Re: 6-WBRC: Skip Holtz talks UFL merger
Yes - some others too. Good stuff.
Bottom line 3/2 years of spring FB leagues is starting to cement in media's mind, more locally of course but its happening. Its not brand new anymore.
Birm, StL, SA and Memphis seem to be getting most love from local media/press. I'll post if I see good coverage regardless of city.

Re: 6-WBRC: Skip Holtz talks UFL merger
I've seen plenty of news posted out of Birmingham. I guess that's what two consecutive USFL championships can do.

AL.com: Stallions playing in a ‘stronger’ league in 2024
Winning, persisting, no talk of financial issues, being seen on major Network TV, players from big schools and a 3rd tier city (size wise) with its biggest pro sports team by far in the city and a coach who is ALL in... yeah its starting to ferment into something good...FootballYoda wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 8:57 pm I've seen plenty of news posted out of Birmingham.

>> Coach Skip Holtz: Stallions playing in a ‘stronger’ league in 2024
If the Birmingham Stallions win the United Football League championship this year, will it be a three-peat?
The Stallions won the USFL titles in 2022 and 2023. But the USFL has merged with the XFL to form the UFL, taking four franchises from each spring-football league for the 2024 season.
Whatever its pursuit of a third straight championship is called, Birmingham will need to be a stronger team to win the United Football League crown because, Stallions coach Skip Holtz said, the merger is “going to make the product even better than it has been.” <<
and yes its a three peat..
