Posted on August 18, 2023August 18, 2023 by Uncle Tony P.

You know how bears hibernate for the winter?  It feels like Austin FC decided to do that but, in the summer, given the extreme heat.  And honestly, I can’t blame the guys.  It’s fuckin’ hot. But also, A LOT has happened.  Diego is gone.  Memo is in.  CJ Fodrey looks to have joined the first…

MLS Cheering Guide – Week Whatever

Posted on June 30, 2023June 30, 2023 by Uncle Tony P.

Yes, this weekly MLS preview still exists.  Much like our team’s offense for the better part of 6 months, I’ve been on a self-imposed sabbatical.  But we’re both back baby!!! Austin FC finally found some rhythm last week, scoring six goals and picking up two massive Copa Tejas wins.  The attack looked more fluid and…

Numbers Don’t Lie: #WolffIn or #WolffOut

Posted on June 5, 2023June 5, 2023 by Uncle Tony P.

We’re one game away from being halfway through the 2023 MLS season and things are, to be blunt, not going that well for Austin FC.  The team sits 8th place in the Western Conference standings, was bounced out of the U.S. Open Cup at home, and maybe most embarrassingly, took an early exit in the…

Rejoice!  Austin FC has won an MLS match for the first time in two months, and it came in Seattle of all places! Before Wednesday night, Austin had never scored a goal at Lumen Field.  But then Ethan Finlay put in arguably his best shift in a Verde uniform, Gyasi Zardes finally put one home,…

May 10, 2023.  What a glorious day for Austin, and therefore the world! Not only did Austin FC win for the first time in almost two months, but RODNEY FREAKING REDES SCORED!  Q2 Stadium may have only been about 80% full for the US Open Cup match against New Mexico United on Wednesday, but at…
