re: Anyone watching USFL?

I’ve watched more games than I’ve missed and I enjoy it. Precisely for the reason that it’s football without BS and egos and the league injecting itself into every story, every game, every down.

I get that the players aren’t as good as the NFL, but as long as the competition level is even, who cares? The games usually come down to the wire as a result.

In another thread, a poster suggested what the USFL should do is focus not so much on being the NFL lite as College Football Plus. Right now I think their focus is a little off because of it. Almost like their identity is tied to being a step below the NFL.

I say start drafting high school players and raid the transfer portal and smaller colleges like mad for players. That would help ramp up the quality of player quite a bit and establish it as a different branch of football, different from both the NFL and College.
