"'Bolts Bruising Back Bulls Over Opposition" - February 19th, 2001, Birmingham Post-Herald

The XFL has some kind of announcement planned for tomorrow so their short-lived stay in Birmingham in 2001 is on my mind tonight.

While the announcement doesn't appear to be much more than a rebranding I cling to the possibility, however remote, that we'll be given hope that one day the Thunderbolts might return. I get that it's unlikely that a city could host two spring football teams, of course, but the notion of the two fighting it out for attention appeals to me.

For now, well be content with revisiting the Thunderbolts' second, and final, victory of their only season. The Post-Herald had a feature on James Bostic specifically so I include that below while the game summary is displayed on the team's page above.
