So, I have to be honest with you fine folks. I was doing fun Labor Day Weekend things and didn’t really pay close attention to Austin FC’s game at Nashville. But scrolling Twitter the next day, it seems that the Verde fan-base is in this mode: To which I would like to say, once again,…
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…
What are we supposed to do? We look statistically at matchups, performances, et cetera, et cetera, and we get sad trombone music. We decide to just vibe and we get burned. Excepting Turd, the compound is filled with optimists. He’s a bit of a “Why even have a glass? It’s just gonna get broken or…
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here. This past Wednesday, we had a first for Austin FC: a home match suffered a weather delay.

Wow. We were wrong. Gloriously wrong. I’m ecstatic that we were wrong. In our defense, I’d like to ask anyone to point us to a reputable bookie who got the prediction correct. The only logical conclusion: despite the odds, our boys in verde will not be stopped. Honestly, I was wondering how we were so…
You know what I think I enjoyed almost as much as beating the shit out of LAFC last Friday night? Having the entire rest of the weekend to kick back and watch everyone else duke it out while I basically did this: Good times. But we must move on quickly as there is a full…
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…
If you are unfamiliar with the concept of The False 9’s La Murga Report, click here.

Burdened by knowing what the (Incredibly Incorrect) Chickens predicted I was…
