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.

Losman Signs With Seattle Seahawks. Daunte Culpepper signs with UFL's Mountain Lions

It was announced today that J.P. Losman, the starting Locos QB last season has signed with the Seattle Seahawks. More info here.

Does this mean that since it's highly unlikely that Losman will be returning to the Locos that Tim Rattay will be our starting quarterback? Or do you think Jim Fassel and the coaches are going to try to find someone else? I hope they give Rattay a shot. I saw him play against the Sentinels last year, and he still looked pretty good.

Also today, there are a lot of reports emerging that Daunte Culpepper is heading to the UFL's Sacramento Mountain Lions. This is big news for the league! Hopefully there will be more big name signings to discuss soon.

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!
