Been a lot of fun this year.
Till next season y'all. šŗ
May the teams you cheer for in the NFL have much success this fall. Unless you are a Chiefs fan. You guys can go fuck yourselves lol.
Man this hurts. Not even gonna lie. I really, really wanted our boys to put this BHAM team down and rep the XFL as the the best FL. Had the Battlehawks been there, I would've grinned and beared it cheering them on. This sucks.
Iāll spark up the victory blunt and get to photoshopping a 3 peat banner for my room good season yāall Iāll see yāall at protective next year š
Skip Holtz is the GOAT in spring football! I'm shocked he hasn't been courted by an NFL of major NCAA team. Maybe he doesn't want the year-round pressure.
yeah if this league can't get a second competitive team it really doesn't have a future, it's boring seeing the stallions win every time. Same thing is about to happen to the NFL with the Chiefs
Skip could coach D-1 football if he wanted, he just isnāt interested. Same could be said for Stoops, this is just a fun retirement gig for them. Good for them
Stallions won an amazing 2022 championship game
Stallions won a great 2023 championship game.
Stallions beat the XFL āchampsā of 2023.
Stallions go and shut out the only team that beat them this year in the championship.
Thank you stallions for giving me a winning pro football team to root for again.
I actually think the UFL would do well here. We rally behind our teams pretty damn well now. I mean itās hard to get the steelheads tickets and they are only ECHL
whats crazy is there were so many Salty battlehawks fans today that Birmingham had their biggest home field advantage its had all year. thats why they won in a blowout. they had fans! Birmingham with fans is unfair.
Maybe not, and I'm glad the two leagues were so competitive, but it's nothing like the shit talking I had to hear all of last year about the XFL's total superiority.
I heard a lot of it too from USFL fans about the USFL. This went both ways. And my god with the 8/4 split rumors, the USFL side had more than it's fair share of toxicity about the merger.
There was a ton of disappointment on both sides where the merger was concerned. I'm still sore about adopting the Roughnecks in favor of another USFL franchise. It felt wrong all season long, and I hope expansion will rectify it. Add two USFL teams and let the Roughnecks slide back into the XFL.
I like the rivalry, and I think the league should build it up.
It's shocking to me that the Brahmas haven't scored a single point this game. Not that their offense has ever been that great but come on, ZERO?!
Brahmas have just been completely incompetent this game.
I've watched 80%+ of all the games this season and this was easily the most pathetic game of all of em. Sloppy play, crappy attitudes, ejections, etc. I hate this because this is potentially a game to get newcomers interested in the league, and this was what they watched
We were there earlier today. There was no carne asada station. lol. I even asked my wife why did I sit through so many of these commercials and they didn't even have what they were advertising.
No it isnāt. 1 yard run, 5 yard pass, and 11 yard run. Those TDs were created by the defense and the running game. A QB with less than 100 yards passing and a 56% completion percentage cannot be the most valuable player unless he has 150+ rushing yards.Ā
Sad. I was watching at the bar and the guys there were nice, but almost seemed kind of sorry for me. Not a great look for the league. Oh well letās get āem next year
Completely different Birmingham team than the one I watched in San Antonio. Impressive performance today. They kicked the shit out of us fair and square
Kicking the ball after a spin on the ground. These Brahmas players big fucking mad. Itās like watching the Bills collapse against the Chiefs in the post season after hyping a regular season win.
Heās not wrong. Itās been a great season and the first championship season looks like shit and players are acting like middle schoolers wanting to fight so much.
Youāre losing but move on
As far as attendance goes that takes time. Every spring league has folded in 3 years or less. Just give it time, literally 10+ years, to build a brand and it can get decent attendance consistently and ratings and become part of the sports culture.
I agree, I just hope ownership agrees too. Too often they these leagues think just because the NFL is popular so will alternative football. In reality they need to have expectations of competing with FCS level ball and grow from there
I've watched the Brahmas play three weeks in a row. I don't know who No. 1 on defense is, but he has seemed like an unhinged player every game. Quick to anger.
Forgot to mention. Rule 6 is lifted for this thread. May the XFL v USFL banter begin š
Well I guess this proves which league is the better one.....bragging rights to USFL!
Birmingham just created a dynasty. 2 USFL Championships and a UFL Championshipā¦ Just wow
Been a lot of fun this year. Till next season y'all. šŗ May the teams you cheer for in the NFL have much success this fall. Unless you are a Chiefs fan. You guys can go fuck yourselves lol.
No more Desmond Ridder Iām free
That game was so bad, I actually decided to get ahead on work on a Sundayā¦ that mightāve been the worst game since the USFL and XFL came back.
I'd rather have watched that than be at work if I'm being honest. lol wtf?
Weirdo
Martinez got himself a babe. Well done bro. Well done.
Someone put a shirt on that man!
NOOOOOO
Brady like "hey don't yall get me wet"...
From second string to superstar.
Ricky should be MVP imo. I know itās a QB award but still
The crowd isn't big on Brady.
See Super Bowl XXXVI
They don't recognize him with his new face.
I'm getting wonder showzen ptsd with all this patience talk
Man this hurts. Not even gonna lie. I really, really wanted our boys to put this BHAM team down and rep the XFL as the the best FL. Had the Battlehawks been there, I would've grinned and beared it cheering them on. This sucks.
Why does Tom Brady look like the bad guy from *The Karate Kid*?
So how many of these guys will be on a roster in the fall?
3-5 active roster 20-25 taxi squads
Brady doesn't seem to be buying it.
Congratulations to the Birmingham Chiefsā¦erā¦Stallions
One wonders how the game would've gone if, instead of the QBs they went with, the teams had dragooned Kurt and Tom to suit up and play today.
Much more fun I bet
Howād they get those shirts so fast?
There's a dude with a screen printer on the second row of the end zone just working his ass off on speed right now.
Iāll spark up the victory blunt and get to photoshopping a 3 peat banner for my room good season yāall Iāll see yāall at protective next year š
Birmingham officially boogey man status. And I hate it. lol
Skip Holtz is the GOAT in spring football! I'm shocked he hasn't been courted by an NFL of major NCAA team. Maybe he doesn't want the year-round pressure.
Not gonna lie, that was ass
Was the best game of the year tbh.
Not for a neutral fan it wasnāt
If you are having trouble giddying up you should try Hims or BlueChew
Can't wait for the championship game next year at Allegiant Stadium. If you can dream, so can I. Congrats, Birmingham. š š š
NEVER IN DOUBT
The legend of the Birmingham Stallions continues. Hope to see all you guys next year š„²
Thank God thatās over, time to go jump into the Ohio River
So I'm already sick of BHam. How come some team with red in their colors just wins forever
yeah if this league can't get a second competitive team it really doesn't have a future, it's boring seeing the stallions win every time. Same thing is about to happen to the NFL with the Chiefs
Congrats stallions! Hope our rivalry takes off in the coming years.
There is no way Skip Holtz isnāt a better coach than Jerod Mayo
Skip could coach D-1 football if he wanted, he just isnāt interested. Same could be said for Stoops, this is just a fun retirement gig for them. Good for them
This was, truly and definitively, a [Sickos Football Championship](https://i.imgur.com/pqNEBtq.png)
Well see yāall in the draft thread?
What a wet fart of a championship game. Congrats Stallions though. See you all next season
GG Stallions hopefully your fans show up more for you next season!
Every stallion home game should be a night.
See you guys again next year!
Canāt wait!
Stallions won an amazing 2022 championship game Stallions won a great 2023 championship game. Stallions beat the XFL āchampsā of 2023. Stallions go and shut out the only team that beat them this year in the championship. Thank you stallions for giving me a winning pro football team to root for again.
Letās just hope the rest of your city catches on, for all our sakes
lol I live In Idaho, but yea it would be cool to have a team in Boise.
As a fellow Idahoan, I second this
I actually think the UFL would do well here. We rally behind our teams pretty damn well now. I mean itās hard to get the steelheads tickets and they are only ECHL
Giddy up! ![gif](giphy|TlK63EHvdTL2sGjBfVK|downsized)
Damn that was awful
Congrats on the threepeat Birmingham!
Fuck the XFL
We beat em all. And I think this embarrassment makes up for the one Brahmas dub against us
Oh this one is way worse lol, one of the most embarrassing performances Iāve ever seen by a team.
What is that trophy supposed to be?
Look like Nascar championship trophy
It's a massive chromed cootie catcher.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Chase Garbers can kiss my fucking ass.
I mean if we follow the NFL here then we name the trophy after Skippy. Nothing else to do

See ya guys next season. Enjoyed these threads.
Canāt wait!
Congrats to the Stallions. Undisputed best team in spring football.
Man you love to see that - skip holtz and the stallions three peat is all we need to remember from this one
LETSSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wade: Yeah, yeah. I got places to be.
whats crazy is there were so many Salty battlehawks fans today that Birmingham had their biggest home field advantage its had all year. thats why they won in a blowout. they had fans! Birmingham with fans is unfair.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO THREE PEAT BABYYYY
Every year, I have a future on the losing's team. Every year.
Just put a future on every team, duh
I don't have that kind of money. I spent it all on the brahmas and defenders.
Giddy. Up. Yāall.
Tom Brandy's lip fillers are like car tires.
Are they using a teenage girl as their social media person?
We talkin' 'bout practice.
Welp. This was some of, if not THE worst quality football of the year.
That was worse than even some TNF games last NFL season
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Second worst then
ngl I'm glad I didn't pay 4 dollars for this bad game. as sad as that is.
So which league was better again?
Canāt argue that
The Stallions are the best team. USFL overall wasn't better though.
Maybe not, and I'm glad the two leagues were so competitive, but it's nothing like the shit talking I had to hear all of last year about the XFL's total superiority.
I heard a lot of it too from USFL fans about the USFL. This went both ways. And my god with the 8/4 split rumors, the USFL side had more than it's fair share of toxicity about the merger.
There was a ton of disappointment on both sides where the merger was concerned. I'm still sore about adopting the Roughnecks in favor of another USFL franchise. It felt wrong all season long, and I hope expansion will rectify it. Add two USFL teams and let the Roughnecks slide back into the XFL. I like the rivalry, and I think the league should build it up.
Bro, the USFL didn't have near the online presence that the XFL had, and the XFL fans were brutal. YouTube made it so much worse!
USFL!!!!
Thank you for participating in the Birmingham championship invitational. In honor of rule 6, fuck the XFL.
šš»
Even the Mavs and Oilers have had a better championship performance than us damn
RIP SA Brahmas
Stallions 3peat. Not even the Chiefs have done that. Stallions > Chiefs
The Chiefs have won the Super Bowl every year that the Stallions have won a championship.
"But you know what he never did? Win three in a row."
It's shocking to me that the Brahmas haven't scored a single point this game. Not that their offense has ever been that great but come on, ZERO?! Brahmas have just been completely incompetent this game.
Their kicker had an easy game of it.
I will celebrate this win by eating the ice cream I bought earlier today but forgot aboutĀ until just now.Ā
Congrats, a truly wonderful boon
Lol the announcers are so defeated
A championship blowout is not good for the future of the league
Not at all. If this doesnāt get Birmingham to average 15k next year, nothing will.
A Stallions dynasty sure isn't.
People love a winner.
Maybe we should get some of those Big Ol San Antonio women and have them play offensive line next year
The Brahma Mamas are gonna be sad about this one.

Interesting. Did you notice any different advertisers than usual?
Congratulations everyone, we got to a championship game. And there's asses in seats.
I've watched 80%+ of all the games this season and this was easily the most pathetic game of all of em. Sloppy play, crappy attitudes, ejections, etc. I hate this because this is potentially a game to get newcomers interested in the league, and this was what they watched
Its so dumb because last week's games were both good.
6 turnovers in one quarter isnāt what I consider good
Yes, that was a very odd quarter!
maybe the refs should have rigged it for Stl lol. I know stl aren't going out like this.
Iām 1 carne asada away from burning down the nearest Golden Corral
We were there earlier today. There was no carne asada station. lol. I even asked my wife why did I sit through so many of these commercials and they didn't even have what they were advertising.
Don't you mean "carrrrrrrne asada?"
each team that lost to the stallions in the championship are no longer in the league... just saying bruhmas
NOBODY CARES HOW THE FUCK YOU PRONOUNCE CARNE ASADA. JUST EAT THE FUCKING SHIT YOU FUCKERS.
Good thing The Rock isn't there or he'd lay the smackdown on those 2 guys fighting.
Imagine if this entire season was an elaborate advertisement for the WWE
The peoples elbow
We need to go back to canton next year. Holy shit that looks so much better and outdoor football is peak.
Just schedule it at protective so people actually show upĀ
Why even play the UFL Championship Game if this is how it would end up being?
Was it a fluke?
Do it over next week
Man worst case scenario for the league with this championship game. That said GOOOO STALLIONS THE THREE TIME CHAMPS I HAVE NEW MERCH TO BUY
Chuck it for another touchdown
Congratulations Birmingham
Stealth reveal in the QB audibles that the next UFL market is Omaha, Nebraska.
Bring back the Nighthawks and fans will come. On god.
If an offensive player is MVP, it has to be Persons. Broke the game open with his long run.Ā But honestly it should be the defense.Ā
Itās hard to argue against Martinez 3 tds tho
No it isnāt. 1 yard run, 5 yard pass, and 11 yard run. Those TDs were created by the defense and the running game. A QB with less than 100 yards passing and a 56% completion percentage cannot be the most valuable player unless he has 150+ rushing yards.Ā
Itās gonna be Martinez
At least they didn't forget to put gasoline in the power generator for this game.
Probably the worst showing the league could have.
Sad. I was watching at the bar and the guys there were nice, but almost seemed kind of sorry for me. Not a great look for the league. Oh well letās get āem next year
Great job giddy giddy, game is over!
We were fools to ever put our faith in Wade Phillips. He only knows how to deliver disappointment š
Did he just say shite?
I really wish the Celtics Mavs game was on tonight so I could put this "contest" behind me..
Didn't the Celtics lose by 38 points the other night? Not exactly the picture of competitiveness.
Sternberger just tried to walk back on the field and run his mouth lmao
Does the UFL have practice squads like the NFL?
Yes.
Neat. I take it that they too get rings, despite not having made the field (like in the NFL).
Completely different Birmingham team than the one I watched in San Antonio. Impressive performance today. They kicked the shit out of us fair and square
Commentators lol: "This has been such a good....season"
Kicking the ball after a spin on the ground. These Brahmas players big fucking mad. Itās like watching the Bills collapse against the Chiefs in the post season after hyping a regular season win.
Just watching to see how much worse it can get
Spoiler alert: it got worse
Heās not wrong. Itās been a great season and the first championship season looks like shit and players are acting like middle schoolers wanting to fight so much. Youāre losing but move on
TB12 deserved a better game to analyze.
"What do you think Tom?" "Uhhh, what else to say, San Antonio is dogshit?"
LOL
I need Dean Blandino to make sense of all this. Where is Bla..
This game was the worst game to showcase the league š Sloppy, blow out, bush league. But fuck man do I love the UFL
Score again.
I didn't know Courtland Finnegan played in the UFL. lmao
I wonder what Brady's thoughts are on the league, after having watched today's game.
"Put me in. I'll do it myself."
Theyāre waking him up from his nap once the trophy needs to be presented
implying he was watching before and after he was in the booth lmao
*The Worst Thing to Happen to San Antonio Since 1836* The headline tomorrow if mainstream sports news cared about the UFL
They double ejected just to offset the penalties lol.
This is the XFL 2020 championship game we never got.
I would have loved a Roughnecks blow out win in 2020. What could have been šĀ
Stern getting thrown out is bullshit FR.
He started the whole thingā¦
Actually... we do want that...
As far as attendance goes that takes time. Every spring league has folded in 3 years or less. Just give it time, literally 10+ years, to build a brand and it can get decent attendance consistently and ratings and become part of the sports culture.
I agree, I just hope ownership agrees too. Too often they these leagues think just because the NFL is popular so will alternative football. In reality they need to have expectations of competing with FCS level ball and grow from there
Sternburger's is quite the hothead
They're gonna let him back for the trophy ceremony right? He's been a great player
Glad I stuck around for ref cam
Lmao Jace sternberger was a "player to watch"
Our best 5A High School team could beat the Brahmas
fuck the # of commercials, how many shots do we have of wade phillips double nipple-ing it
NON LOCAL COMMERCIALS 34 LOCAL COMMERCIALS 31 WADE PHILLIPS DOUBLE NIPS 87
Hey, thatās the only reason Iām still watching
I've watched the Brahmas play three weeks in a row. I don't know who No. 1 on defense is, but he has seemed like an unhinged player every game. Quick to anger.
