And that’s a wrap on @theufl’s season. What did we think about the #UnitedBowl? Are the @uflkings deserving champs? Plus our overall thoughts on the season and what we want to see next year.

UT just fired KUT GM Debbie Hiott. Just a reminder you can be great at your job and highly regarded, but you are not free to speak your mind when your higher ups are politicians or political appointees. https://t.co/VxBxsEpCSE
Have yourself a day, Adrian Rodriguez!
- Third player in MCWS history to hit for the cycle
- 7 RBI are tied for the most in a game in MCWS history
- 5 hits are tied for the most by a Texas player in a MCWS game
ESPN went out of their way to produce an in-studio Pre-Game & Halftime show for the #UFL playoffs, and they knocked it out of the park.
The United Bowl production on ABC was especially impressive:
- Roddy Jones as the primary analyst was an excellent choice, he's called a plethora of spring games over the years, his knowledge of this space was on full display
- Bringing in Renegades HC Rick Neuheisel, who has tons of media experience, brought it to another level. That chemistry w/ Roddy and insight was tremendous, Rick is made for the camera
Hope we see ESPN bring this back next season. It looked, sounded, and felt very professional.
A floodgate will open at Tom Miller Dam soon. That will send water from Lake Austin to Lady Bird Lake.
It has been a while since that has happened. It will be quite the scene around Red Bud Isle #atxwx
One note I want to make real quick that I thought was cool: Mike Repole spent an hour with the media and then afterwards took time to shake hands with every media member. A lot of good stuff from his presser. #UFL
@DonBattleHawk One of the things I think the league should do is lower the prices on all the gear. Make it easy for a family attending the game to purchase gear for the kids. Helps build community and lifelong fans.
Personally it’s hard for me to spend more than $25 on a hat or shirt
@USFLExpert@DonBattleHawk Football outside in June in the south? Not a good idea and attendance would be terrible.
Plus with the season practically running into training camps, and all OTAs missed the chance to make the NFL for many dries up. Thoughts @bini_nicholas ?
