kendra playing the 2006 Tim Tebow role? Mind-blowing stuff.

The whole "take a bunch of alumni from one school who couldn't hack it in the NFL and put them all on the same team" idea was pioneered six years ago by Steve Spurrier when he became coach of the Redskins. And then, just as now, it was merely a massive shipment of FAIL. Shouldn’t we have known this wasn’t going to work, though?

Like basketball or baseball for example. Granted they are not as inherently as good a sport but it leaves you wanting more. And that's a good thing. Kind of like sexual tension in a sitcom. You want it to happen but the fact that it doesn't keeps you wanting more and if it does happen you immediately lose interest. Not saying Alabama and Tennessee in June wouldn't have been great though. Not to be a kill joy, but I think part of the reason we like football soooo much is because we aren’t over saturated with it.
