Bells and Badgers - Previewing the Summer Series Week 2

Week one of the Summer Series is in the books.  And we still have two more weeks and four more carnivals to go.

From Cincy and Sac-town we now go to the Mad-House and Philly.  The keystone of our early nation, and the center of the USAFL mid-atlantic region, the Philadelphia Hawks host their second USAFL event with familiar foes for the hosts.  The Wisconsin Wombats, based in Madison, will welcome in new and old rivals as they build up their own reputation against some of the league’s best.

Here’s what’s on tap for Saturday, August 14th.

We’ll have live coverage on each of the tournament home pages, as well as our Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts.

Here’s what’s on tap for this weekend:

What's On Tap: July 24, 2021

Another week, another loaded schedule of games as we go traipsing through the Bounce Back summer of USAFL football.

This new Saturday dawns with four events; a battle in a battleground state, a three-way tussle not terribly far from the mighty MIssissip’, a showdown between two teams separated by a lot of desert, and debutante standing up against a historical Goliath in the women’s game.

Here is what’s on tap for Saturday, July 24th.


Boston Demons (0-0) vs Maine Cats (0-0)
10am EDT - Griffin Park, Windham, NH

2021 USAFL Tournament & National Championships Schedule Release

The USAFL Executive Board is excited to announce that the USAFL will be hosting 6 sub-regional tournaments across the country for summer 2021.

Club input via the USAFL Club Conference in February and recent Regional calls has been critical to shaping the 2021 season. Based on this feedback and the varying circumstances across the country, the USAFL Executive Board has decided to pivot from the normal Regionals format this year to sub-regional tournaments to provide all clubs accessible USAFL tournament football ahead of 2021 Nationals.

Be a Devil - North Texas Joins USAFL Lineup

The saying goes that everything is bigger in Texas.  And that is true in every sense of the word.

It’s the biggest state in the continental US.  Heck, it was its own country at one time.  It has its own culture and its own identity.  And when they embrace something, they do it wholeheartedly.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and greater northern Texas embody this.  Nearly two centuries after its foundation, it continues to be one of the fastest growing areas in the country.  And… they love their football.

That Was the Year That Was 2020

It is December 31st.  The final day of the year that seemed to drag on for three or four.

366 pages fell from the calendar in 2020.  In that respect, it was like any other year, or at least the ones that fall when we play catch up to account for the earth’s rotation around the sun.

But 2020 was not any ordinary year.  It is one that we will have to carefully explain to our children, grandchildren, niblings, and others who are either too young or not hitherto born yet, about what excitedly living through this year was like.

Sweet Home Alabama; USAFL Welcomes Birmingham Bushrangers

The state of Alabama has a long and robust history in gridiron football.

It is one that spans the long and time-honored traditional Iron Bowl rivalry to the mid-major and HBCU schools, all the way down through high school and the short lived forays into the pro ranks.

But from that, a new football tradition has emerged, crossing codes onto the Australian Football oval.
