Had that game on for a few minutes. Had no clue he played in the UFL and wife and I were talking about ideas to want people to watch. Way to go, Callahan!
Feels like MSU could have promoted him playing today.

I’ve felt for a long time that MSU Athletics information should make some attempt to follow their athletes and document them on msubobcats dot com. The primary reason the task falls to them is web locality. It’s the one central place that fans know to look. Non-MSU media occasionally does some nice followup articles, but honestly, unless someone posts a link here how many would read it? I’m saying that Google is simply no replacement for a page following notable stars who are still playing, or players who have gone on to cool things like Joey Thomas. This example today would be top priority. Checks four boxes. Star player! Hometown player! Still playing! Games on TV! It shouldn’t have been a mystery that Callahan was still playing — it should have been right on msubobcats. This shouldn’t include a high workload — leave the user to ferret out the details like there was a game today on TV.
How many would like to see a nice directory of names, with the option to split split by year(s) participating and sport. For Callahan, an entry listing his years played, sport, and current team affiliation. That’s enough, for most players.
There should be a form for players to send updates. Some would certainly do that.
How about a few NIL ads surrounding these player entries? Think any eyes would have seen Tommy Mellott’s page if it included just a few links like to his draft video and the Raiders interview? Drafted players should have a higher level of information, but that workload is pretty small. Let it get bigger!

Had I known he was playing, we would have had it on in the background for what was a lazy Saturday. Just a simple Txeet from MSU would have let fans know that he was playing yesterday. Since I didn’t know, it seemed like bad professional football with nothing to keep me watching.
As for the UFL, they need some innovation. A few we came up with were:
1- some plays live in All-22 with Joel Klatt explaining the route trees or running lanes
2- a way to coordinate play calls into the TV with play design before it happens. Route trees or blocking lanes
3- some “fun” offenses like the run-n-shoot or a read option offense as the base for different teams … maybe even a triple-option with good receivers…
just some ideas to make it seems like a much-lesser version of NFL football. Make it more college-advanced than NFL-light and see what happens. A place for NFL innovation, not just a Temu version of the NFL.

I do have issues with some MSU social media stuff, but I first saw this interception on MSU social media. They are promoting some things.

I live in Saint Louis and it’s been fun to follow Callahan as he becomes a bigger contributor . He’s becoming popular amongst the stl battle hawks fans and since the city is a large Irish population they love the O’reilly name.
