We knew it. My beloved hens foretold a draw vs. Atlanta but included a caveat that, should our missing defenders make it onto the pitch, all bets are off. They came in and they spanked those several striped players. Lest you think, gentle reader, that this column is just some silly pasquinade, you should rest…
Just like Willie, we’re on the road again this week as Austin FC finishes off a three games in nine days away stretch. ATXFC will look to make it a perfect 3-for-3 in front of over 70,000 fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as they take on Atlanta United FC for the very first time tonight.
My beloved hens and I are slowly coming down from the amazing comeback vs. Colorado a few days ago. I should amend that statement to say: amazing to some, but not us. Lest you forget, gentle reader, the chickens saw it coming and told you so. I fear too many of you don’t recognize their…

Good Afternoon, eastern conference leaders! Instead of my normal more focused article, I am going to let my mind drift this afternoon as I fly across our beautiful country from Charlotte to Denver before Denverde 3.0 on the 4th of July. It’s really too bad that we don’t play in the bonus conference since I…
Hey, last night was fun! And you know what, so was Wednesday! Austin FC got every possible result that it could have desired this week and now stands alone in 2nd place halfway through the season. But now the games are coming fast and furious, as there is a full slate of matches to ponder. …
