Return Of Locos Station And Future

Hello Locos fans! It has been a while since there was an update. Some games came and went, and the Las Vegas Locos made it to their second consecutive UFL Championship! Not to mention, they won it in dramatic fashion against their biggest foes, the Florida Tuskers. If you'd like to watch the game in it's entirety, do so here at the Official UFL website.

Since the end of the season, there has been quite a few changes going forward for the United Football league. For instance:

Drew Willy Interview With ESPN Radio 1100

Mitch Moss and Dug Dugless with ESPN Radio 1100 got a chance to watch the Locos practice today, and Mitch did a quick interview with newly appointed starting quarterback Drew Willy. It's worth a watch, check it out here.

Locos Express News 10/19

As always, if you've missed any past episodes of Locos Extra on Sundays, you can catch up on the episodes here via KTNV channel 13.

The game on Saturday is themed "Kid's Rule," so all kids 12 and under are free. All UNLV students with valid student ID are free too! There will be a fan fest that starts at 10AM with bounce houses, face painters, BMX riders, skateboarders, and more.

The 2010 UFL Championship game site has been announced. It comes as no surprise that Omaha will be hosting the game. They've been selling out, and their fans are very enthusiastic. Hopefully Vegas can catch up!

Safety Lewis Baker and kicker Steven Hauschka won UFL defensive/special teams players of the week due to their contributions to last weeks game. Daunte Culpepper should've won offensive player of the week, for throwing it to us so many times. Barker had two tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, and an interception against Sacramento, while Hauschka hit four field goals ranging from 36-47 yards during the game.

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.

Game Analysis: Las Vegas 20 @ Florida 17

Yesterday marked the fifth meeting between rival teams the Florida Tuskers and the Las Vegas Locomotives. The Locos have played the Tuskers 5 times in only 9 total games in UFL history, so the teams definitely know each other.

The game came just two weeks after Florida beat Las Vegas at home in the season opener 27-20. The Locos had a bye week last week, and Florida lost a close game to the Sacramento Mountain Lions 20-24.

Locos Express News 10/01

For anyone who missed Locos Extra on Sunday, you can check out the videos of the episode here via KTNV.

Mayor Oscar Goodman will sign a ceremonial contract with the Las Vegas Locos this afternoon 10/01 at 4:00 PM as a tight end on the 3rd Street stage at the Fremont Experience. Along with Locos players and cheerleaders, coach Jim Fassel will present a jersey to Mayor Goodman. Fans are welcome to come hang out and meet the team, staff, and cheerleaders.

Starting within the next few days, Zia Record Exchange (with two locations in town on S. Eastern and also on W. Sahara) will be supporting Locos TE Adam Bergen's charity 87 PLAYS. If you make a purchase at either location, you'll have the opportunity to donate the cost of your plastic bag to 87 PLAYS or two other charities if you choose not to take a bag.

Locos Station News Alert!: DeDe Dorsey Returns

Axios Sports Management's official facebook page has announced that UFL Championship MVP running back DeDe Dorsey has returned to the Las Vegas Locos.

This is great news, and should help the team out tremendously when they travel to Orlando to play the Tuskers again next week.

Watch The First Episode Of Locos Extra On KTNV + More News

Locos Extra is a half hour show hosted by Doug Kezirian that is dedicated to the Las Vegas Locos and is aired on Sundays from 6:30-7:00 PM on KTNV Channel 13. For those of you who missed it this past Sunday, you can watch all 3 parts here. Just scroll to the right hand side of the screen.

While the Locos drew under 10,000 fans for the home opener, Hartford drew over 14,000 fans for their inaugural game. The best news is that Omaha has SOLD OUT the first Nighthawks game for Friday night. It should be a great crowd, and a great game to watch on HDNet. They'll be playing the Colonials. The Florida Tuskers will be in Sacramento to play the Mountain Lions on Saturday that will be aired on Versus.

Analysis: Tuskers 27 @ Las Vegas 20

This is coming later than most would expect, but it's better late than never right? So this past Saturday 9/18, the Florida Tuskers came to Las Vegas for the second game of the 2010 UFL season. Earlier in the day the Hartford Colonials beat the Sacramento Mountain Lions 27-10.

My friend and I showed up to Sam Boyd stadium about an hour before kick-off. We were a little too late to partake in the pre-game festivities, but the remains were still there. There were games, inflatables for the kids, food, and even a few people tailgating. After we looked around, we headed into the stadium.

GAMEDAY 9/18/2010 TUSKERS @ LOCOS

Today is the day we've been waiting for for 303 days. It is the start of the 2010 UFL Season. There are two great games to watch today. The Sacramento Mountain Lions will be in Hartford to take on the Colonials. That game airs on NESN at 11:30 Pacific time.

The second game features the UFL championship rematch between the Las Vegas Locomotives against the Florida Tuskers. This is the game that a lot of UFL fans have been waiting for. Will the Tuskers claim revenge for the Locos taking away their perfect season? Or will the Locos start their championship defense in dramatic fashion?
