			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have a professional football team.  You want to strike fear into the hearts of your opponents.  You want to be able to build brand recognition and fan loyalty.  You are in Northern California.  You are going to play in Candlestick (I&#8217;m an old timer.  Sue me), I mean AT&amp;T Park.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some of the other sports clubs in your area have the following names:  Warriors, 49ers, Raiders, Kings, Athletics, Giants, and Sharks.  What do you do?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Based on fan support and input, the UFL (United Football League &#8211; <a href="http://www.ufl-football.com">http://www.ufl-football.com</a>) went with what was arguably one of the WEAKEST names for a professional sports organization.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They were christened the San Francisco Rockfish.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But wait, as the late Billy Mays once said, there&#8217;s more&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The UFL just rechristened the team as the <em><strong>Calfornia Redwoods</strong></em>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;m thinking that naming your sports club after an animal is better than naming it after a plant.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So with the premiere season of the fledging UFL less than two months away, I present this site to you, the to be and would be fans of the California Redwoods.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am in the process of adding more features.  Your input and patience will help.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
