Title: Pig Howard will be playing tomorrow! Vols in the AAF... Post by: Coupe De VOL on February 10, 2019, 12:35:06 EST I had forgot about this, but the debut of the AAF is tonite on CBS with a couple of games - we are getting Sandiego Fllet vs San Antonio Commanders, I think. Memphis @ Birmingham will be tomorrow at 4pm on the CBS Sports Network. Here are the Vols that I could find who are in the AAF.....
MEMPHIS EXPRESS 34 Rajion Neal RB 5-11 212 LBS Tennessee 81 Alton "Pig" Howard WR 5-8 186 LBS Tennessee 67 Dallas Thomas OG 6-5 314 LBS Tennessee 98 Corey Vereen DE 6-2 248 LBS Tennessee 45 Colton Jumper LB 6-2 228 LBS Tennessee 33 Justin Martin DB 6-1 195 LBS Tennessee ATLANTA LEGENDS 4 Matt Simms QB 6-3 209 LBS Tennessee I loved the WFL and the USFL and even the XFL was fun - I enjoyed going to the LA Extreme games. Seeing the Showboats and Reggie White playing in the Liberty bowl was just plain awesome. I loved that. This will not be that great, but It may be interesting. Better than the NFL, at least, but that is not saying too much. Title: Re: Pig Howard will be playing tomorrow! Vols in the AAF...

I know no one gives it a chance, but I'm looking forward to the debut of the AAF. Watching the CBS pregame show right now. Title: Re: Pig Howard will be playing tomorrow! Vols in the AAF...

No other players for UT on either team after a quick scan. There are several UF players on the Orlando team. Title: Re: Pig Howard will be playing tomorrow! Vols in the AAF... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 10, 2019, 02:38:39 EST The fact that he resides in the same city as a pro football team makes me really jealous of Penny Hardaway. :laugh:

In the AAF draft the teams have the chance to draft players first who played in the geographical area...It's why Memphis has several players from UT...Memphis State...Ole Miss etc...Orlando got first dibs from players who played college ball in Florida.

Vols in the AAF... Post by: Creek Walker on February 12, 2019, 04:47:11 EST Bruce Feldman pointed out that there were six former 5-star recruits playing in Sunday's Memphis-Birmingham game — the same number of former 5-star recruits as were playing in the Super Bowl a week earlier.
Further proof that stars don't mean a whole lot sometimes. Title: Re: Pig Howard will be playing tomorrow! Vols in the AAF... Post by: Coupe De VOL on February 12, 2019, 09:22:07 EST The games were pretty yawn inspiring and man, Memphis just suxes. However I will be watching again this weekend. I'm a little surprised how poor the QB talent was, or at least how poorly they performed. The D's seem to have an initial edge.
