Well tomorrow is our first road match of the season against Violette in Santiago in the Dominican Republic. Due to CONCACAF’s lack of organization, they didn’t even confirm they would sell tickets to us until a week before the match, so there sadly won’t be a large verde contingent on the island. So today, I…

Odds and Ends from the MLS Schedule Release
It may have taken a few days longer than expected, but we finally have an MLS schedule. As you can imagine, schedule release day is one of the compound’s favorite days of the year. We were somewhat ok with the delay as our compound was split between boycotting the World Cup (that crew is off…
CONCACAF Dreaming
Well, our season is over, and I think I am somehow the first one to get a post up on here after Sunday’s pathetic result in LA. What was not pathetic was our incredible road support. We managed to sell 284 tickets in the away section in 2 minutes. We had a rocking night before…
What matters on Decision Day?
Well, our guys in Verde like Georgia turf better than Cascadia turf. It’s honestly amazing that we got a 0-0 draw in Seattle last season since we have not won any points in our last 5 trips to the Pacific Northwest. Thankfully, there will be no playoff games on artificial surfaces this season. Speaking of…
Magic Number/Playoff Update Heading into the Final Run
I first off want to apologize to our loyal readers. Since I was not proficient in CONCACAF Champions League rules (because it’s CONCACAF), I did not realize that Montreal (or Toronto/Vancouver) are not able to use MLS spots to qualify for the CONCACAF Champions League. As a result, the 3rd place race with Montreal only…
Magic Number Update 9-(9/15)
Wow! Honestly, I had expected to clinch a playoff spot earlier, but I’ll more than gladly take a Djitte substitute hat trick to get us over the top! It felt like all of Central Texas exhaled all at once as Djitte took over this match. With last night’s win, Austin eliminated Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake,…
Magic Number Update from over the Rockies 8-(9/11)
Well despite being our compound’s resident traveler, I should have known better than to fly out to Seattle to assume that we could get a result in Cascadia. Hopefully, we can get a win in Vancouver in a few weeks because I would really like to get the road win in Cascadia monkey off our…
Magic Number Update 7-(9/5)
Well once again, our boys in Verde did not get the job done and failed to clinch a playoff berth by losing 3-0 in Nashville. Coming off a late loss against Portland on Wednesday, my expectations were not high for this match, and we met them with a sloppy loss, as we were clearly exhausted…
Magic Number Update 6-(9/1)
Normally, I prewrite this column before the matchday with a few blanks since I have a rough idea of what I am going to cover. With the potential of clinching a playoff berth last night, I decided to just let everything flow out after returning from McKalla, and I sure didn’t expect to stay up…
Magic Number Update 5 (8/29)
Since, some of you have started following this series after the first post, there were multiple requests to explain what a magic number is, so I’ll kick into that before gushing about our 4-1 thrashing of LAFC. The magic number is the number of points we need to gain to be one point higher than…
