We have arrived. A regular season that kicked off almost eight months ago comes to an end this Sunday, better known around MLS as Decision Day. If you are unfamiliar with the concept, all teams in the league will play on Sunday. Every Eastern Conference game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. and every Western…
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…
Thursday morning, my lovely hens woke me up. They were all aflutter. I didn’t know why. Honestly, I wish they hadn’t. You see, I was in the middle of a dream. I was kissing Valentino by a crystal-blue, Italian stream. Regardless, I was now mostly awake and did my best to give my hens the…
Welcome back class. How was your time away? Did you get to do some traveling? Maybe a little relaxing? I hope so, because HOLY CRAP THE PLAYOFFS ARE JUST TWO WEEKS AWAY! If you need a refresher, here’s where things stand in the West. Austin FC can wrap up the 2nd seed with a point…

Holy smokes, were we wrong. The boys in verde had an exemplary second half, leading the team to glory. With hindsight being 20/20, I should’ve known better. You see, gentle reader, that, after consuming their prognosticating snack, a trail that can only be described as a molten brown crayon running amok on the ground made…
It’s been a grueling 3 ½ months, but this weekend marks the last set of games before MLS finally takes a break for international play. Austin FC enters the festivities needing nothing more than a draw at home against Nashville to guarantee at least one playoff match at Q2 Stadium. But that doesn’t mean we…
