Season 7 is nearing the halfway point. The weather is getting cooler and daylight savings time is about to hit, so make sure you check out the Schedule page for the most up-to-date game times.

On October 9, the Hot Dogs beat the Ill Eagles 112-56, breaking the all time single game high score of 81 set by the Gnarwhals in Season 6. First 100 point game in UFL history! The Hot Dogs improved to 4-1 on the season and took over first place in the league until this past Sunday, when the Gnarwhals (4-0) defeated the Unicychos (1-2) 62 to 12 to move back into first.

Coming up this Sunday, the 0-4 Berzerkers look to get their first win of the season against the 1-3 Los Bierdos. The Berzerkers have been playing strong despite not winning this season, but the newest UFL team, Los Bierdos have already notched a win against the Unicychos and look to get another this weekend. The experienced and tough Berzerker squad will be looking for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.

The standings as of October 16 are below:

Standings (As of October 2)

1. Gnarwhals 4-0
2. Hot Dogs 4-1
3. Ill Eagles 2-2
4. Unicychos 1-2

Come out to the game – Los Bierdos and Gnarwhals have merch for sale! Only 10 bucks for T-shirts (both teams) and the Gnarwhals have stickers ($1), koozies ($2) and hats ($10) as well.

As of October 2, here are the league standings:

Standings (As of October 2)

1. Gnarwhals 3-0
2. Hot Dogs 3-1
3. Ill Eagles 2-1
4. Unicychos 1-1

This Sunday, The Hot Dogs take on the Ill Eagles in a battle for 2nd place. The Ill Eagles and Hot Dogs are both playing tough games this season, so this could turn out to be a preview of a playoff match. The Ill Eagles are losing defensive force Dank Tank, but with the return of Crazy Horse they should be in position to make the playoffs this year.

On October 16th, the Gnarwhals take on the Unicychos in one of the league’s historically most intense rivalries. The Unicychos and Gnarwhals will both be playing on several weeks rest, so it should be a good game. The Unicychos lost their best offensive players this season in Turbo Van Winkle and Macseth, but with new QB Fresh Nasty and several other additions, they will look to upset the first place Gnarwhals.

Also, Gnarwhals and Los Bierdos merch is now available at the games! The Gnarwhals will be selling hats and t-shirts, and the Bierdos will also be selling t-shirts. Go get one!

Last, a reminder. With daylight savings time creeping up, game start times will be earlier. Check the schedule page for the most up to date start times.

See you on the field!

Attention! The season 7 schedule has been updated and can be viewed on the schedule page. Before November 6th (DST), normal games are at 4pm and doubleheaders are at 4 and 6pm . Starting November 6th, the sun goes down earlier, so normal games are at 2pm and doubleheaders are at 2 and 4pm.

The teams page has also been updated. If you have any roster additions, please let me know and I’ll put them up.

Also, thanks to Matt Potts (Magnum 44) we now have a lost and found! You can get his number off of the Contacts page if you lost something or are looking to return an item you found. Thanks Matt!

This weekend is a doubleheader. At 4, the 1-0 Gnarwhals take on the 1-0 Ill Eagles. At 6, the 0-1 Hot Dogs play the 0-1 Berzerkerz. Temps will be up above 100 again, so make sure to bring plenty of cold water for the game (and cold beer for after).

See you on the field!

The UFL season kicks off this Sunday with a doubleheader! However, the games will start at 4 & 6 pm, not 2 & 4 pm as listed on the schedule. All games will be at 4 (4 & 6 if doubleheaders) until daylight savings time kicks in. I will update the schedule shortly, but for now make a note.

See you all on Sunday!

I was just hand delivered a copy of the Season 7 schedule and will have it online later today.

The first game of the season is August 21, and there are going to be six teams playing for the Stupor Bowl trophy. Hell on Wheel will be replaced this season by San Marcos’ newest team, Los Bierdos. Hell on Wheel will be focusing this year on starting up the UFL Austin division, so if you are interested in playing in Austin keep checking out the site and we’ll have more info for you soon.

A reminder: All games will be played at Farmers Market Field at the corner of Edward Gary and San Antonio in San Marcos, Texas.

Also, Guerrilla Games are still going on in Austin this summer. We should have a schedule of those up soon as well.

Hey all!

Welcome to version 3 of unicyclefootball.com. There have been a ton of changes, and a lot more will come over the weekend. We are excited to have a better content management system in place (go WordPress!), so news and updates will be made on a more timely basis.

Due to a glitch in the database, our forums had to be reset. Unfortunately, none of the forum data or posts were able to be recovered. No worries though, we now have new forum software in place – Vanilla Forums – and it is great. Head on over to the forums and re-register when you can to keep up with all of the UFL discussions.

We are all excited about this summer’s Guerilla Games (more on that soon) and the upcoming regular season, which will introduce a new team - Los Beardos – out of San Marcos. Make sure to keep checking the site on a regular basis for the latest news and info on the league.

See you on the field!
