We are now in Stage Three of the All American Football League™.
Stage One was "Are you crazy?"
Stage Two was "Hey, this just might work."
And now for Stage Three: "I WANT MY AAFL TEAM!"
The latest outbreak was Lincoln, Nebraska. A reporter from the University of Nebraska wrote an article about the league and how people liked it.
A Cornhusker fan read about the league and sent us a letter, telling us in great details why we should have a team in Lincoln. Then local talk radio picked up the beat.
So did the daily paper.

Then more talk radio. It might not be a full scale revolution, but it is at least an insurrection!
We are getting similar reactions from Arkansas, Minnesota, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio State, and other places where people love their college football.
Now Forbes is getting in the act:

This is on top of recent stories in CBS, Sports Illustrated, USA Today, and other major news outlets across the country.
And if you listen to sports talk radio anywhere in America, chances are you've heard NFL Hall of Famer Joe DeLamielleure talking about his son Todd, who had a great camp in Orlando, just a few weeks after nine firefighters from Charleston -- where Todd is also a firefighter -- lost their lives.
Joe has been on more than 25 of the biggest sports radio talk shows in America, talking about his passion for the league. Getting great response.
Travis McGriff has been talking up a storm in Florida talk radio as well.
Watch for an announcement for a Birmingham tryout coming soon!
All for now.
