mjp28 Posted February 9, 2020 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 In game 1 today, ok don't know some of the players. But coaches Jerry Glanville and Marc Tresman some real oldies. Marc was Kosar's QB coach at the "U". Next Bob Stoops and Dallas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SdBacker80 Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Big fan of the no kick extra point and then the extra point or points option. I’m not a fan of kicking anyway but it’s nice to integrate your skill guys more in those plays and then you can play catch-up faster. I think the kick off start rule has a good shot of catching on in the NFL for safety reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Outside of a few teams with bad QB play, the XFL has been great. Already better than the AAF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before we have a NFL vs. XFL playoff? 100 years (but the XFL might not last 10). The NFL is having viewership issues now the NFL is pretty much at the saturation point especially when you factor in college football. Football every day of the week for months. Plus their schedule is all wrong for a playoff unlike the old AFL vs NFL which had less other competition. I was even a little surprised when the Arena League folded, I thought small market ball would work but it didn't. The XFL 2.0 is pretty much big market with NFL teams in the area.

The Cysko Kid Posted February 10, 2020 Report Share Posted February 10, 2020 Vince McMahon always had some money but in the years between 2001 and now some money blossomed into "a lot of money" as in billions. He could probably afford to float the xfl along through a couple of early rough seasons. If he can get a few key investors who knows what could happen. The fact of the matter is football is king and I would personally rather follow the xfl then the other major sports. The AAF or whatever it was called that just folded had neither money or broadcast partners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not have had money....and apparently it didn't, which was the sole reason it folded. I guess I don't understand how it didn't have money when those networks were paying broadcast rights fees. I think it is just that spring ball does NOT work. Not the AAF, not the USFL, not the first XFL, and likely not this. Not in the long term.

He is not in the NFL because he is perceived to just not be that good. If he were a superior talent.....he would have had a job notwithstanding whatever troglodyte attitudes existed toward him.

The Gipper Posted February 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 There was a discussion on the radio today that in the event that this XFL expands before too long, that Cleveland.....or maybe even Canton, could get a team. (The HOF stadium can handle 23K....enough for an XFL team). Then they speculated on names. If either Cleveland of Canton got a team, what would you call it?

But the XFL did just conduct a "draft" ...not a college draft, but one that apparently picked up street Free Agents, including the following names: Cardale Jones Connor Cook Sammie Coates Matt McGloin Landry Jones Orson Charles. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/xfl-draft-tracker-results-picks-list-rosters-football-league/jahz8p84e4i61hb8lajqs4a22 Landry Jones....LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Canton got an XFL team I would go with the Bulldogs name for the history. I would love to see it happen. I guess we could update that name to the 21st century XFL...the Canton Mutant Ninja Bulldogs.😄 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Oven Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 The HOF stadium in Canton would be a perfect sized stadium for the XFL, but I just can't see them putting a team in that market. Honestly, Columbus would probably get a team before Cleveland or Canton. They could play in the Columbus Crew new stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but IF Canton got a team & it was named the BULLDOGS, the stadium would be PACKED & this area would definitely support the Team. No other Pro team or major college program splitting interest.
