A google search would confirm (but I want to test my knowledge), but isn't Skip Holtz coaching B'ham?

He was last year. Think he's still there.

3 championships in a row, and Skip Holtz is a genius at building Spring lea gue rosters.

Does anyone watch UFL football?

I watch a little. Sometimes I get a Jones for some football.

Better question- did anyone know that the UFL would be playing this year? I didn't.

I saw the promos for it while watching NFL on FOX. Otherwise I wouldn't have.

Does anyone watch UFL football?

I do at times. I like football.

I like football too but I just haven't been able to get into the spring leagues. I've turned them on but just not interested.

Yeah, I see where i worded my post incorrectly. I like football to the point where I'll watch all those lower tier bowls, so spring ball is still good with me.

I didn't mean to imply that if you didn't watch spring ball, you didnt like football.

I will tune in. I may have it on in the background, but I'll tune in.

Do they still not play on a full length field?

I think youre confusing that with indoor football.

UFL has a normal size field.

I guess that answers the question of whether or not I watch UFL.

UFL is regular football with a few tweaks.

Are you Canadian?

No, I'm not from the great state of Canada.

Why not?

They've always played on a regular field. This isn't arena football.

I did - Fox had advertised it during NFL commercial breaks.

The field of course is 110 yards long by 65 yards wide (US is 100 yards by 53 1/3 yards wide). 20 yard end zones (reduced from 25 yards some years ago). The Canadian game IMO is faster-paced the the US version, with only 3 downs and no fair catches (kicking team must give the receiver a 5-yard "halo"). My favourite is the rouge - a kickoff or missed field goal saling through the end zone gives the kicking team a single point. Adds a little bit a of variety to the game. At least the NFL eventually added the two-point PAT option.

Is that you, Todd?

 

[HI Cock1]

Canadian football team names are better than ours. Tiger-cats, Argonauts, Alouettes, RoughRiders, Blue Bombers, RedBlacks? I wanna party with those cowboys!

 

[will110]

Technically it's the centre line. Todd would fit in well up there though!

I feel like I could enjoy watching Canadian football if it weren't for the 3 downs. That just drives me crazy.

Faster paced as a result.
