I agree with BC's picks there. The only one I'm not sure about, believe it or not, is Mississippi. From what I've heard talking with people, they could be pretty ugly.

Rome as a travel-only team is uglier I think, but one never knows...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Eastern Kentucky at Marion Blue Racers was voted the UIFL game of the week for Week 1.

FINAL Western Pennsylvania Sting (0-1) 7 Erie Explosion (1-0) 81
NOTE: WPA is a travel-only team (made up of semi-pro's who seldom get a chance to practice together). So take this score with a grain of salt as far as a measuring stick for Erie.

Good quote for the player, though - 95% of the fans in that arena have no idea they just played an illegitimate team. They just think the Explosion beat someone down.

95% of the fans are not new there and they definitely remember the ridiculousness of the SIFL last year.

This is true, but you overestimate how much the casual fan cares. If Erie runs a professional-feeling ship (and that is debatable), the fans won't care near as much.

I don't overestimate anything. I was just calling out 95% as a ridiculously high number. I'd say 60% of the fans are totally clueless.
