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…
Welcome to Rivalry Week that lasts 9 days in MLS because, well, MLS. Timbers vs Sounders! El Tráfico! Houston vs Hygiene! Rivalries like these belong in the pantheon with Bob Barker vs Happy Gilmore. There’s a ton of good action this weekend, but you know why I’m here. Austin FC enters its 19th match of…
The weekly report on La Murga de Austin’s setlist and an analysis of which songs correspond to goals scored or conceded by Austin FC.
Happy Independence Day everyone! A day where Austin FC fans will celebrate our nation breaking away from England by watching the Verde & Black play a sport invented by the English, all while calling it soccer just to piss them off.

It’s been a while since we’ve done a proper match day Know Your Foe. This is a crucial stretch for Austin FC where 4-of-5 are on the road, but if the Verde & Black can hang on, the schedule sets up nicely to make a late season run. Tonight, Austin FC begins that stretch with…
Listen, gentle reader. I messed up last match’s prediction. I knew it all along. It’s so predictable. I knew something like my prediction would go wrong (something’s always wrong). So you don’t have to call or say anything at all. It’s so predictable (so predictable). I mean, everyone’s been calling. Like I’ve been gone for…
In the immortal words of Evil Mopac’s favorite band Bon Jovi, “Whoooaaaa, we’re halfway there!” Or at least we will be after mid-week madness.
