Last night I attended my first live United Football League game after covering the development of the league from an idea in Bill Hambrecht’s head to a live, functioning professional league. A lot could be written about the game, well, a lot could be written about the Locos’ domination which was complete and total. Something could be written about the heart that the Sentinels showed on the sideline even as they were manhandled. I could even write about the experience of being on the field and having the opportunity to meet so many of the folks associated with the league – ranging from Doug Flutie to GM Rick Mueller.

The Las Vegas Locomotives kept themselves in contention tonight for a berth in the United Football League’s championship game.  At Hofstra University’s James M. Shuart Stadium, the Locos defeated the New York Sentinels 41-10 in front of 4,392 fans.  A complete box score can be obtained here.

The UFL plans to add two more teams and four games to each club's schedule next season, according to Rick Mueller, general manager for all four of the league's teams.

The Florida Tuskers continued their unbeaten run through the UFL with a hard-fought 27-24 victory over the Las Vegas Locomotives on Friday night in front of 11,354 fans at Tropicana Field.  With the win and their 4-0 record, the Tuskers solidified an appearance in the inaugural UFL Championship Game on November 27.  The loss drops the Locomotives to 1-2 on the season.
 

The California Redwoods kept themselves in contention for a spot in the Championship Game this evening with their 20-13 victory over the New York Sentinels. The New York Sentinels were welcomed in their first home game by a crowd of 10,318 at Giants Stadium. The Redwoods moved to 2-2 on the season, while the Sentinels fell to 0-3.
