To all the USFL Lives fans out there.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been following me on this crazy dream of an alternate world of USFL football. Hard to believe I started this project 3 years ago, in the depths of the lockdown, and nearly 5,000 pages of text and over 1,000 articles later, we are creeping up on 30 seasons simulated. It has been a lot of work, too many hours to count, but it has also been one of the most enjoyable things I have every done, and whether you have been following this imagined world since the first kickoff in our fictional 1983 or have just discovered the site, I want to thank you for being a part of this journey with me.

In the next few months we will be celebrating 30 simulated seasons, looking at yet another potential growth for the league, and plenty of exciting developments as we march into the 2010's and fast on our way to 40 years of alternate history. There will be more polls and comment-surveys so that you can be a part of some of the decisions to come, and a lot of great players who could find themselves landing in the little spring league that could. I am also always happy to get comments, suggestions, and corrections when my sleep-deprived mind makes a major goof, so please, keep connecting and, I hope, keep enjoying this site.

As the real world new USFL seems about to become something very different, I look back fondly once again to the league that cemented my love of football back in the 80's and wonder what could have been. My simulation is absolutely an imperfect imagining of possibilities, but I hope it has kept going for you a love for possibilities, for alternative football, and for the original USFL.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Yule, or any of this season's holidays, even Festivus, which I always enjoy, I hope the season finds you and yours healthy, happy, and loving life. May the new year bring joy and love to all.

Your humble USFL Imagineer,

Allen
