[Q729]

The uniforms look pretty good in this Memphis game, even if they do look like a palette swap.

 

[CGI_Ram]

I don’t get the early game. Grr.

I get the next game.

 

[Q729]

Both games have the home team in their actual market today.

Former 3rd round pick for the Packers Sternberger doesn't look to be cooperating with the Stallions coaching right now.

 

[CGI_Ram]

One nice thing about the USFL season so far… Worse record is 2-4, so every team has won multiple games. Nobody “stinks”.

Todays first game is a match up of the first place teams in both divisions.

 

[Q729]

Yeah, last week I was hoping for every North division team to be 2-3. Now there's a chance they could all be 2-4 by the end of the day. So every team could still be alive for the playoffs with only 3 weeks left.

I meant 4 weeks left. Which is basically still half the season. So plenty of time. lol

 

[Q729]

C'mon, Generals. Get your heads out of your asses. Hate one-sided games I'm not invested in.

I don’t get the first game on TV here, but I get the rest.

 

[Q729]

I don’t get the first game on TV here, but I get the rest.

You're not the only one always in this situation either. The ratings are abysmal when the games are stuck on USA and FS1.

So which games have been better?

XFL or USFL?

 

[CGI_Ram]

I have enjoyed the USFL. Where I live, I only saw 1-2 XFL games. I feel I can’t comment about the XFL.

The USFL I think has had higher scoring thinking of the weekly scores. I couldn’t confirm this though as I couldn’t find stats on it.

 

[Q729]

I like both, but i think I lean more towards the XFL. Feels unpolished at times but makes it fresh in that "anything can happen" way— both on and off the field. Seems to have more fan involvement with teams playing in their home cities. The atmosphere adds something to the play on the field when things are close. Some say it wasn't a good thing for a losing team to win the championship, but that just means everybody literally has a chance, so don't worry if your team is crapping the bed. lol Plus getting Perez from the Vipers at the tail end of the season boosted Arlington. No doubt they would have won more games if they had him from the start.

The USFL seems more polished with Fox and NBC running the show. Only 3 of the 8 teams play in their home markets right now, but even then the crowd doesn't seem to be into it as much. Both leagues I've seen some pretty good down-to-the-wire games in both. Quality of play in both leagues is about the same from my eye, but I'm just glad to see any spring football. lol
