Wish more people gave this league a chance because they have quality games

[@macmac3374]

I wanted to go to a couple games this year but my son's hockey team has games at the same time every week 😫 I was looking forward ti seeing this team in person

[@NineballChris]

@@macmac3374 No more hockey games next year so you can go to the games. :)

[@replynotificationsdisabled]

it's happening just as it needs too. we don't want to compete with the NFL, they will simply die out because of the UFL and it's momentum. Capitalism baby.

[@whoishim2998]

I’d go to a game but I’m from Chicago and no teams close enough

[@whoishim2998]

I think they should move some teams to big cities tbh or maybe the nearby suburbs

[@waynetompkins3006]

"The U.S. Army Command Center" makes it sound like the Pentagon is running this league.

[@chaoticchaos894]

This league needs more support!

[@NineballChris]

I am supporting it by watching it on 3 different way to watch it. I will have my TV on the game. I will have it playing on my laptop on KZbinTv and have it on ESPN+ on my phone lol :) I live in South Mississippi so the nearest game is either Birmingham or Memphis. My team is the Breakers so hopefully they will be back in the future. :)

[@SamuelKhan]

Empty seats. Does anyone know this exists? It's great football. St. Louis shows how its done.

[@Rockstopmotion]

People are broke I think people have other priorities over dudes in tights gang tackling each other

[@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation]

They aren't dependant on attendance TV contracts make the league profitable regardless. Plus the Battlehawks get 40k a game the Stallions get around 20k. They are building the product it might take some time but fanbases will be built.

[@stevenhempel2311]

Think the biggest issue is playing in Detroit. They are the Michigan panthers not the Detroit panthers play throughout Michigan

[@teo_heel]

@@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation Stallions had only 12k people, not even close to 20k.

[@KidChaos91]

The issue might be they may not have enough concession/stadium/ and security workers to work the events. Might be why they start small aside from the league establishing themselves. Even in St. Louis, they could fill it to 60K but choose not to.

[@franciscorosario2669]

What is all about the kickers in this league. So many beast kicking stupendous kicks. NFL has to look to some of these guys!

[@chaoticchaos894]

No pressure compared to the NFL especially fans wise

[@Between-The-Goalposts]

@@chaoticchaos894 L take

[@michaelmcdermott209]

They took the governor off of the offense and this Panther team scores the most points in the league this season. Jake Bates will be a Lion before long. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@choiyatlam2552]

I bet Lions fans wished they had him. Dan Campbell would be less reckless on 4th down if he has a better kicker.

[@NineballChris]

I really think Jake Bates can kick a 70 yard FG. His kickoff went from the 20 yard line and was caught at the 10 yard line. He has a leg for sure.

[@michaelmcdermott209]

@@choiyatlam2552 I believe kicking has no place in football other than kickoff and punting. I love the way Dan Campbell takes chances and we would have never made it to the NFC championship game if he hadn't.

[@paul16451]

Jake Bates is the man! Hope to see him in the NFL soon!!

[@NineballChris]

Hope he goes to the Lions, Saints or Broncos.

[@ryandavis4448]

Kai Nakua with the pic, nice!

[@Hunt456]

This is me holding myself back from making any kind of "Roughnecks" joke about Reid Sinnett. My neck still hurts after watching this

[@PurpleChurch]

It seems like the Roughnecks have given up. Keep your head up guys and represent. Remember your fans, like myself.

[@RexJacobus-bb1vw]

Yes they are trash now

[@PurpleChurch]

@@RexJacobus-bb1vw The real fans like myself will still be fanatical.

[@shadowdivided]

Hey Pittsburgh was one of the worst 1st year of USFL, 2nd year played for the Championship.🤷‍♂

[@Angrynood]

​@@shadowdivided I wish they kept Pittsburgh and Philly. Those were fun teams.

[@JakeFranklinFB]

This is such a great league. I watch this over any other spring sport

[@Mike-aka747]

Pleasantly surprised by Panthers performance today. I thought Houston would beat ‘em given how well they played at DC. Best of luck to Michigan @ the Brahmas next week. 🤞🏼🏈🔥🔥⚡️

[@isaiah1065]

Bates has an NFL spot on lock atp

[@imnotsqiddy]

Houston and Arlington are both winless with 1/3 of the season through.

[@worldssmallestfan]

Play next week 👍🏻

[@OffensiveFarmer]

Genuinely very entertaining games so far in the UFL, at times more exciting than NFL games.

[@worfsonofmogh1154]

E J Perry is pretty funny. Although he didn't know the rules at the end about the clock stopping for his own first down.

[@JamesENichols]

Roughnecks are not good. I don't like anything about that squad. Michigan played well, and deserved to win. Stallions and Panthers are the clear best two teams in the USFL conference.

[@uflstallions_dynasty]

Dude Jake Bates and Marcus Simms are both NFL material. Bates is automatic and Simms looked absolutely dominant on that YAC touchdown.

[@user-ty5md6kj6p]

Good win by the Panthers.

[@tomrogue13]

Good job Panthers! Best looking game do far this season

[@topleftfromtime]

Y’all gotta understand it takes a couple years before people feel like it might be worthy to invest their time & money. Just need the UFL to hang in there & if they continue putting out a quality product, those seats won’t be empty for long

[@cinimatics]

Week three of asking the UFL to put a team back in Canton! I will go to games!

[@gorosaurus23]

I saw that they were considering an expansion there, which would be really cool!

[@user-fu7ss2kq1u]

This is good football. I would definitely go watch this!!!

[@wildwine6400]

XFL Roughnecks > UFL Roughnecks

[@teo_heel]

The thing is, it's not the same team. It's former Houston Gamblers from USFL that took the XFL franchise name.

[@ShaneDouglas713]

*F🤬KING FACTS!!!* this team is trash...

[@ShaneDouglas713]

​@@teo_heelDoesn't make it any better...

[@car83_]

Change the team name to the Gamblers! That would have to be good for 7 more points per game!

[@stephensullivan1011]

long live spring football!!!!!!!!!!

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Tough game. Panthers look good on both sides of the ball.

[@Porkchop9998]

Hopefully next year they be on fanduel

[@Salomon_G]

Well, it's been a...rough start for Texas teams

[@stewdiesalot4008]

Houston's defense is horrible. I'm pretty sure I could take my old self out there and make half the tackles these guys are missing. jeez, it's hard to watch

[@buffpatrick7735]

Those roughneck uniforms better then the Texans uniforms

[@DukeofGames50]

and bates did it again! well okay, it wasn't SIXTY yards, this time haha

[@mralwayslate1496]

First Purty now this guy oh boy he will be in the NFL next year

[@RexJacobus-bb1vw]

Purty didn't play in this league

[@KidChaos91]

The Gamblers don’t seem like a good team regardless of what uniform they wear.

[@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation]

Stallions 25-3 since USFL/XFL started back 2 losses to Gamblers 1 lose to New Orleans Breakers They were as good as anyone last year.

[@ThorntonsLegacy]

@@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation they still didn’t make the playoffs

[@ShaneDouglas713]

I hate the Gamblers team got transferred the Roughnecks, the Roughnecks team last year wasn't trash like this team is...

[@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation]

@ShaneDouglas713 I like the Gamblers mascot better simply for original USFL Nostalgia

[@NineballChris]

@@UnkkkleRukcusNoRelation New Orleans Breakers staff is in Memphis this year. I think Memphis will be the 2nd team to be in the playoffs. But we will see.

[@roberthanna4882]

A great day of football, both games.

[@PlaySA]

Why in the world is the UFL's kicking better than the NFL's? So strange

[@choiyatlam2552]

I don’t know if that’s the case. I feel like the UFL ball flutter less in FG compared to NFL, thus creating less irregular movements. Maybe it’s the reason why kickers seemed much better in UFL.

[@huescakamikaze3370]

Michigan,s defense was factor

[@tyjackson6466]

This Houston team has me surprised at 0-3 Houston needs some wins because this team looks confused and not on the same page.

[@ShaneDouglas713]

It's the Gamblers team that got transferred over, that's why they're trash...Last year Roughnecks DOMINATED until the Divisional Championship 🆚 Arlington...

[@BZman7]

Jeez @ 12:53 that friendly fire

[@car83_]

Bring back the Houston Gamblers!

[@darrylherman916]

An Awesome idea would be each NFL team gets 5 draft picks, everyone else goes to ufl, until you prove yourself and you get the call to the big dance; like baseball. i think this will give ufl more interest because named or known college players' followers and fans will watch to see if a guy that should have made it actually has what it takes - this will reduce bust

[@caydencalhoun4507]

These games are a thousand times more entertaining than NFL games.

[@gunnarkay8060]

Man, the roughnecks ran the league back in the 2020 xfl season. Now all the sudden they suck. That's messed up covid had to stop the roughnecks from running this league. Then they flipped the entire roster and couching staff smh

[@robertdice7786]

Try running the 🎉ball and then on D, RUSH! Houston.

[@williamstasyna8021]

😻 Panthers

[@JOHNBURG1917]

Se yall in San Antonio!

[@purpl3ra1n]

Sims just got the doctor's paid all those broken ankles let's go Michigan

[@cinimatics]

I know. They have three teams in Texas when there's plenty of other placed that would have better attendance.

[@LLMCBCHANNEL]

True, I am a panthers fan. I think Seattle and Canton would have good attendance. So keep the brahmas, Arlington Ranegades->Canton Renegades, and turn the roughnecks into the Seattle Sea Dragons!

[@martyklestadt6766]

Really? Texas is the most football-fanatical state in the U.S.

[@kashakamcpherson9719]

Someone sign Jake Bates

[@marvel9r421]

The script says #9 will score🤣

[@bowielukas6815]

Michigan!!!!!!

[@markdouglas1601]

Hard to evaluate Perry considering the O line is horrible

[@jaredtaylor8083]

0-3.. With the way the Roughnecks playing this year it's more like the Houston Gamblers in disguise. They aren't fooling anybody.

[@scotmhead]

Houston stinks this year but they were quite fun to watch. Houston fan here, now to go root for San Antonio too.

[@LuisMercadoorg]

Do we know when is Mark Thompson going to play?

[@ThorntonsLegacy]

Next week

[@etb7856]

Cool

[@steventhekid5985]

Ghostsbusters.

[@steelermike5219]

Those who truly love football follow these leagues. Just shows how many only like football on Sundays lol a bunch of band wagoners lol

[@Bikerbug2020]

As I have said before the Roughnecks Helmets are cool. - Are they piping in the crowd noise? - Need to bring back the Pittsburgh Maulers

[@krash22mini72]

The reason Pittsburgh probably won't be coming back is they don't have a reliable stadium to play in

[@bilal9ja564]

Michigan just played better football

[@EtreNameless]

Dude, the Roughnecks are so insanely bad. So bad.

[@M_JW]

The fact that every team I’m a fan of sucks-

[@omarmusa5868]

The Texans will be a lot better

[@joshuajohnson714]

Just found this. I’m done with the NFL. This looks much bettet

[@teo_heel]

Steven Dunbar... from one awful team in CFL (he was an Edmonton Elks player in 2023 CFL season, that team is infamous for 22 game home losing streak that was broken last season, it's the longest home losing streak in North American professional leagues)... to Houston... and it's not an XFL Houston that was good, it's an USFL Houston that is... not good at all.

[@DFW_Atrix]

Ooo 1st comment anyways let’s go Houston

[@HouTown1]

FIRE J.C. Johnson... inept... again how did we (Houston Roughnecks) get bamboozled out of Wade Phillips for this clown? * Can the UFL fire a "coach" during the season or does he just get paid throughout the miserable year of coaching?

[@markv6228]

fire that texas coach now seen all their games and that teams sucks top to bottom defense offense punting all need fired all of them

[@user-my3wr8ts7i]

Unless Michigan can relocate to a smaller venue there is no reason to retain them.

[@rolandlymangrover754]

Give it the season

[@DntHtThPlya]

They could play at Wayne State. They have a stadium that could accommodate their fans.

[@Maxiform-kamel]

Houston paly very bad very bad Football.

[@tommyparsons5846]

Screw the NFL

[@FrOsTyB1283]

@UFL I think im out i dont want to watch you put ads on the field. Just bs in my book. Dont advertise to kids to join the military, your telling kids war is okay. And its not.

[@YMagoulo]

Look whats going on around the planet concerning war. I don't think an ad on the field is going to do much, however the Army giving money away like that is our taxes being used stupidly.

[@user-cq9qf3nl4w]

They need money to fund the product. The army is a sponsor for them. If they could get other sponsors they would probably use them too

[@Joompsi]

L take

[@NILBOG13]

How did the Houston QB not break his neck? That was disgusting to watch.

[@gregoryfugal4722]

Came to the comments to see if anyone else saw it

[@RexJacobus-bb1vw]

How can the Texas teams be the worst?

[@Boosted-mx-6]

Is anyone aware of the condition of the qb who got his head spun around??

[@RexJacobus-bb1vw]

Why does Michigan and Birmingham have the same colors ? It's s annoying. Michigan can be any other colors. Why didnt they think of this?

[@shadowdivided]

Mich is more maroon, D.C. however.......watch the matchup with the Stallions you might change your mind.

[@JonAlienAbides]

Michigan is rocking their original uniforms, Birmingham came along after.
