And welcome to our next installment of the unofficial fan lounge, the unofficial UFL podcasts within the, this podcast is called for feed. I'm Mike Chernevsky. I'll be posting this episode. And let's get right to it's week two of the United Football League season, 2025. A bit of a rebound from week one so uh let's talk about so first game of the week Birmingham 21 Michigan 12 this is playing in front of a crowd of 10,49 in Detroit which would make it the their best performance attendance wise in front of a Michigan crowd so glad to see those numbers

numbers that go up Birmingham 1-1 Michigan also one-on-one so a good first win of the Defane champs and we have a DC 17 Memphis 12 at Audie Field 13,142 in attendance and once again we had a good beer snake going this was a much closer game Winston Hunt's returned to coach for Memphis in this game, so I can see him back after taking a week off. And, yeah, DC still undefeated to a no, and Memphis still winless at O.N. 2.N. 2. the Sunday games Arlington 11 Houston

9 in front of 9,582 at the Arlington Pententry So Closer game So good to see that Arlington 2 and O Houston O and 2 And then

The game of the weekend as far as I'm concerned Balhawks 26 San Antonio 9 the first of two will be playing

the Brahmas at the dome attendance 32,115 and remember we're the only team that really gets above the 20 mark, let alone let alone

32. So good job of the Bailhawks. Good job of Jacob Saylars again getting it done with three touchdowns. And yeah, really excited. Balhawks 2 and O. San Antonio

O and 2. Before we get into week three discussion, I do want address this notion of relocation in the league.

I think it's a bad idea. Then again, I am a Battlehawks fan just as any Battlehawks fan about what happened almost 10 years ago now with the NFL

and being told we're just a baseball town and everything being branded as bad football fans all because in order decided to relocates the only people

the only people relocation helps I don't think relocation helps anyone actually it only hurts it only hurts the fans that are being abandoned So this idea of moving Houston or Memphis

just because their attendance is well not great I don't necessarily buy that and I do think it's a bad idea because there are reasons that both those teams in particular are not drawn well well it's because they're not playing well all right and and if the league had a promotion relegation system we'd be talking about these teams going down a level as

opposed to moving them no when team gets relegated you can still pull for them and everything just in a lower division if you relocate them they're going on they're as good as dead and the US is a is particularly bad about this you try to do this you try to do that in any other country in the world there will be riots all right just look at the Wimbled and FC situation to use an example never done again all right so that out of the way

let's knock the real location talk off and let's talk about week three especially because they're all playing in their home cities and that's playing hubs like the USFL hat so let's not get off

week one and uh excuse me week three game number one the Friday night game off Fox will be Arlington at Birmingham at the Protective Stadium so expect a lot of shirtless fans in attendance. This one I am going with Birmingham to win their home open. Excuse me, to win their home opener. Game number two this Saturday afternoon. game on ESPN, Houston and Memphis at Liberty Stadium.

Hopefully the Yacht Club continues to come at. That's the one positive event. Memphis is that they're a hardcore Yacht Club members who will support the team. Let's build on that. Let's try build on that this weekend. and I think they will someone has to win this game choose and I think that someone's going to be Memphis

because after all Memphis only two wins last year were against Houston and I don't see that changing much so I'll go showboats over the roughnecks

then the two Sunday games the early one is San Antonio at Michigan Panthers 101 Brahma's 0 and 2 I think

Michigan keeps it up and I don't know what the heck's going on with the Brahmas this year but they might turn around

they might not this would be good for them to do so to stay competitive especially in the XFL conference You have a three-way tie with the other three teams there. I'm not seeing it this week.

I will go Michigan to win. And the last game, D.C. at St. Louis at the dome. The big rivalry. There will be no beer snakes at this one. We'll just keep calling. slap this in the face we'll just call you right back if you saw the clip

of the Balong fan being slapped gold just gold and yeah we have been consistent this year and just

dominating we look like a championship caliber team right now and no reason for me to not say that we're going to win this one. So Balhawks over D.C. this week. If you want to get us back in D.C. with the beer stakes, that's fine, but we take this one. All right. So those are my

picks for week three, Birmingham, Memphis, Michigan, and St. Louis. And that would go for this edition of the unofficial fan club. Good luck to all the teams of this week. and we will talk to you next week. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
