A Humble Proposal in Favor of Josh Wolff

Posted on September 27, 2023September 27, 2023 by Charles Peacock

My esteemed colleague Uncle Tony P. yesterday presented a treatise on why Josh Wolff, the only head coach Austin FC has ever known, should lose his job. I understand this sentiment, Josh Wolff has become a divisive figure amongst the fan base, who have ultimately split into a few camps, including #Wolffout, #WolffIn, #Wolffisntthebiggestissue, to…

Chicken Prediction: Ennui

Posted on September 24, 2023September 24, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, may I suggest Taylor was talking about us? Have I reached acceptance yet? Not sure, but I and my hens (who, by the by, correctly picked a draw) felt nothing after another craptastic performance. And to top it all off, it seems that our talismanic mass of beauty and talent will probably miss…

Hello readers, I am filling in for this mid week match Chicken Prediction/Preview. Louis is still recovering from his “Watch Party” on Sunday night where something shocking happened… The Chickens turned on him. It was all a misunderstanding.

Chicken Prediction: Delusion

Posted on September 17, 2023September 17, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, I believe Cicero wrote it best: “O tempora! O mores!” O, the times! O, the customs! Our beloved El FC has been, to be charitable, not reaching its potential. When passers-by see me and my hens as we stroll along one of our fair city’s avenues, I am often asked how I feel…

Chicken Prediction: Revolution Ahoy!

Posted on September 2, 2023September 2, 2023 by Louis de Ludovico

Gentle reader, Wednesday was a game. It was a game to remember. It was a game to forget. It was Dickensian to its core: good guys, bad guys, evil goings on, everything. It’s nothing to be proud of, but my hens nailed the score. Our dear friend, Phil West, was, concurrently, right and wrong. He…

MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 27

Posted on September 1, 2023September 1, 2023 by Uncle Tony P.

Remember how I said the Frisco match last week was “To the pain” a la Princess Bride?  Apparently, we didn’t go far enough in our consideration of pain after experiencing another heartbreaking defeat Wednesday against Seattle. Austin scored 2 goals and should have had at least a draw.  I don’t give a shit what MLS…
