OK, so you have a team that plays only 3 games in the season, all of them on the road, 2 head coaches, no social media presence, showed up 45 minutes before their first game to play, and at this point only 1 grainy picture of them on Facebook. Not even sure what their uniforms look like. As near as I can tell only the Daytona Racers are the only league owned team, so somebody, somewhere, has to be investing in them. But not making much of an effort to promote them. Anyone have info on these guys?

They are only playing 3 games this year? who would go to all those practices to make a total of $300?

That's part of the mystery. The official site said they were flown down to Orlando and almost didnt make their game in time. Theyre scheduled to play twice in Florida and once in N.O.. over a month's time frame. So do they go back and forth from Michigan ? While the other teams get bussed (they said lauderdale endured a 12 hour ride to NO. in a bus for their game). Maybe theyre better off being holed up in a motel somewhere halfway between New Orleans and the Florida coast.

I'd guess they're Peter J. Huthwaite's team. He's headquartered in Michigan, so it would make sense. They'd only play three games on the road to save money. It would be 17 hours by bus from Detroit to N.O. so they'd have to fly everywhere.

Well he better hire someone to promote his own team, lest they become the wandering barnstormers of the SFL with no fan base whatsover!

Get no argument from me. It's like they don't know how to get a fan base or don't care!

Well I hope they work out the deal they wanted with the Silverdome. As expected, no explanation from the league as to why they have no home games. Reading up on the Silverdome it looks like the place is hardly used at all anymore...
