Memphis Showboats news

Post by 4th&long »

Good article here... You can bet the USFL is hoping White performs in a city that knows him well.

>> Memphis football fans are two months away from watching former Tigers quarterback Brady White suit up again inside Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.

This time, as a member of the USFL’s Memphis Showboats, he’ll be wearing a blue and yellow uniform rather than the blue and gray he sported from 2018 to 2020.
~
White, who is expected to compete for the starting job with former Arkansas and Southeast Louisiana QB Cole Kelley when team workouts start in March, suggested there is an elevated level of anticipation that comes with a schedule unveiling.

“Whenever a schedule gets released, no matter what sport or team it is, you get the sense that it’s right around the corner,” White said. “It’s real. We’re about to be kicking this thing off. There is going to be a lot of excitement personally, but also around the league and around the country to see what Season 2 is going to look like and to see the matchups and have all that excitement on the social media side.” <<

Memphis knows White and its helping in local media and press.

I think they are waiting on that to "coincide" with XFL news, IMO.

Perhaps... they do seem to want to spread around the news for max impact.

The tickets are still in "season deposit" mode so there's work there to do as well.

I like Brady White and I would bet the league wants him to play and do well but idk if he can beat out Cole Kelley. Either way I do think he’ll help with promoting the team
