A lot can be said about Rodney Redes. He was the first signing in Austin FC history. He has a fascinating Wikipedia page. He has the support of his manager and seems to be a welcome presence in the locker room. But what cannot be said is that he has proven himself to be an…
This past weekend was a 2-day long Wrestlemania event in “Dallas”. The spandex, the moves, the questionably large bulges, the athleticism, the oiliness. I found myself inspired and pondering what it would look like if each Austin FC player had a unique in-ring name, finishing move, weakness and entrance music. Here’s a few of my…
We’re back from the international break and it’s time to hit the road again as the Verde & Black take on the 13th place team in the West: The San Jose Earthquakes. But don’t let their spot in the standings fool you. After last September’s shenanigans at Q2 Stadium, this one means a little more….
