We look forward to seeing your alls up here for the game.

It's just a reflection of their membership.

It's certainly an awkward example. That's not to say that everything that fails the first time won't necessarily someday succeed. But the smart thing is to be wary of blissfully jumping into something that's failed before and has no guarantees to succeed the next time. Spring football is a big gamble with no guarantees of success. Under Coach Bowden the Zips are just starting to claw their way out of a dark era of failed football and finally starting to taste success and gain respectability. Odds are in favor of the Zips continuing to show increasing success in traditional fall football. It's highly risky to gamble on throwing that away in pursuit of an experiment that so far has only been proven to fail.

Does anyone else see the folly that the USFL is being used as an example of how this Spring plan would work? Did it work for the USFL (ah -no)? Not one person I've talked to is interested in this switch. I smell money for a select few in this situation (greed) corrupting this conversation. There's plenty to watch and do in the Spring and Summer without having a minor league college football conference playing on TV.
