You can tell this is a rivalry, St Louis has a high powered offense, and a very good defense. Man believe me St Louis vs Birmingham is going to a classic. I wasn't expecting this score at all.

@@waynetompkins3006 I think Birmingham has >10k fans at their games I think the city would be a tough sell. So many people in st louis have adopted other franchises especially the Chiefs (modern Cowboys), it'd be another tough sell to fans here in St. Louis

@@Skorczman13there’s been other events going on around the time we kick off and we had to deal with rain last home game. If we were relegated to the NFL, I think it would capture more eyes and with big college names in a “expansion draft” would help people come out

@waynetompkins3006 Ай бұрын

@Skorczman13 For an NFL team? Of course the fans would come. IDK if Birmingham has an NFL-ready stadium, but St. Louis does. The BattleHawks would have to be sold to new owners unless Dwayne Johnson still wants it, but otherwise it's plug and play.

Idk if the UFL has the same tie breakers as the XFL, but as a Hawks fan I don't want to see another ending like last year. I get your point when it comes to viewership (and good sportsmanship in general), but if the league promotes things like this with bad tie breakers. Then let's blow out every team.
