Late Game Updates

I've been pulled away from the blog for a while, but I'm working on being back on top of things full time. Anyway, here's some quick blurbs for the previous two games against Omaha and Sacramento.

UFL Sizzle Reel

The UFL released a very well done video this week. It's a little bit over 4 and a half minutes, and showcases highlights from the Premiere Season, with clips from coaches and UFL executives. It was put together really well, and really makes fans pumped for the 2010 season. If you know anyone who loves football, but is skeptical of the league, you should show them this video. Check the video out after the jump.

Omaha Nighthawks and Sacramento Mountain Lions Logos Unveiled

The logos for the Nighthawks and Mountain Lions were released recently by the UFL. The Nighthawks had an unveiling that was open to the fans, while the Mountain Lions had a press conference with their newly signed quarterback DAUNTE CULPEPPER! Pretty awesome. Check out the logos below.

UFL Omaha's Team Name

After another Name The Team contest, UFL's 2010 expansion Omaha team finally has a name. The name of the team is...

The Omaha Nighthawks! The team will be coached by Jeff Jagodzinski. Coach Jagodzinski mentioned in an interview that the teams colors will be black, silver, and white. I can't wait to see the Nighthawks later this season!

2010 Schedule Announced!

Today the UFL announced the 2010 schedule. The schedule is for 5 teams, and it's a ten week schedule with two byes per team. Each team will have 4 home games. Many fans are going to be confused because the league has talked about having two expansion teams. After the indifference towards the league in San Antonio, the league decided to focus on what they've got and work on further expansion next year. It will still be a great on-field product, and I can't wait to see you all at Sam Boyd for all of the Locos home games!
