Team of the Century??

Post by BobBowen45014 » Sun Mar 25, 2012 3:00 am

Literally....Cincinnati Commandos 104 - Huntington 12. That is NOT a typo. Cincinnati totally punished the Hammer....errrrr...Wildkatz. Huntington was horrific.

Erie beat a team 138-0 last year. 104-12 isn't as impressive as you think.
What are you doing here?

You can't have a "team of the century" in a league that is totally bush.

Anyone who didn't see this type of punchline. When the joke of a UIFL "rebranded" and added travel teams; hasn't been around indoor football for very long.
Adios, OSC message boards. (2007-2017)

Are you seriously happy about that score?

2012 looks to be the year of the travel team blow out.

It's SIFL-ishious!

League records defined by replacement teams because real teams couldn't be located.

-----------------

Sheehan Throws for 10 Touchdowns in 104-12 Win
March 24, 2012 - United Indoor Football League (UIFL) Cincinnati Commandos

Cincinnati quarterback Tyler Sheehan threw for a UIFL and franchise record 10 touchdowns as the Commandos defeated Huntington Saturday, 104-12, at the Cincinnati Gardens. It was the most points scored in a UIFL and Commandos history. The previous UIFL record of 88 was set Friday by Erie.

-----------------

You're right coach, it looks like the year. I guess the new goal is to set a new record every week. Have any any Pop Warner teams been sched yet?

In the AIF, the Cape Fear Heroes beat the MD Reaper 92-20....and Maryland isn't a travel team.
The Richmond Raiders kept it close, 70-42 against the upstart Knoxville Nighthawks.

I think we're going to see a much greater percentage of blow outs this season across ALL of the leagues.

Yes, the 2,000 or so people who were there were very happy about that score.

I get that 104-12 scores aren’t the greatest, but in this case, 104-12 will serve the Cincinnati market better than 66-12 would have. It’s something to sell, and more importantly for other people to sell to their friends and get more people to the next game. And unlike blowouts against Indy and Chicago from last year, the fans were very much into this game the whole way, including the fourth quarter.

I was worried this game and the next one (Sting at home April 7) would hurt attendance, but from the reaction tonight, I’ll be disappointed if there aren’t more people at that April 7 game to see if they can do it again. Then, fortunately, they get back to competitive football, with two homes games against their rival, Marion, and what should be a really good home game against Erie (they do have one other home game with Rome remaining as well).

If the schedule was full of Huntington and Western PA the rest of the way, yes, that would get old fast and be bad. But with good football on the way, I think tonight will work out in the Commandos favor in terms of building their fan base.

I don't see how anyone can enjoy that. Even if your team is on the winning end it gets old fast. You shouldn't have to pay to watch such ill-matched teams. It just embarrasses the league itself.

How does this game even count? The Hammer are not listed on the UIFL website...so does Cincinnati get credit for a win against a non-league team?

Huntington folded in late January after the league was sold by Cecil Van Dyke and Assured Equities IV, back to Andrew Hines and Michael Taylor. Five other teams folded - Canton Cougars, Carolina Aviators, Danville Dragons, Tennessee Rail Runners, and Kentucky Monsters - reducing the number of teams in the league from 16 to 10.
