BANDITS TRIVIA
--
Fred Nordgren would record 15 sacks in the 1983 season, but fell an incredible 11 short of leading the league as John Corker of the Michigan Panthers recorded a pro football record 26 that season.
--
Over its three year history, 115 different players were on the Bandits 40-man active roster or the team's 10-man developmental roster.
--
When the Boston Breakers moved to New Orleans, USFL owners briefly discussed moving the Bandits to the Atlantic Division, joining the expansion Jacksonville Bulls and Pittsburgh Maulers, the Philadelphia Stars, New Jersey Generals and Washington Federals.
--
Instead of having three six-team divisions in 1984, the league opted to create a Southern Division consisting of the Bandits, the Birmingham Stallions, New Orleans Breakers, and two expansion teams:  the Jacksonville Bulls and the Memphis Showboats. 
--
The Bandits and Birmingham Stallions finished with identical 14-4-0 records in 1984.  The Stallions won the Southern Division title by virtue of the league's tiebreaking procedure.
--
The Bandits never won a USFL playoff game.
--
Bandit quarterback John Reaves was released from the team after its 1985 season in a contract dispute.
--
Reaves was placed on waivers, where he was immediately picked up by the Orlando Renegades.
--
Reaves would never play for the 'Gades.  After the USFL folded he tried to crack an NFL roster one last time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
--
Reaves retired from football after a short stint with the Bucs.  Today, he's a real estate broker in the Tampa area.
