In this 9th episode (3rd Rivalry Ruckus) former Penn State and NFL quarterback Matt McGloin caught the attention of those watching the first game on Saturday during the second weekend of the XFL by giving out and pointing fingers. His outbursts went viral but gave XFLers and maybe more importantly fans more access than they could ever see coming.

Well, it has since been said that he needed to look in the mirror.  This episode takes that lesson as MJ Cropper ''The Swamp Dane'' reviews some of his previous prognostications on the early season and goes through the arguments and looks to see if they still hold or not.

Quarterbacks are coming back and some are now injured for week 2, it is the XFL quarterback injury carousel.

All in all, the XFL is fun and exciting and ESPN does a great job of adding to the promotion and presenatation of the league.  The league looks strong for week 2!

On this episode 7 and 3 of the Rivalry Ruckus, the Daneman covers and reflects on the emphatically successful first weekend of the Houston Roughnecks and the opening game in Arlington's Global Life Field.

The Houston Roughnecks opened the first day of the XFL inaugural season at 4pm inTDECU Stadium on the Univeristy of Houston campus against the Los Angeles Wildcats and prevailing to a 37-17 victory igniting a Houston fanbase and a job-loss for the defensive coordinator Pepper Johnson of the Wildcats.  Temple's Pj Walker and Hawkeye James Butler shined on offense for the Roughnecks.  Sam Mobley and Cam Phillips gave the Roughneck quarterback scoring targets on the day.

In Arlington, in newly renovated Global Life Park, the Renegades were not as successful on offense in Hal Mumme's Air Raid offense. The Daneman takes this perfomance and insinuates that the running offenses in the league will sustain success and wonders if Bob Stoops will make appropriate adjustments on the field before getting and #RaisingHell from the fanbase.
