Glad to see Willie Quinn getting another shot in pro football in Orlando (will be on CBS on their opening night)


Quite a few players on their opening day rosters from SWAC schools (Southern, JSU, Valley, Alabama State)
 
Quinn didn't make the final cuts for the Orlando team
Neither did Brown for the Salt Lake Team

But the Memphis roster has plenty of Tennessee State players plus a player from JSU and Bama State made the final cuts
 
Whatever happened to "ar"Tillery and one of the greatest OLs that ever came through the SWAC?
 
I wish the XFL would’ve joined forces this league added more teams and made this a really big deal. The structure is there and it seems like this League is well raned. I like the fact that they have their own rules which is good. Overall last night was a fun night for the league. College players have a legit shot now
 
I have watched at least 3 games so far and yet to see a black quarterback. Do any of the teams have a black quarterback?

Blake Sims plays for Birmingham and BJ Daniels plays for Salt Lake (neither are starters. Sims was inactive yesterday)
 

I was able to catch one game on youtube (Memphis vs. Birmingham). It was a game where Memphis came back and won in the last minute. If they had just held on for another week or two, I could have personally made it to one of their games. I think that was the feeling among the peeps I know. It was just starting to catch on....oh well--> Another Pro Football League Bites the Dust...!!!!
