So my boy got invited to assessments for the Austin FC Academy.  Three rounds of attrition with each assessment and then a scrimmage if I understand correctly.  Pretty stoked for him.  Managing his ex

That. Was fucking. NUTS. Wildly frustrated that we couldn’t put more than one in with a man advantage, but my frustration didn’t appear to help them. My wife had a conflict, so I took one of my olde

Precourt Sports Ventures and @MLS still have an obligation under Ohio law to provide notice and a reasonable opportunity for local investors to purchase the rights to keep the Crew in Columbus. Our lawsuit will continue.

I suspect that even IF that hurdle is cleared at some point, there are still plenty of ways this whole thing can go sideways and not happen... and I know I'm not alone in that.

So yeah, whatevs, Ohio can do their thing... still plenty of ways for this thing to tank.

From what I've read from garber, there's wiggle room for austin to get an expansion. If crew stay in ohio, i think Austin gets the last expansion slot.

And I'm all in on Waterloo FC, but its too rad to happen.

This would get a jump on reverting back to the city's original name.

Miami's team will be such a dud if it ever even happens.

why?  they will end up at house park for the first 2 years with massive demand and then there will be a hipster moment where supporting the club will be gauche when they move to the domain.  it will be glorious.

do you think they can rival the rampant support the aztex generated at house park?

Surely they won't be able to top the paltry RR Express attendance of over 8,000 fans per night.  No way this town supports any pro sports.  Never happened, never will.

Good thing the opportunity came when it did. MLS would be dead if Laura Morrison was mayor. She’s going to use this deal in her campaign. She was Leslie Pool’s role model on council and talked about that bond a lot during her opening remarks in 2014
