Really hoping the UFL is here to stay for Spring football 💪🏽
Yes dude, and if it could do a merger with the NFL so practice squad players could opt in that would be sick
@@Ayowtfisgoingon NFL isn't going to do that...I understand the whole dream of that happening but i dont see 32 owners along with the NFLPA ever agreeing to that
I just don’t understand why they didn’t bring but 4 teams from the old xfl and usfl, basically why just 8 teams? Wouldn’t have help expand the fan base if they had brought more and thus possibly make it more profitable to ensure it sticks around?
@@churchld2524 because in order for the league to survive they had to cut costs....everyone has this mindset that they should've spent money since the owners combine for more than 100 billion dollars in net worth but that was obviously the deal between the owners and the government for them to approve the merger so they had to start small and then bring those teams back so the league can make money on its own instead of the owners covering the costs
@@churchld2524 They have made the reasons very clear.
2:51 one of the craziest catches I've seen in any league.
Shades of Santonio Holmes Super Bowl 43.
High key better than that tyler locket catch
He is the some of Vince papali from the invisible movie
I did that befo not that crazy practice makes crazy look normal 💯🫡
"Hit hard, but he finds Pleasure."
Roughneck QB learned something about himself today.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha *Pledger but still hilarious
He's not P.J Walker thats for sure
@@TCT92Graphics DAMN RIGHT, PJ the Best QB the franchise ever had...
really hope this league expands
GOOD IDEA! Let’s start franchises in Orlando and Salt Lake City!
@@Steamfan1 Salt Lake Cougars and Orlando Palms

No. Bring back the Philadelphia Stars and place a team in San Diego.
@@AdderTudei can only see San Diego getting a team if they add LA and Oakland as well. It would be too much travel from San Diego to the Texas and the East Coast. That's why Seattle wasn't used. I see New Jersey Generals ane Philadelphia Stars being the first two expansion teams since it's close to Washington. Adding two USFL teams will balance the league as well since it's currently 5 XFL names vs 3
I was already a Vipers fan and excited when they moved to Vegas (Im in AZ), but now they are gone. Maybe they can come back.
I love watching how the calls are checked live.
Something the NFL will never do because of the Vegas bookies calling the script.
Damm Rueben Foster, dude was a beast in college.
Dude was a beast in this game too. Tackles for loss, INT, Fumble Recovery... it was lookin good until he got injured in the 4th
He was decent on the skins for a while too
Lurk artist....that pick was crazy.
If he has his father's name his dad and my dad were fire fighters together. Then Ruben ( the father) became an Arena football referee
I’m glad that this league is here to give the guys who either just weren’t quite good enough for nfl or those who have aged out of nfl a chance to play more football. They dedicated their lives to sport. Even if it ain’t the biggest stage
UFL looks so promising I love the roughness of this league💪🏾
There's a freshness and simplicity about it, that is nice. NFL is stale with all the money and legacy issues.
Its football baby!
I find it ironic that the NFL employed the XFL kickoff rules but the UFL went back to the traditional style
USFL had the normal kickoff which UFL are using. They changed the kick off at the 20 XFL had the points after touchdown rule. So they kept each leagues rules. They could switch to the XFL kickoff rules in the future. We will see.
You can see my fiancé and I on the second Roughnecks field goal. We’re to the top left of the uprights. I’m wearing a black shirt and shorts and I threw my arms up when the field goal was good. We’re practically famous now :)
Can you put the time were it happed
😂 I wanna see I'm curious
7:09
Weeee
Daym they be lighting these QB's up in this league. Love it
They're not spending 50 million a year on the QBs here so there's not an incentive to change the rules to protect them. It's just football.
The league isnt structured to rely on attendance alone, the ratings and tv money is what kept the league around during it's hub fase and still will. If they average 10k a game they will be off to a good start. If they average more they will talk about adding teams.
Agree. People expect it to be similar to the NFL, but it's not. It's not designed like that at all. Just as an example, if the average NFL player makes $1m a year, with the top players making $50m. In the UFL the average salary is about $60k for six months work, and the league MVP with bonuses might clear $80k. It's just a different league entirely.
I think people should compare UFL attendance to things like mid-week daytime MLB games, or mid-week NHL game. If the UFL can get close to 20,000 on average in 2025 or later, that puts it even with MLS, also many MLB, NHL and NBA games. Some NCAA football teams like Temple, Villanova, Butler, etc. hover around 15,000, with many tickets paid for in bulk or blocks by alumni and/or given to students.
Thinking the UFL needs to be like the NFL and fill stadiums with 50,000 fans and top weekly TV ratings is an irrational comparison.
Exactly. The viewership is miles ahead of attendance. The merchandise and ratings is a lot more than many think. The UFL could be an amazing opportunity for D2 and D3 players to show their talent
My issue is you already have Disney involved here with ESPN. I am not sure if Disney will open a check book to host the back catalog on Disney Plus or Hulu, as well as stream games. And I am not sure if their association will prevent the UFL from landing a deal with Amazon or Max. I could see Amazon licensing games while the NFL is in its offseason in order to keep Sports fans subscribed to Prime. It's a win-win there and could help bring in revenue to fund the league
@@DJSkandalousFox owns half the league. Disney is just a broadcast partner
@@notdeci3120 Numbers released for week 2 were very solid. Slight drop from week 1, which was expected, plus there was heavy sports competition elsewhere. But still about 900k viewers per game, which is better than the XFL or USFL last year, by a fair amount. Streaming numbers unknown, but likely higher than any other spring league in history. This is all good news for the UFL, all of it.
Im going to miss the XFL name and some of the heritage of the USFL Brand. But the presentation and quality this time around is impressive. Hope this sticks around!
The announcer was so into it, it’s awesome.
As a roughnecks fan, it sucks to see them lose their season opener.
Last year's team was better
@@ShaneDouglas713 to me, I would say it’s too early to call. You have the best USFL teams vs the best XFL teams.
@@louplays9544 I guess we'll find out in a few weeks then...
@@ShaneDouglas713 I think last years team are basically in San Antonio now. At least the coaching staff is.
@@NineballChris I was pissed off when I found out Wade was in SA, just look at what the Brahmas did today...that *domination* is what this Roughneck team is lacking...
I cant go to games but I will support this league with UA-cam views if I can
Liking and commenting on their posts on social media helps build impressions and encourage more people to check out the league as well
Went to this game. It was so incredibly boring until the very end. And its not the leagues fault - the HOU offense needs to be seriously revamped. Defense was good, and Memphis has a competent QB but a bad RB. Could have been very different - I couldn't identify a single good player on HOU offense. MAYBE the QB Guarantano had some promise if he wasn't so scared of defensive pressure.
The UFL season has begun…🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈
The catch @ 3:09? Chris Carter would be proud! Excellent catch!!
Great football, I really like this brand of football 🏈
Cookus was great in this game
Per usual
#LetsGoShowboatsBaby!!🚢 What a contest!! Credit to HOU for a tough game the whole 60 minutes through.
Yeeeeeaaaahhhh!!! Let's go ShowBoats!!!!
The roughnecks helmet design looks cool af from a distance
This is amazing football and i love it
Both these Uni’s are heat 🔥🔥
I’m loving the UFL so far!
Memphis!!!
Not the son of Vince Papale from “invincible” making one of the greatest catches in the end zone.
Cookus is so good
We need Cookus not to leave 😂.. To get buried on some practice squad
I LOVE THE UFL!!
Anyone else really like the roughnecks jersey???
Wow man the last 3 minutes of this highlight was crazy
At least they are doing normal kickoffs!!!
week 1 was awesome. great product on the field. everybody playing hard as hell
"The Shake! The Bake!"😂
Insane that this stadium hosted a Super Bowl back in the day. Clearly inferior compared to UH stadium but it’s in a better part of town and will work for spring ball
The only reason why Rice Stadium is being used is because TDECU is under renovations.
Lets go let's get this over 100k views!!! FOR THE LOVE OF FOOTBALL!
Just passing through to tell the UFL we need a team in Canton! Me amd my brother took my dad last year and we had a good time!
The USFL was a defensive league to me and I saw XFL as offensive league. Now, we all know defense when football games.
WIN not when
Hope this league stays stays for the players who don’t make the nfl just like nba got the g league 💯‼️🔥
That fumble in the red zone... gotta protect that ball and have awareness
Really solid start for Memphis and Cookus. Roughneck offense just never found a groove. It can only make you wonder how the "real" Roughnecks would have done (this team is essentially the Houston Gamblers).
The UFL should do the "Inside the Drive" series.
Since there’s no home team for me I picked the showboats, let’s go boys!
I'm moving to Fort Worth next weekend so I guess it's the Renegades for me. Maybe until a team is placed in San Diego.
Subscribed to the channel. Thanks for not spoiling the result in the thumbnail like a lot of leagues and channels do. ESPN's video gave away the winner in the thrumbnail.
So I've subscribed to this channel and will NOT be watching the videos from ESPN's channel.
uff goot a new fan
They should do a lottery pick at half time.👍🏾💪🏽💸
Seems the USFL dominating the XFL so far
#GiddyUp
They’re 2-0, yea. But this year’s Roughnecks was last year’s Gamblers, so they aren’t really an XFL team
@@zattisq3395they should have kept the gambles makes no sense to have 5 XFL teams and 3 usfl
@@allamericannightmare4904there’s 4 of each. There’s nothing un even
@@allamericannightmare4904It’s the same Gamblers team, but with the Roughnecks brand. The oil theme fits better than gambling imo
@@zattisq3395 is that a usfl name? No it’s a XFL name and brand which means it’s a XFL team. No one knows that they’re the gamblers just only us actual fans know. Regardless I feel they should have 4 USFL names and 4 XFL names.
Is that the same rueben foster drafted by the 9ers a few years ago?... cool to see him doing well in UFL.
Reuben being here is cray, but atleast he still balling
😮 adorei o gramado
I was there. Section 107, baby!
Crowed looked on the light side. Hard to tell looking at the hilights. How was it?
@@PhilAndersonOutside Attendance was 9,157. Hopefully we start seeing stadiums fill up as the season progresses
@@PhilAndersonOutside Most of the fans were sitting on the Roughnecks side of the field.
USFL’s BIG DAWGS
Decent game, Stallions on top of the league still
Attaboy Cookus,
Do it in memory of the Philly Stars ⭐
Sometimes they just get it wrong, St.Louis Showboats and the Memphis Bells. Bomber artwork on the helmets. Not a bad product so far. I’m watching.
It is great for more pro football teams to exist so that the guys can play the game they love, but how can a league continue with crowds like this game???
XFL fans represent the UFL by buying tickets. USFL fan boys represent the UFL by staying at home and trolling on the internet.
XFL fans mad because their teams are inferior. Cry about it
😂 not going to lie, I love this rivalry already! LFG RENEGADES & XFL!!!
Lol, we already getting to this on day 2 of the UFL season. Can't wait to see what comes next for Spring football
It’s just the XFL branded team name. This was a USFL game basically. Showboats vs. Gamblers.
Either way, let’s be happy for the UFL and hope it profits so the other 8 abandoned teams can return.
@@JayRose1000 this league will fold quickly unless the USFL fans buy tickets to their team’s home games. It’s not enough to talk smack about “being better” if nobody shows up to watch them.
Nice to see Reuben Foster outta trouble after his Niners stint!
They got rid of the real Roughnecks and ruined the brand. This was trash today. Hope things improve.
Offensive line looked horrible I just hope they improve during the season
Agreed, this scheme on offense was just not it. Feature Mark Thompson more once he’s healthy. They better find Kenji Bahar from last season!
Agree, and I'm not a fan really of either team. It just makes you wonder if most of the players on the actual Roughnecks were on this team, that is mostly the Houston Gamblers.
@@CookedGames281 let Jarret gel with offense and when Thompson comes back it should be fine
@@PhilAndersonOutside in short, they’re not the same at all but in backups.
I live in Houston and have heard that when both leagues combined they had different plans. During the last draft this staff wanted to shore up the front seven of the defense. The former XFL roughnecks coaching staff moved to San Antonio with wade Phillips and kept their scheme intact. They won because of it.
This staff, in my opinion, put their eggs all in the Mark Thompson basket like DC did with Abram Smith and Jordan Ta’amu. This season is just starting, so we’ll see how this league plays out.
Come on Roughnecks. We will get them next time.
Give us a team in Milwaukee please :)
Yes
BOATS SHOWED UP TODAY
we got deestroying in the ufl, now get adam botkin in for memphis kicker
Let's go Boats!!!
Good to see that boy rueben foster
Seattle Sea Dragons,*Oakland Lumber Jacks*,Virginia Vipers,Orlando Guardians
Bro HOW did he stay up @4:24 😳 My Goodness
Hoooston have the best designed uniforms ever imho
We got to see why Rueben Foster was 1st round pick and why he isnt still in the leauge.
GG Showboats
Case cookus will dominate the league
You know your league has a referee problem when your competition puts play reviews into their highlights.
They need coach prime in the ufl will boost ticket sales and viewers
It feels like the deadball era all over again!
Great THUMBNAIL! i´m sick of the highlights with the thumb of the winner of the game. That make me whatch this clip
UFL EMOJIS:
Houston Roughnecks: 🛢️
Memphis Showboats: 🛥️ or 🚢

Go Rice!
Any Memphis fans @ the game tday?
roughnecks simply didn’t want to win💀
Offense played like it was a scrimmage. No urgency. Easily looked like the worst team this weekend. At least on offense.
So number 80 is cut
Too early to call them frauds but when I heard the Roughnecks were in the USFL Confrence I had a sinking feeling that this was just the Gamblers wearing Roughneck gear. Again, too early to tell, but I don't see the Roughnecks from last year.
I think they are the Gamblers. I think the Roughnecks are in San Antonio. At least the coaching staff is.
Mostly Gamblers
Players from last year plus other USFL
Guys who played on teams that don’t exist anymore.
🎉
They gotta just let people in to fill the seats
They do but it was Easter Sunday. It’ll grow as the season goes on. Winning games definitely helps encourage more to come out and support
As long there is some people there to fill up the stands behind the teams i think i will be happy with for the mean time. :)
Guaranpoopoo just like when he was at Tennessee
they were better off keeping the gamblers games they suck oh well im glad ufl is here and i hope its here to stay
@UFL you have had an "XFL" warter mark in the corner of ever of every video you have psoted this season so im going to need you to fix that!
I believe this was the XFL channel last year. We will see if that gets fixed soon.
Hou Offense just couldn't get going
Why is Rice Stadium and not TDECU?
TDECU Stadium is being renovated
Go Boats!
I would love for the Commanders to give Rueben Foster another chance
Houston looked lost out there. i hope this isnt what im expected to watch all season. Time to run some fumble drills in practice.
Why even attempt to catch that punt bruh. Tough way to end a good game.
Ufl should be just like the g league for nfl players
I like the standalone league feel more imo
@@DDDiego
I agree. Let the NFL sign players to big league play but most people already see the FBS as the NFL's actual feeder league. I think the UFL should grow to be an offseason rival to the No Fun League.
Its basically another profession league. Some call it a Minor League or G League. I am just glad to see more football and watch these players shine to get back on a NFL roster and then watch them shine on Sundays :)
Good game in the end. But just love the fact I’m watching football in March lol
how much are tix?
$22 is the lowest. Depends where you want to sit.
Too many costly mistakes cost the Roughnecks this game.
You know still some sloppy play but I could see lots of room for growth and improvement from the UFL.. they have to try and grab as many ex college guys and CFL guys as they can
Most of them have NFL experience or at least was on a team for a bit.
Why wasn’t Mark Thompson in the game?
Knee injury
0:32 horrible spot he was short a few inches...he slid to the spot WITHOUT THE BALL the ref gave him...
