US Pro is tough. We wiped the floor with the two pro leagues who were willing to take us on in a 16 team challenge.

While this is not news to anyone, I think a couple of the new teams will do very well up here, but a couple could struggle. Just to show you how tough it is, here is a summary of the Pro teams and how many conference championship they have to their credit.

If any members of these teams want to post in the thread, let me know what league you started in. If you have only one conference championship, but started in US AAA then that doesn't necessarily mean you have had less success than a team that started in BBB but has 3.

Monmouth Evil Monkeys - Seasons 2, 3, 5, 6 (season 1 in SA)

Honolulu Hurricane Warriors - Seasons 2, 3, 4
Las Vegas Flyin' Elvis - Seasons 2, 4, 6

Lincoln Navigators - Seasons 4, 5

Gridiron Rage - Seasons 2, 3
Kalamazoo Coyotes - Seasons 3, 5 (Original Pro Team)

I left out the demoted/CPU teams, most of which have at least one win to their name as well.

The MAJORITY of the league has two conference championships to their name.


I'm offended that you did not include us in the Original AA team category. Considering our past.

I was going to only do the Original Pro teams. Once I got past your team and farther down the list I decided to fill in a couple of others ones that I knew, but I didn't go back up the list.

Nice list, just about all the US Pro teams have had pretty good success. That's good to know, makes for interesting season's, going to be interesting to see how the new teams come up and aim to compete.

I don't think any of the new teams are expecting to have an easy time in this league. Before mass relegation started, people were making the argument for CPL and OPL and shit, but that was because of the bottleneck at the USA AAA level. You had several gutted teams that weren't getting demoted, and the top AAA teams below them were moving up to fill their place 4 at a time. Now that they are promoting 8 at a time, it fills out the depth and makes USA Pro in my opinion hands down the most challenging league in the game. This league separates the men from the boys - the teams that don't have what it takes gut very quickly, and new teams rise up to take their place, of which only a few crack the upper echelons.

This year's crop of new teams brings plenty of championships too, but most of the teams that were already here had to claw their way up through leagues under the old relegation system where even at A and AA level there were some excellent teams left behind. Now, just about all the best teams move up in packs, so the teams that do promote aren't quite as battle tested as teams like OFG, Richmond, Monmouth, Cincinatti, etc.

No he is saying that AAA #2 was better than the pros before the realignment. Which is correct.

WPL represent.

After our first season in Pro, all I have to say is......bout time we met some good competition. There are some great teams in this game....I think you find them in each of the Pro Leagues, but the overall quality in the USA Pro is absolutely the toughest. Great season all and good luck recruiting.

Next year will be even tougher, as it will be known as the season of the Yell.
