Regular Season
TDFL was designed to encourage boys and girls from Gallup, NM, and surrounding areas, to engage in the game of football, both in flag and tackle.
NFL, Dallas Cowboy Hall of Famer Tony Dorsett brought his group of Dallus Cowboy alums to Gallup to raise money to get the league started.
With front men, former Cowboy greats Ron Springs and Everson Walls raised seed money to jump start the league, buying uniforms, helmets, shoulder pads, field equipment, and all of the necessities of a start-up program. As a result, the league purchased the best equipment money could buy, and after all bills were paid, had funds to sustain the league for the first three years.
