Summer has begun here in Austin TX with temperatures already rising to where we get multiple heat advisory texts from the city in a week. There is only one solution to beat the heat: Don’t go outside. But Charles, what about the chickens? Don’t they live outside? Have you forsaken them? First, that’s insulting, and…
This week Austin FC said good-bye to Emiliano Rigoni, first putting him on waivers and then buying out the remainder of his contract. The Argentinian attacker has unfortunately not lived up to the title of Designated Player for this team outside of a brilliant match winner against the Houston Dynamo on April 20. Thanks to…
Here at the Compound it’s been a week, the storms have done a number on the grounds, and we’ve been busy with preparations for a new endeavor: Chicken Racing.
