That was about the best weekend the league could have hoped for:

Good game, good crowd.
No XFL announcement to steal anything.
The WWE Nighters even sort of went over at MITB (including P-Mac hilariously selling with a neck brace at A/C).

Also Jordan McCray and D-Gates finally get their chip after being robbed of it in the AAF and X2

Now the work for '23 begins and the league doesn't just disappear until the NFL playoffs start.

It ended up getting to #1 at one point as well as having 3 out of 5 topics in the top 5

Wow! Good catch. Let's hope for good numbers.

Something tells me Canton could be the home next year for the championship too. Good crowd.

Moose Johnston has said a couple times that he'd love to have the championship game in Canton every year. I'd like to see it. 4th of July weekend USFL Championship in Canton could become a great tradition.

I went to the game- must say it was a lot of fun. Good play, nice to watch. Canton has a great stadium for such games. Parking was a bit difficult, but the traffic wasn't too bad. Got a free t-shirt as part of the deal. All in all, a nice time. Would recommend to all next year-
To the XFL & USFL. May those leagues run forever... :D
Here comes Secretariat to the wire! An unbelievable, an amazing performance! He hits the finish... 25 lengths in front! (it was actually 31)-
