The first overall draft pick and first defensive draft pick were both from Michigan... we could have the first draft pick in both drafts this year
I'm torn between rooting for the Panthers and rooting for the Maulers. But I'm just excited to see some football either wayJa.brill Peppers - Cleveland Brown OldBrownsFan, on 02 Jun 2017 - 5:09PM said: "No you are not the work of the devil but you are deceived by the devil."

I'm torn between rooting for the Panthers and rooting for the Maulers. But I'm just excited to see some football either wayPittsburgh Maulers, I remember the first year Pittsburgh got the Gladiators in Arena 2? ball. A guy I worked with from Wheatland, PA bought season tickets and a bunch of other merchandise and souvenirs. Well the team and league folded but he said he enjoyed the experience -and- neat heirloom souvenirs.
If I were up to it I'd make the 60+ mile trip to Pittsburgh......oh wait they are playing in Alabama, nevermind.
I will be checking out the USFL, at least at first.

Last Sunday my 6 yr old grandson (kindergarten) played in his first ever flag football game. When it came his turn to be lined up in the backfield it was 1st down (they only get 4 downs). I made sure the iphone was on video. He took the handoff, took a step to the right, but the D was there, he continued turning right, reversing his field, around his own guys and turned it upfield along the sideline, he could-go-all-the-way!!! Touchdown! Length of the field. Man-O-Man. God couldn't have scripted it any better. I put the video on FB....I watch the video multiple times a day.

Kevin Sumlin only stuck around A&M because JFF made him a winner as HC his first two years. Poor Gamblers.

Another nice TD catch. And from my alumni......
.... Two former YSU football players will be a part of the newly formed United States Football League this season.
With the first pick in Round 7 of the USFL Draft, the Pittsburgh Maulers selected former Youngstown State lineman Charles Baldwin.
In Round 10, the New Jersey Generals drafted former Penguins’ cornerback David Rivers......

Yes back around 1987 Pittsburgh did get the Gladiators in Arena ball iat the old Civic Arena.
Pittsburgh Gladiators (1987–90)Edit
When arena football was first announced in 1986, Jim Foster targeted Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for an inaugural franchise due to the great football tradition of the area. The franchise was originally known as the Pittsburgh Gladiators, and was one of the original four AFL teams formed in 1987. The team was named by Robert Ninehouser whose entry for the team name was selected in 1987. They originally played their home games at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena in Pittsburgh. On June 19, 1987, the Gladiators defeated the Washington Commandos 48–46 in the first ever AFL regular season game. The Gladiators participated in ArenaBowls I nd III, losing both.

From Yahoo Sports on the Saturday USFL TV viewership numbers, 3 million, hmmm......
.......Now, that 3 million number has a lot to do with the game being simulcast on two network channels — Fox and NBC. Whatever these behemoths put on is going to draw a rating. It’s no different than putting a movie in 200 theaters; it’s going to sell tickets even if it’s as unwatchable as The Addams Family 2 (which I’ve seen because, ya know, the kids).
That said, the USFL did have competition in the form of the NBA playoffs, plus a full slate of baseball and hockey. So … there were options and 3 million chose football.
I want to hear why.
This isn’t the Donald Trump USFL, with Heisman Trophy winners and first-round NFL draft picks dotting rosters. This is Luis Perez (Texas A&M–Commerce) throwing to Randy Satterfield (Lyon College).
We’ll see what the ratings are for Sunday’s games, which didn’t get the benefit of a primetime slot on two networks. And we’ll see how many of those 3 million stick around next weekend as the curiosity begins to wear off.......

Last nights postponed game drew less than 6 man football does in Texas in terms of numbers in the stands. Very near empty. I thought the kickoff was just pre-game warmup until the placed they ball down for the 1st play from the LOS.

Talk about a snoozer Friday night USFL 10-6 final ? Uh-oh........
The New Jersey Generals won the first edition of “The Northern Duel,” defeating the Michigan Panthers, 10-6, at Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Alabama on Friday night.
After a Generals field goal in the first quarter, the Panthers were able to capitalize on an interception, scoring six to take the lead early in the second. New Jersey responded with a touchdown drive of their own, leading 10-6 at the half. Running back Darius Victor scored that touchdown for the Generals, his first of the season. He led the team in rushing with 40 yards on 11 carries.
The second half was scoreless with both teams making unsuccessful field goal attempts. Michigan quarterback Shea Patterson led a late game surge, converting on fourth-and-20 to give the Panthers a last shot at the end zone. The Generals’ pass rush shut Patterson down, sealing the win for New Jersey, their first of the season......
