>> MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The Memphis Showboats are coming back for another season.

USFL President of Football Operations Daryl “Moose” Johnston says the USFL is here to stay, unlike so many spring football leagues that came before it.

Johnston says the league is very happy with their inclusion of Memphis. The team is in their first season in the Bluff City after moving from Tampa.

“It was a very difficult decision to move that franchise away from Tampa Bay and here to Memphis, but it was the right decision,” Johnston said. <<

I hope they keep their gameday local radio broadcasts too!

This isn't much of a surprise, TBH. Now they need to figure out where to place the Breakers, Maulers, Generals, Gamblers and Stars.

So much for that "temporary hiatus," huh? Not that the Bandits ever set foot in Tampa Bay to begin with...
