New Football League?
Of all colors, Why burnt orange?
That could be cool.
So far the Big XII is not one of the Conferences.

Like the playing requirements....The teams will play their games in the schools' facilities or in bowl stadiums. All 44-48 players per team must have graduated from college and exhausted their college eligibility.

did somebody say new football league???
I think P.T. Barnum has been reincarnated in the person of Cedric Dempsey.
it's not even really fair to classify any new league with the xfl. that was a complete joke. besides, this would be minor league, it would be differentOriginally Posted by badger

"That's the same Barry Switzer who won three national titles (and a scary 83.7 percent of his games) at OU and, whether you like it or not, has more Super Bowl victories than Marty Schottenheimer, Marv Levy, Bud Grant, Dan Reeves, Andy Reid, Jeff Fisher and Lovie Smith -- combined." -Michael Silver, SI.com
Man, I forgot about the xfl.
Minor league football would be awesome. Arena is the suck, and the World league is in Europe.
I actually kind of liked the XFL.
i will admit, I did too and it disappointed me when I heard they were cutting losses.
it gave me remote hope that the nfl would make some changes to make the game more fan friendly. examples include:
1-More players mic'ed.
2-Locker-room cam!
3-Nicknames on jerseys
4-No fair catches (those are lame)
5-No coin tosses (equal with fair catches)
I thought that if it stuck around longer, the nfl would be forced to accept some of their ideas. However, it is now a running joke of "failed ideas."
The great thing about this would be it employed your favorite Sooners who didn't make a NFL roster. Also each team would be regionalized so it would be like a Big 12 vs. Big 10 feel.

Great idea. It would be fun to see if the Minor League Ags coached by RC could outdraw Frannocio's bunch. My bet is that they would.
How many people would go to a Pro Football game at Owen Field in April or May that was filled with former OU, OSU, Texas, and A&M Players?
I am thinking many would.
Anything to expand the number of months in the year when I can watch football would be a very good thing.

affirmative
graduating AND using up all of their eligibility seems a little steep though
yeah, cause Prentill Elliott can't support his family on his GUnit salary alone

Therefore, as a result of their instate role as perennial losers in the series, the Cowboys have been consigned to the role of bridesmaid within the borders of the state for the past one hundred and two years, forcing them to relinquish the vast majority of the glory and fame to their rivals in Norman.
