That and "Philadelphia Stars North Division champions"

????? That's like saying had the 49ers won the NFCCG they would have been NFC West champs

Out Coached.

Not kicking FG at the half. Taking that last useless timeout. And the killer - Not Punting Out of Bounds...

This will kill ratings next week too. USFL championship going up against - hot MLB Phillies on SNB. Not good.

I understand why that sounds awkward, especially in the context of pro football, but it makes a certain amount of sense. So according to the USFL, the Stars and not the Generals won the division?

I agree. The swapping QB came back to hurt NJ. While the running game was decent, if underwhelming, the passing game outright stink. NJ could never go deep and Perez never seemed comfortable in the pocket. NJ was too one dimensional which played into the Stars favor

I wouldn't assume that, two unranked teams in the College World Series beat SNB last week, and that was with the first-place Astros on.

They won the Div in the playoffs... like saying LA Rams won the NFC by winning the NFC championship game to represent in the Superbowl

The Stars won the North Division by winning the North Div championship game to represent in the USFL champ game.

I don't necessarily dislike it, just clarifying. They should have marketed this as the Division Championship Games rather than the Semifinals.
