Welp, gentle reader, El FC won their last match. As in the previous match, my reading of The Colonel was mixed: correct number of goals, but wrong distribution. I’m not worried, though. Although my time back here at the compound is limited, I’m confident that we will become more united in spirit, thought, and voice….
It’s Friday afternoon. You know what that means! That’s right, it’s time for your weekly dose of MLS schadenfreude. But first, let’s check in our own Austin FC. The boys picked up a surprising 1-0 win in Minnesota last week without the services of Driussi, Pereira, Cascante, and Valencia, putting the squad back into 8th…
Gentle reader, I am still riding high on the endorphin rush brought about by my return home. The only thing that is keeping me grounded is the deep emptiness within my soul. Losing one’s chickens does that to your natural rhythms. Although I got the number of goals correct, I slightly missed on the distribution…
Uncle Tony P. is back with a proper MLS Cheering Guide as we get deeper into the season. And we catch up on all things Austin FC.

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…
We’re back with a holiday weekend MLS preview. Austin FC had a great week on and off the field, plus the rest of the league is wild.
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.
