NEB BILLS FAN Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Have former Bills on their roster: Angelo Crowell Sam Aiken Shaud Williams Pat Thomas Chad Jackson Nick Hennessey Omaha Nighthawks Roster All playing alongside Maurice Clarett. LOL Ryan Neufeld was there as well but plays for the Florida Tuskers now. Boy with the current roster we could start an entire speculation thread on who will be in the UFL in the next couple of years.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Have three former Bills on their roster: Angelo Crowell Sam Aiken Shaud Williams Pat Thomas Omaha Nighthawks Roster All playing alongside Maurice Clarett. LOL Ryan Neufeld was there as well but plays for the Florida Tuskers now. Boy with the current roster we could start an entire speculation thread on who will be in the UFL in the next couple of years. Crowell was a descent linebacker, I guess he is just getting a little old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Jose Bills Fan Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I think there's considerable doubt whether there'll ever be another UFL game played. Didn't they shorten the season this year after teams had a hard time cutting paychecks? As for Crowell, I'm not sure he could pass an NFL physical. A lot of these guys either love football or have zero other employable skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEB BILLS FAN Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I had to edit this thread because I found other former Bills players on the roster that I missed. Yeah I believe Crowell was racked with injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEB BILLS FAN Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 I went to the Nighthawk's final game last year in Omaha. Good atmosphere, fun game, but the negative 50 degree windchills made me leave shortly after half time. They lost anyways. I did get some good footage of a Nighthawk player being lifted off a pile of players during fumble recovery by a ref. He swung around and completely cold-cocked the referee in the face. Oddly, they didn't call any type of penalty on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Love seeing a Nebraska fella as a Bills fan...I spent three years in Omaha in the 90's and Nebraska fans are as rabid about their Huskers as we are the Bills. Plus Omaha is actually a fun city (despite what some may think) Glad you joined NEB Fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEB BILLS FAN Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Heya BringBackFergy, Well I'm from Ransomville NY originally. Just got placed in Omaha with the Airforce and have never left. Got a good thing going here, good work, my daughter and grand-daughter are here. I haven't been home in like 10 years unfortunately. But I still root for the Bills out here. Even have a Bill's Backer bar I can go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEB BILLS FAN Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Yeah I was getting into the Nighthawks. Their team colors are black with shades of grey, blue/grey, and white on a black background. Their logo is a black stealth fighter flying through a black and grey "O" for Omaha. Too bad the UFL sounds like another defunct league going down the drains. The season tickets were $80 plus but you only get like four home games. The Nighthawk's first season started out hot then fizzled out much like the Bills so they brought in Joe Moglia, (TD Ameritrade's chairman) to coach and they stunk it up this year as well. Apparently Joe has 16 years head coaching experience besides his business education. They went down like the stock markets this season as well!

Except for the fact that you're geographically close to the Nighthawks, you sound like you have a similar fascination with them than some of us did with the USFL (Jim Kelly) Houston Gamblers. The Gamblers had these really cool unis… mostly black with red, white and grey trim. They ran Mouse Davis' run and shoot offense… a 4-wideout spread attack way before its time with smurf receivers Vince Courville (Vitamin C), Gerald "The Ice Cube" McNeil, Richard Johnson, Ricky Sanders and Clarence "Verdance" Verdin. They had a nice fullback in Todd Fowler and a tough, overachieving middle linebacker in Kiki De'Ayala. They routinely hung 30+ on the scoreboard, won tons of games and were a very exciting football team with their wide-open offense and sharp unis. No they weren't the NFL but they were just as exciting and often times, more exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I wonder if each NFL team organized b squads that played on off nights every other week what the TV ratings and attendance would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
