Austin FC players as Animorphs
Chicken Prediction: Dallas
Gentle reader, when is a not win a win? When the win wins over the fans like a wind through a window. Yes, my hens foresaw a victory, which, by the score, wasn’t correct, but, by the feeling afterwards, was. Phil West was just wrong: The architecture can be marvelous. I.M. Pei’s city hall is…
MLS Cheering Guide – Week 12
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…
A Letter from the Front (of Q2)
Dearest Gertrude, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I write to you today to regale you with the tale of a wondrous event that took place at Q2 stadium yesterday – a seminal moment in Austin FC history. The day was cloudy and overcast, the sun trying to peak…
The US Open Cup-Why should you care?
Well this season hasn’t gotten off to the best start to say the least. We crashed out of CCL in a borderline unexplainable way, we are below the 9 out of 14 team playoff line in the Western conference (at least we still have time to recover on that front), and the injury bug has…
Chicken Prediction: Etruscan Style
Gentle reader, El FC did not, in fact, win. My beloved hens and I were fighting the over-emotionality of others and predicted a win. Our optimism was wrong. We apologize for missing the score, but not the sentiment. If there is any positive to take from this match, it’s that Phil also missed his prediction….
MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 11
Goals! Austin FC scored goals in a real, live match last week! Sure, it was another home draw ya Debby Downer, but the scoreless drought is over! You know what? Hey, things could be worse. We could be Sporting Kansas City. Speaking of SKC…. MLS Sickos Game of the WeekSeattle Sounders vs Sporting Kansas City…
Chicken Prediction: Emo Days
Gentle reader, the results of our El FC have been less than stellar. Our last match was not good. My beloved hens did pick the score exactly. Phil West? He came close. In the immortal words of Archimedes, I shouted “Eureka!” The poor results have turned my hens into emo hens. They’ve internalized the pain…
Chicken Prediction: Rolling Up to the 90746
Never, gentle reader, did I think this season would unfold the way it has so far. Our last game was a bit of a dud. Yes, my hens predicted a loss. In their defense, if you actually watched the game, it felt like a loss. Going into detail, trying to figure out all that is…
MLS Cheering Guide – Match Day 9
Welp, its only a few weeks until the MLS season is 1/3rd of the way complete, which means we are almost at the time for Austin FC fans to do this: And they would be right to do so. I’m not going to freak out…..yet. I’ll work up an entire standings look soon in a…
