BigSammyK 171 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Has anyone heard of this new Spring league? 8 teams playing in a 10 week season. Chris Davis, Ike Powell, and Ryan White are on the Birmingham roster. Steve Spurrier is the HC in Orlando. Seems like it could be mildly entertaining. https://aaf.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Freak 2,528 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Looks like even more Auburn players on the Iron's roster. Ton of Gumps, too. Quan Bray, Avery Young, Ryan White, Chris Davis and Trovon Reed. No one on any other team, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It's regionally based on purpose. Auburn players will always be on the Iron, with exceptions to QB who are allowed a little more freedom to fit schemes for coaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Awww man, Gary Danielson is back on commentary. I bet the kick six reference will definitely be mentioned the first Iron game he calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 And after I say that, Orlando gets penalized for bringing 6. Just think that’s a dumb rule, it’s football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 This league is perfect for Spurrier. No extra points, 4th and 12 instead of onside etc. Who would have thought he was auditioning for this league in his last game against us Haha? Maybe he can check off being successful as a pro football coach now. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

around4ever 4,139 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The talent level has surprised me a little. It's not bad and will get better as they play more games. I may have to go the Legion Field to see the Iron play a game or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Either way I would say a successful debut. Orlando looked good tonight. #51 on defense was everywhere. What a game he had! I liked the comment by Gary about Spurrier. Since there are no extra points, he has no choice but to run up score after a touchdown lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgic football fans love it as it represents what the NFL used to be about. Still, the traumatic brain injuries are life altering injuries and the Alliance isn’t immune to lawsuits. BTW did the Birmingham Iron win? How did our former players do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Birmingham plays today, but only in CBS sports network, a paid subscription channel Orlando scored 40, with the orange and blue colors reminded to a little of the Spurrier of Florida days. Atlanta was not very disciplined. Aaron Murray came in at garbage time and seemed to be moving the team better than Sims. Sims got lit up one time in this game on a rollout, but just like the other hit, it was clean. Only 5 man rushes allowed as mentioned above.

I have the sports package and that channel still is not included, ridiculous. On another note, I did enjoy the game, my only real gripe is the 5 man rush, but we will see how that goes. Not really a gripe, can’t say I’m a huge fan, but the uniform designs, etc, remind me of NFL Europe. They’ll probably grow on me, but the legends could have had a much better looking uniform set imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,075 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The uniforms will take some getting used to. San Antonio's is atrocious. Red on darker red with a Bama style helmet is a fail. I was OK with Orlando and San Diego last night. Love the Fleet logo on helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have DIRECTV Sports Package and do get the CBSSN (Ch 221). My understanding is that the Birmingham TV Market will be blacked out though. I will set the DVR just in case.
