UFL begins tonight (Thursday Oct. 8th)

Are you hungry for more pro football?  The United Football League begins its inaugural season tonight when the California Redwoods and the Las Vegas Locomotives kick off at 8:00 pm.

The games will be broadcast on Versus and HDNet.  You can watch tonights game online at the leagues official website www.ufl-football.com.

I'm anxious to watch tonight.  With Major League Baseball playoffs and college football tonight I can't imagine they draw much of an audience.

There is at least on tie to the Heartland.  Former Murray State linebacker Nathan Williams is on the New York Sentinels roster.

The Sentinels open the season Saturday night at Florida. The game can be seen on HDNet.

Drum roll please....The moment (I'm sure) you have all been waiting for... my UFL predictions.

Las Vegas over Florida to win the UFL Championship.

I like the Locomotives for two reasons.

• Head Coach - Jim Fassel (former head coach of NY Giants)
• Quarterback - JP Lossman (former QB of the Buffalo Bills)
