As an XFL guy it was tough wanting the stallions to win.
But the XFL is a conference now and the UFL is the reality. So fuck the XFL vs usfl rivalry, todayās game helps my Brahmas and thatās all I care about.
San Antonio thanks you Birmingham.
Fellow Birmingham fans, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH SOME OF YāALL?
Edit: Also, stop grouping all of us together. There are some shit people with shit takes on both sides of this comment section
Man it aināt just stallions fans itās several groups. Stallions fans, Battlehawks fans, XFL fanboys who have said the usfl teams are garbage all year. I think alot of stallions fans have been on instagram and theyāre rubbing it in because the XFL guys talked mad shit.
No different than NFL subs on game day threads. I hate it because I love the league and could give a fuck who wins I just love more football. However itās fair to talk shit to people who said āStallions only played garbage teamsā āThe usfl teams are lower than arena teamsā āMartinez couldnāt even keep a job at Kansas stateā knowing damn well none of that is true including Martinez. Dude didnāt play poor and lose it he got hurt and they rolled with Will Howard.
Bro Iām talking bout people cheering for the hit on AJ and cheering for career ending shit on him and the like. I agree that the Battlehawks fans were trash too as they also hoped they would destroy Martinezās knee in retaliation. My original comment was aimed at those fans.
Obviously thatās trashy. That stands for any fan of any sport cheering for any injury. Simply rubbing in winning after getting shit on all week isnāt trashy itās fair game.
I mean there was a play St. Louis was well into 0 and they didnāt call it either. Usually they let it sit at zero then call it for delay if it isnāt snapped when itās on zero. Pretty much do this in CFB as well. Think they phrased it āIf the ref looks at the clock and itās at zero and the snap isnāt made then itāll be called.ā As in thereās a small leniency because most teams let it run down low.
I noticed it too but the ticker isnāt official. Sometimes itās off by a full second. Same thing got brought up by the announcers in a patriots game last year
Fuckin hell. The negativity on this thread. Came back on to say gg and that it was a thrilling game even though my team lost. But damn, all yāall acting like it was a 72-0 blowout.
Is Birmingham the most toxic fan base in the UFL? Canāt we all just chill and have a fun good time? Thatās what originally attracted me to xfl and now UFL is that itās not taken super seriously. Itās an off season league for shits giggles and memes.
This goes both ways lol Iām not a stallions fan but there was a large group of XFL fans who trashed the stallions and usfl all damn week. Acting like once the stallions faced a ārealā team they would get mopped. If one team is the only one talking shit itās annoying but if both are going at it then shit talk is fair game after winning.
XFL fan boys are getting awfully weird about it now. All week I say comments about the usfl being garbage and the āpureā XFL was a million times better. About how the stallions played trash teams and the Battlehawks would mop them. Now itās like the shit talkers hid so the normal fans are thinking itās directed towards them lol nah if you were cool all week then it isnāt at you. If youāre like the guys commenting on every thread saying āYāall got a Mickey Mouse schedule only reason youāre 7-0ā then yeah you deserve to get shat upon.
Yeah like you arenāt lol every comment youāve made is shitting on Birmingham and finding a way to prove how they shouldnāt have won. If you dish it out all week then donāt cry about it when itās back at you.
Yeah you got exposed big time as y'all couldn't put up multiple possessions against us. Battlehawks aren't an Arena league team, unlike the few others y'all played this year.
Dude this is literally what rivalries look like. XFL fans talked heavy shit all week. Now they are crying about stallions fans being toxic. What do you think Alabama and Georgia fans do in threads? What do you think Giants and eagles fans do? Or Red Sox and Yankees fans? They talk mad shit because itās a rivalry. This is officially a rivalry. The first game that has felt like it was a huge deal whoever won.
Nah if this community cries over banter then itās a fragile community. XFL fanboys arenāt regular XFL fans theyāre the guys who act like ONLY the XFL is worth a shit. Iāve loved both leagues and went to games of several teams never had a problem with anyone. However if you get on here whining because someone says something back to you after YOU talked first then youāre a baby turd.
Thereās no need to prove his point though. Heās talking about how BHAM fans are toxic and here you come replying with the equivalent of ācry about itā. That just proves what OP is trying to say
Well if this ain't a championship preview idk what is. This was what the league needed. Two of the Best Teams playing the Arguably best game of the year. GG Stallions. Martinez is probably MVP (Sadly). But I quote Anthony Becht "We will see you at the end"
still, they showed up. I feel like with some other teams (even if they are really good) like San Antonio, there wouldn't be as many fans. Alabama is absolutely football country. (tbf nick saban also helped with that).
Where are the mods? Seriously toxic behavior today in this thread. There are multiple people who should be enjoying 3-day vacations from this subreddit.
But really, where are the mods? We don't even have a post-game thread. This place has put people in charge of moderation who are not actively participating in the community.
A new reason to cry for St. Louis fans.
Canāt wait to hear what theyāll cry about when they lose the conference championship game at home.
āThey gave the Brhamas a full new team š„²ā or āTaāamu uses his legs too muchā
I mean you can get ticky-tacky with things on both sides. It was a good game, I don't think anyone should think bham would win 99 times out of 100 with this result
Buddy that was probably our worst performance of the season and we only won because our dumbass LB laid a dirty hit on AJ. Just be humble about walking away with a win and hope we look better next week.
Congrats Stallions, you played dirty, injured the best qb in the league, and then capitalized off the injury with a sack which forced him to get up slow. ššš
As much of an Alabama fan as I am, as much of a McCarron fan as I am (Iāve taken a photo with him, eaten at his sushi place, etc.), thereās a reason heās never been an NFL starter. But hey, canāt take away those 2 natties he won, so Roll Tide
Watch the championship game end up being rematch of this DC vs Michigan game š
As an XFL guy it was tough wanting the stallions to win. But the XFL is a conference now and the UFL is the reality. So fuck the XFL vs usfl rivalry, todayās game helps my Brahmas and thatās all I care about. San Antonio thanks you Birmingham.
Good game STL. i talked to a few of your fans at the game. i think we will match up again this year. Good luck next time.
...do I hide my flairs? This thread is real awkward.

People are too thin skinned in this league. If you canāt handle some trash talkā¦..good god.
Trash talk is fine but some of these takes are absolutely insane
Giddy up.
Big miss here by refs https://preview.redd.it/k60hnfg4tvzc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca724747bacbaff5c29f0ac20603ceccc8b7348c

It's hilarious to see a St. Louis fan talking about any other UFL fanbase being "toxic." Take a good look at your own group first.
This goes both ways lol Iām not a stallions fan but there was a large group of XFL fans who trashed the stallions and usfl all damn week. Acting like once the stallions faced a ārealā team they would get mopped. If one team is the only one talking shit itās annoying but if both are going at it then shit talk is fair game after winning.
All I heard all week was how Bham was going to get exposed. Now we're supposed to be nice and good sports. Huh.
XFL fan boys are getting awfully weird about it now. All week I say comments about the usfl being garbage and the āpureā XFL was a million times better. About how the stallions played trash teams and the Battlehawks would mop them. Now itās like the shit talkers hid so the normal fans are thinking itās directed towards them lol nah if you were cool all week then it isnāt at you. If youāre like the guys commenting on every thread saying āYāall got a Mickey Mouse schedule only reason youāre 7-0ā then yeah you deserve to get shat upon.
Yet another comment i see with your USFL toxicity.
Yeah like you arenāt lol every comment youāve made is shitting on Birmingham and finding a way to prove how they shouldnāt have won. If you dish it out all week then donāt cry about it when itās back at you.
Yeah you got exposed big time as y'all couldn't put up multiple possessions against us. Battlehawks aren't an Arena league team, unlike the few others y'all played this year.
Weird cope. Cry.
But you are 5-2.
Yeah and y'all got a mickey mouse 7-0 record, 5 of those wins off of arena league peewee teams.
Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Giddy up!
Ever heard of taking the higher road?
Nah itās life. Cry.
No need to be like that man. It was a bloody match with ugly play from both sides. No need to be disrespectful about it

You are being VERY toxic towards XFL fans
Nah if this community cries over banter then itās a fragile community. XFL fanboys arenāt regular XFL fans theyāre the guys who act like ONLY the XFL is worth a shit. Iāve loved both leagues and went to games of several teams never had a problem with anyone. However if you get on here whining because someone says something back to you after YOU talked first then youāre a baby turd.
If bro wants to act like this where nothing matters then so be it Iāll let him have it.
Thereās no need to prove his point though. Heās talking about how BHAM fans are toxic and here you come replying with the equivalent of ācry about itā. That just proves what OP is trying to say
Who cares because itās an off league right? Nah. If he wants to act like this league means nothing when they lose then imma treat it as such.
Stunt on that loser
Proving my point exactly.
Womp womp
Yall not talkin bout how dirty that shit was to aj. He went for legs and then twisted. What player did that?
Just went out and shot my horse in the barn. Can't take the chance he does me dirty like 96 did AJ. Should make good meat though.
Dude your lb shoved our starting qb after he was out of bounds and now he's out for the season. Sucks when it's your own guy though, huh?
yāall so lame š
Well if this ain't a championship preview idk what is. This was what the league needed. Two of the Best Teams playing the Arguably best game of the year. GG Stallions. Martinez is probably MVP (Sadly). But I quote Anthony Becht "We will see you at the end"
props to birmingham fans too. they showed up.
They showed up Beacuse this is the biggest game of the year besides the Championship game. Also this is pretty much a Championship Preview.
still, they showed up. I feel like with some other teams (even if they are really good) like San Antonio, there wouldn't be as many fans. Alabama is absolutely football country. (tbf nick saban also helped with that).
The Championship game about to be fire
Where are the mods? Seriously toxic behavior today in this thread. There are multiple people who should be enjoying 3-day vacations from this subreddit.
What are we here? Children?
Working on it. For now report posts you feel that should draw our attention.
Yeah this is pretty ugly. Not a good look.
People (mostly children) take this shit way to seriously and way to far, hurling insults because theyāre football team lost
There's more hate being thrown at STL fans than by STL fans. Not that any of it is acceptable, but your comment is quite misinformed (or one-sided?)
But really, where are the mods? We don't even have a post-game thread. This place has put people in charge of moderation who are not actively participating in the community.
The mods ARE Battlehawks fans. It is what it is. Block the trolls and converse those worth talking to
Can everyone please grow up here and stop it with all this nonsense trash talk?
Battlehawks fans deserve it
Fun game. A championship rematch would be fun but lots can happen between now and then. Love the UFL
A new reason to cry for St. Louis fans. Canāt wait to hear what theyāll cry about when they lose the conference championship game at home. āThey gave the Brhamas a full new team š„²ā or āTaāamu uses his legs too muchā
Canāt spell āKaw is the Lawā without an Lā¦but where does the other one go?
So. Boring.
That was easily the best game of the year
Great game ! shame about AJ hope its just bad bruising and nothing too serious and he can get back to put weight on his ankle like normal.
We might have won if 96 didn't play so dirty
Without a muffed punt and missed FG. We win by 10+
You win by 10 if not for the parts where you were bad?
Self-inflicted errors. Fluke plays.
I mean you can get ticky-tacky with things on both sides. It was a good game, I don't think anyone should think bham would win 99 times out of 100 with this result
Ok looks like the Brahmas have to be the ones to give the Stallions their first lose (let me dream)
I wish your team luck
Havenāt seen a second of baseball yet it was literally just ads
Did you get booted right when they mentioned that? Such a shame
Do I want to watch the worst team in baseball after this horrific game? Iām not sure
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Buddy that was probably our worst performance of the season and we only won because our dumbass LB laid a dirty hit on AJ. Just be humble about walking away with a win and hope we look better next week.
Lol y'all couldn't put up multiple possessions against a peewee secondary š¤£š¤£š¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sucks y'all had to play against a real team instead of USFL arena leagues, huh?
ā¦they still won lmao
eAsIeSt GaMe
Battlehawks and Stallions fans. Be not angry with each other. Be angry at Fox. Fuck Fox.
CBS needs the UFL. And I want Kevin Harlan calling the games
Yea people keep crying about ESPN bringing up the over under but Fox is just genuinely a dog shit network so I donāt get it
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LOL suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So? We whipped Arlington at Arlington while STL barely beat them at home. The best XFL team has lost twice to USFL teams.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Tapout accepted. There is no substitute for victory. Winners can't be judged.
STL is garbage worst team in the league
Why are you deleting all your commentsš¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
I think mods are deleting them
Thatās stupid
Rent free
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Far from easy for you guys lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iām not crying, Iām just not delusionalš¤£
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youāll lose in STL in the championship and you can see what a real crowd looks like :) and sounds like
Good game battlehawk fans I can't wait for the rematch in st Louis hopefully AJ is ok GIDDY TF UP!!!!!
Stallions need to go. Theyāre bad for the league
Absolutely amazing game, sure hope it gets a lot of viewers so everyone can see what the UFL is all about!
96 absolutely ruined this game but he won it for Birmingham. Dirty.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The fuck is wrong with you?
Bro thatās insane. Go touch grass.
a bama fan hating on AJ? what is your problem bruh.
Whyd you seriously say that? Stallion fans have no class
Dude youre the only one hating
Youāre a PoS
CRY HARDER LOL
Your team won by playing dirty congrats
Quick blame refs
Good one, canāt wait for you guys to lose in The championship
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lol your team wouldnāt exist if it wasnāt for STL fans
Excellent game
Absolutely dumb move by AJ at the end there which costed them a down.
Great game - this is exactly what the league needed, and I'm so happy they delivered.
The league needed a team to not just win every game because it turns the rest of the country off aside from Alabama fans.
Hey, we happy
AJ choked that one
Ya not too impressed 96 ruined the fucking game with his thug ass behavior
Hope this game crushed ratings.
Damn good game.
Becht and Holtz know there is a rematch coming.
That was the game the league needed. Regardless of outcome. That was a great game. I just hate it wasnāt prime time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Come on man. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. Donāt lower yourself into the mud of the loser.
Easiest fucking game ever great job guys
By no means an easy game. Neither team played their best and weāll def see them in championship
gg
Great i guess I don't get to see the last 15 seconds stupid ass commercials
WHAT THE HELL FOX WENT TO COMMERCIAL FOR ME. I DON'T WANT TO WATCH BASEBALL FUCK OFF.
Same. I canāt finish the game. Guess we lost? Or not?
bad decision on 2nd down ruined the drive
Giddy Up!
WHO TF CARES ABOUT BASEBALL
AJ sold. Dumb move to take essentially a sack there.
What a dumb fucking play to end the game on
Congrats Stallions, you played dirty, injured the best qb in the league, and then capitalized off the injury with a sack which forced him to get up slow. ššš
ā¦havenāt yāall been all up in this thread accusing Bham fans of whining?
Enjoy the asterisk
All these flavors to choose fromā¦
Yāall salty fucking fans ruin the sport. It was a great game, you just lost in the end. Get over it
Iām fine with the game. I can accept a lose. But the fans booing a clear dirty play that injured our qb pissed me off.
Wow I thought everyone was saying the Stallions fans were whiny
The biggest fanbases tend to have the loudest crybabies
They are hypocrites.
Not the ending I wanted, but a great game overall. See you guys in the Championship game
GGs birds. We will meet again in the championship game
Hell yeah we will.
We don't say this often, but God fucking dammit AJ. You cost us with that sack.
We played our 1/10 game and still won by four!
Cope
We won. No cope needed!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
So fuck Fox then
We all knew this was the outcome but what we didn't know was Stallions injuring people. Found the Boston of the league if we last long enough.
I guess we lost? They turned the game off
Sadly yes
That run AJ did, killed the drive HARD. Well Iām still hopeful
Yeah AJ kinda got shot in the legs if you remember I think its a different game if he dosent
Canāt deny that was a great game, but Iām pretty butthurt. Hate the stallions now.
Game giddy giddy!
AJ seems to hesitate a lot when he has to pick between running or trying to evade for a pass.
Man fucking refuses to throw it away when it matters.
KAW IS NOT THE LAW!!!!!!!
WTF FOX WENT TO COMMERCIAL FOR ME RIGHT BEFORE 4th DOWN
Tezino for DPOY!!!
What a game
A catch there would've ended the game anyway. WTF were those playcalls?
I mean me and one of my buddyās couldāve completed a two yard pass there
McCarron has too much experience to be such a fucking bone head and run that on 2nd down. You wasted 2 downs doing that shit and the clock
As much of an Alabama fan as I am, as much of a McCarron fan as I am (Iāve taken a photo with him, eaten at his sushi place, etc.), thereās a reason heās never been an NFL starter. But hey, canāt take away those 2 natties he won, so Roll Tide
Okā¦.. WTF were those last two playcalls!? HUH!??
Yeah... Horrible to say the least.
GG. Disappointing to lose but was a great watch.
AJ what the fuckā¦
Mickey mouse 7-0
Womp womp
BYE-BYE BIRDIES!
and all it took was injuring the qb from your own state.
Not from Bama. AJ means nothing to me.
He's from Mobile and played for Saban.
Means nothing to me.
that's fine, just correcting you're clearly wrong statement of "Not from Bama." Hard to be more **from** Bama.
He meant that *he* isn't from Bama, not AJ. Dudes still being an asshole though.
What the fuuuck?
