Welcome to May, also known as the biggest month in Austin FC’s short MLS history. For some in the national media, it’s “prove it” time for the Verde & Black after getting off to a rocket fast start.

What a week! I can feel the blood pulsating through me, granting me life with every throb. In fact, all four of my humors are perfectly in balance. Nothing phlegmatic or choleric over here. Fresh from our trip to the somewhat beautiful Foxwoods, my precious hens and I are living in perfect harmony. The chickens…
April had everything. I feel like a Stefon sketch from Saturday Night Live when I talk about all of the wild shit that happened. But it’s time to turn the calendar as Austin FC finds itself firmly in 2nd place in both the West and the Supporter’s Shield race. First things are always first, which…
