Finally our first mention of the #USFL-#XFL merger on Live TV.

"More details coming soon."

Let's hope soon is sooner than later.

Of course it's the guy that's the tie to the OG. I mean if the Ville were playing in the Duke's Mayo or Pop Tarts (or Queen City/Tangerine for vets) bowls ESPN would have had the announcement.

Apparently any footage from the original has in fact crossed through the sale and merger, putting that to bed.

Apparently the USFLPA told its members the announcement is coming this week, which at this point might mean tomorrow.

"In the upcoming week" was the actual language from the text, so I'd expand that to cover the next seven days.

I almost forgot that Brohm was the backup to Browning Nagle when they pummeled Bama in the Fiesta Bowl. QB3? Erik Watts.

In a foreshadowing of his "I'm with Daddy" wrestling career (which not only spanned a year where he unfortunately feuded, and then teamed, with Arn Anderson and then a brief bit in the WWF when Cowboy went to work for Vince), Brohm tore his ACL and Watts became the starter the next year, as Louisville plummeted to 2-9 :lol:

Keep in mind that this promo was actually aired during the Holiday Bowl, and that Jeff Brohm is one of the coaches in that game.

So the use of the clip is likely related to fair use tied to his current coaching career.

Thus the preceding "the guy that's the tie to the OG"

But if Louisville were playing Oregon State in the Sun Bowl Friday would CBS have used it?
