Re: XFL
I believe all the Mountaineers that were on XFL rosters have since moved north of the border to the CFL. I just scrolled through the XFL rosters and there were no Mountaineers to be found.

Re: XFL
The Sun Belt had an article on their website. None from App as NavyApp mentioned.

Re: XFL
Despite no Mountaineers, I decided I am a diehard Houston Roughnecks fan. I have absolutely no reasoning or basis for this, but I'm now a Roughneck 'til I die.

Re: XFL
It actually wasn’t a bad product. It’s football, and I’d much rather watch football than most other sports. I’ll keep watching for a while, and I do not hate the kickoff rule.

Re: XFL
Media is saying crowds and viewing audience is low but those who went are passionate and were loud. There are some good rules changes and it is worth a watch from the little I saw but I don't want to invest time in something else that goes under. I do think of all the leagues this one has the best shot. I just don't think a lot of people will want to watch players cut from the NFL.
It will be interesting to see if the NFL Combine or XFL has better ratings when they go head to head.

Re: XFL
I’m a fan of a ton of different sports so the XFL just doesn’t do it for me.
Between Premier League, NHL & NBA, I have a hard time slotting time in to watch the 3rd best football league. We will see how this one does.
