The UFL announced that its season-ending awards will be determined by the fans through texting and online voting.

Fans currently can vote at www.ufl-football.com for the league's MVP, Coach of the Year and Fan Favorite Play of the Year awards. Fans will have the opportunity to vote for the UFL Championship Game MVP during the game's fourth quarter via text messaging.

The title game will pit the undefeated Florida Tuskers against the Las Vegas Locos on Friday in Las Vegas.

"The UFL is truly about the fans, and we wanted to make sure their voices were heard when recognizing coaches and players at the conclusion of our 'Premiere' season," UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue said. "By utilizing our Web site and text messaging platforms, we are integrating all forms of communication to engage our fans."

Jim HaslettWhether the UFL succeeds in the long run became irrelevant Thursday for the Florida Tuskers, who will forever own the accomplishment of an undefeated regular season after a 34-27 victory over the California Redwoods at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

The main focus for the league has been its search for fan interest, a place in the crowded sports landscape, and thus the ability to stay solvent the way other similar alternative professional football leagues did not.

As a result, the particulars of the UFL's play on the field -- and the Tuskers' success -- have been a sidebar, though not to Florida coach Jim Haslett.

TuskersUFL teams are playing out the string, starting Thursday night, when the undefeated Florida Tuskers take on the California Redwoods at AT&T Park in San Francisco.

Friday night, the Las Vegas Locomotives -- who will face the Tuskers in the UFL Championship Game on Nov. 27 -- tangle with the winless New York Sentinels in Las Vegas.

OK, the Tuskers have some motivation to stay unblemished while the Sentinels would like to pick up a victory. The games also are important to the players individually in their quests to be picked up by NFL clubs at season's end.

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- It was another easy victory Thursday for the unbeaten Florida Tuskers, who defeated the winless New York Sentinels 24-6.

It was more of the same for the UFL at Rentschler Field, where a sparse crowd of 5,201 turned out to watch the lopsided win for Florida, which has already punched its ticket to the UFL Championship Game on Nov. 27 in Las Vegas.

That wasn't the story, though, for those that watched and listened closely. Here is a collection of the best moments from the other Thursday Night Football contest.

-- Tuskers coach Jim Haslett beamed after his club improved to 5-0, though he thought the team could have played better. Either way, Haslett admitted that his experience in the UFL has allowed him to witness those who have brought joy back to football.

"They are having fun," Haslett said of his players. "It feels like when I played in the early '80s. Guys hung out and did things together. That's what the feeling is. Somehow, if you could take this feeling and bring it back to the National Football League, I think football would be a lot more fun for people."

Michael HuyghueEAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Rentschler Field, the University of Connecticut's football facility, served as a temporary home for the New York Sentinels on Thursday night. There is a chance it could house a UFL team of its own next season.

In a story first reported by FanHouse on Oct. 30, the four-team UFL announced that it will be adding two more teams and debuting a 10-game schedule in 2010.

Commissioner Michael Huyghue (pictured), speaking with reporters during Thursday's 24-6 victory by the undefeated Florida Tuskers over the winless Sentinels, suggested that Hartford -- a city within a state without professional sports -- is definitely a front-runner to land one of the new franchises.

"There are a lot of things that make us feel good about (Hartford) as a prospect," said Huyghue, a native of nearby Windsor, Conn. "It's a market that can draw from New York and Boston, and it's easier for football than for a sport like, say, soccer because football is naturally in people's blood."

The presentation took place just hours before the UFL contest between the undefeated Florida Tuskers and the winless New York Sentinels, who played at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn., for their final home game.

UFL commissioner Michael Huyghue and Chuck Steedman, senior vice president/general manager of Hartford's XL Center & Rentschler Field, delivered the check to the governor's office in person Thursday morning. The league was the first organization to pledge $25,000.

Ted CottrellHASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J. -- Ted Cottrell hasn't gotten off to a good start with the New York Sentinels, who have lost their first four games to start the UFL's inaugural campaign.

Cottrell, though, is relishing the opportunity to be a head coach, a position that he had been passed over for numerous times despite his lengthy resume. He has been a defensive assistant in college, the USFL and the NFL since breaking in as a defensive line coach at Rutgers in 1973.

Last Wednesday, Cottrell's club suffered a 41-10 defeat at the hands of the Las Vegas Locomotives. It was the second home game for the Sentinels, who hosted the Locos at Hofstra's James M. Shuart Stadium, where the game was moved after it was originally scheduled for Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets.

On Wednesday night, the Las Vegas Locomotives trounced the New York Sentinels, 41-10, to remain in contention for a berth in the UFL Championship Game on Nov. 27.

While the game wasn't all that compelling -- nor was it, shall we say, must-see TV -- it was an important night for many on the field. The UFL concludes its season just in time for players to join NFL clubs for their stretch runs.

Charles Davis, a tight end for the Sentinels, views his UFL opportunity differently, remarking as if he searched for the gig on craigslist.

"I didn't have a job and I love playing football, so that was probably the draw for me," said Davis, who is pictured right as a fifth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006.

Fair enough. The league, though, hopes for a much higher profile despite everything stacked against it.

UFLJim Fassel, coach of the Las Vegas Locomotives, is confident that the UFL will endure after its inaugural season.

"There is room without a doubt for another professional football league," Fassel said in a conference call Monday. "There is no more NFL Europe or Arena League."

He was exceedingly optimistic about the four-team league, which has debuted to relative anonymity during one of the busiest times in the sporting calendar. Fassel, though, believes that the UFL is on the right track.

Randy EdsallSTORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut coach Randy Edsall is good at many things -- such as refining football skills, leading a group of young men and supporting them through the tragedy of Jasper Howard's murder.

He has had little time to make sure his pop culture references were up to date.

"I am Sergeant Schultz, I know nothing," Edsall said earlier this week, when pressed about details surrounding the murder investigation. Just minutes later, in a separate media conference, the arrests of three men were announced.

Ironically, Edsall, especially in recent days, is very little like Schultz, whose character on "Hogan's Heroes" -- a TV show that ran from 1965-71 -- was a bumbling, borderline incompetent mess (Trust me, I looked it up).

Edsall recited Schultz's famous slogan, but that's where the similarities end.

UFLEAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey -- The UFL plans to add two more teams and four games to each club's schedule next season, according to Rick Mueller, general manager for all four of the league's teams.

Mueller, speaking exclusively to FanHouse on Thursday, said that "it looks good" for expansion in 2010. He said that there is enough talent for the league to field six teams, start the campaign in September and play a 10-game season.

Los Angeles, a city currently without an NFL team, has been rumored as a frontrunner. Mueller did not say for sure whether a deal was in place to bring professional football back to L.A. and would not mention any other locations specifically.

UFL LogoEAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey -- When the UFL debuted earlier this month, commissioner Michael Huyghue told FanHouse the league and its executives would do it their way.

The league proved stubborn Thursday, when the New York Sentinels played their first home game of the season under the worst of circumstances -- at least, from an exposure standpoint.

Despite its first appearance in New York City's metropolitan area, the country's undisputed media hub, the UFL may as well have played in Fargo, considering the magnitude of Game 2 of the World Series, which was being played just a few miles away at Yankee Stadium.

On the field, it wasn't much better for the Sentinels, who lost their third straight game to start the season, a 20-13 setback at the hands of the California Redwoods.

It may have been news to many in the tri-state area who were tuned in to watch Pedro Martinez's return to the Bronx with the Philadelphia Phillies.

The UFL will debut in New York City's metropolitan area Thursday, though it's unclear who will notice.

The New York Sentinels (0-2) are set to play their first home game this season, when they host the California Redwoods (1-2) at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey (7 PM ET). The contest will be played while the New York Yankees take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 2 of the World Series just a few miles away at Yankee Stadium (7:57 p.m. ET).

The UFL has had problems drawing fans on normal nights, without the stiff competition of a highly-anticipated World Series, pitting the defending champions (Phillies) against one of the country's most popular teams (Yankees).

STORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut police have charged a man with the murder of UConn football player Jasper Howard. John William Lomax III, 21, was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit assault.

"There is no system of justice that can bring back someone who has been taken from us," UConn Commissioner of Public Safety John A. Danaher III said Tuesday. "But we can do all in our power to investigate, arrest and assist in prosecuting those who commit a crime such as this, and we did so in this case."

Bond was set at $2 million for Lomax of Bloomfield, Conn., which is about 30 miles from UConn's campus.

The Florida Tuskers continued their dominance of the UFL. Despite the easy nature of their wins, coach Jim Haslett is confident his team has remained motivated.

Brooks Bollinger threw two touchdown passes and back-up Chris Greisen tossed one more as Haslett's Tuskers thoroughly dispatched the California Redwoods, 34-7, at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida on Thursday night.

"They know this is their last stop and that, if they want to get back to the NFL, they need to play at a high level, and have fun doing it," Haslett said. "And they understand that, so I don't need to harp on them."

The coach certainly had nothing to get on them about last night in the lone contest in Week 3 of the UFL's inaugural season.

Marcus Maxwell, Jayson Foster and Andrew Pinnock each had a TD grab, while Taye Biddle had five catches for 133 yards for Florida, which has won its first three games to start the season -- all in convincing fashion.

Ike HilliardOn Sunday night, October 19, 2008, Ike Hilliard fell awkwardly to the turf at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.

Seattle Seahawks linebackers Lofa Tatupu and Leroy Hill had sandwiched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' slim wide receiver near his head, as if trying to make him disappear into the thin fall air.

Still, Hilliard, a man with a history of neck injuries, was the luckiest man in the stadium.

You see, the 12-year NFL veteran wasn't supposed to be on the field that day. Hilliard's career, in fact, wasn't to last past its rookie season.

"I had a neck fusion year one of my NFL career, and [the doctors] weren't encouraged that I'd be able to play," said the 33-year-old Hilliard, who now is the wide receivers coach for the UFL's Florida Tuskers.

"Then, I played 11 more seasons."

The UFL has changed venues for two of its remaining games, the league announced Thursday. Presumably, the move is due to the four-team outfit's sparse attendance thus far.

The New York Sentinels' home game vs. the Las Vegas Locomotives on Nov. 4 was moved from Citi Field to Hofstra's James M. Shuart Stadium. In addition, on Nov. 14 the California Redwoods will host the Locos at San Jose State University's Spartan Stadium instead of AT&T Park, as previously scheduled.

Brooks BollingerFans of the New York Jets don't need any more angst, especially after the abysmal performance by rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez on Sunday.

So, Jets fans, stop reading now because Brooks Bollinger, a former starter for Gang Green in 2005, has been a standout signal caller in the UFL.

Check Bollinger's numbers in two season-opening wins for the Florida Tuskers: 44-of-58, 535 yards, 7 TDs and 1 INT. Thanks in part to Bollinger, the Tuskers have scored 64 points and amassed 792 yards of total offense in those contests.

OK, masters of the obvious, success in the UFL doesn't equate to similar prowess in the NFL. It's the irony, however, that strikes us, as well as the opportunity for a social experiment.

Will New York fans second-guess anything, even if they are, in effect, second-guessing themselves?

The home debut for the California Redwoods came in front of a small gathering. Their coach, however, was excited for those that were in attendance.

Cory Ross ran for 121 yards and a touchdown as Dennis Green's Redwoods secured the first win in franchise history, a 24-7 triumph over the New York Sentinels in Saturday's final game of Week 2 in the UFL.

"It's great to play at home and get a win," Green said of the game played at AT&T Park in front of a crowd of 6,341, the smallest number through four games. "It's off to a good start for us. We played much better defense, similar to how we started defensively last week.

"Pretty good feeling of urgency on defense. Offensively, we sputtered a lot. Sometimes, we looked OK, sometimes not so good. But we did take advantage of some points there."
