Was watching the USFL highlights just out of curiosity this morning. There were literally less that 200 people in attendance in Pittsburgh. In fact I've seen bigger crowds at a Bomber practice. This league is not going to make it. Bluto, you may get MBT back yet.

Yeah, I watched a bit of the Michigan-Houston game…. In Memphis… And it was the same thing… Maybe a couple hundred people; maybe.  Shockingly empty.  Not sure how they’re still around.  Sponsors and tv contracts, I guess.  Can’t see how it’s sustainable.

It's on NBC, which is why they can afford to have low attendance.

The league also has a policy to not release attendance numbers. Imagine if it was the CFL that did that? We wouldn't hear the end of it from guys like Arash.

Gavin Garner looks like he belongs in Zoolander. I believe that look is called Blue Steel.....

Orozco sounds like a really good prospect. Was the best kicker in the n arena league by a lot. Supposed to have a big leg and plus accuracy. He finished hot at grambling state and was getting some good nfl hype from his work outs. Seems to have slipped between the cracks. 
 Gonna be a lot of boots in camp thats for sure.

Local kid (only 19) trying out for the Bombers as a territorial exemption. 

Mekhi Tyrell, anyone know anything about him?

Drew interest from the NCAA but had academic issues.

Getting attention from a perennial powerhouse like Alabama isn't something you see every day so I'm very interested in where this goes.

BC & Edmonton were also in the mix to get him as a territorial recruit it seems:

Sellers was in the CFL in '95....... TIL........... that is wild. I really thought Taman found him and brought him in. 

Well to keep the TIL going, he actually came in playing D-Line.  Edmonton switched him to FB in 1997 (he split time between offense & defense that year) before he went to the NFL in 98.
