SHOWBOATS
TRIVIA |
| -- |
| The
Showboats territorial schools for 1984 were
Memphis State, Middle Tennessee State,
Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Tennessee State. |
| -- |
| The
Showboats acquired the rights to DE Reggie White
by means of the territorial draft based on his
playing college ball at the University of
Tennessee. |
| -- |
| Seen
as a top NFL prospect, White's signing by the
'Boats sent a message to the USFL's other teams
that Memphis would be competitive - and a
message to the NFL that no player, on offense or
defense, couldn't be signed by a USFL team. |
