    Austin FC could do a better job proactively reaching out to people that bought season tickets with some updates on what the fuck we are gonna be looking at. I realize that there is some uncertainty still with the schedule but checking my email, they seem to have plenty of time to send out merch emails but nothing related to tickets. 

    They don’t know what’s going to happen. What should they tell you? Seems like the Gov may have cleared things up this afternoon.

  2. Designated player #2 on the books. Claudio also said on the press conference this morning that they are going to wait to see where the on field gaps are and signed the third DP this summer.

    Also, shameless plug for the podcast. Interviewed Jordan Enke this week about the stadium and learned some new things about the plans for ride share dropoff, bike parking and confirmation that the stadium is going to have 100% cashless payment.

  3. Zilker Park is technically Austin's biggest backyard right? Still, cool to see a local company on the building. And not one with an annoying name or logo.

    When did they change their logo to look so fucking stupid?

    That was also this offseason. It's pretty shitty.

     

    Precourt's tweet says the signing knows their way around Austin. Would love if it was Khiry Shelton.

  5. Matt Doyle saying that Mayaka was the surest thing as a #1 overall in years and him not being the pick was the best part of the draft.

     

    Expect a domestic signing tomorrow. Wolff talked about it on the post draft press conference and Precourt tweeted green smoke. Wolff also talked about a couple more international signings, including one on the back line.

    That tire joint has been there for as long as I've been in Austin, gotta give 'em credit.  

    Two-part question---when does the MLS schedule come out in a non-Covid year?  And when do y'all think this delayed season schedule will come out?  

    December. And, who knows with the CBA also in the balance.

    We interviewed a college soccer expert for the podcast that came out today. Mayaka is very likely as the pick.

  7. Rode from Hopsquad to downtown and back today. Took a couple pics from McKalla Place by the graphics joint. Haven’t been this way in a very long time.

  8. Picked up our 3rd GK today, Stuver from NYCFC and previously Columbus. So he should be very familiar with Claudio & Josh. Assume all these familiar names are intentional to jump start chemistry among an expansion team being built during a pandemic. 
     

    His wife also asks the important questions on Twitter.

    Wait, what?!?

    Houston took him in the re-entry draft. Since we hadn’t signed a contract with him, they have his rights. I’m fine with losing him because I’m convinced he kinda sucks after watching a lot of video but it was a waste of an expansion draft pick.

    "Well, at least I did the right things and took the high road", says giant gaping pussy recently defeated by a former amateur porn star who posted her tits on a message board for attention, posted texts supposedly between her and Lance Armstrong showing her to be a desperate pathetic gutter rat, doesn't even have custody of her own daughter, is currently the defendant in a theft of IP lawsuit, fucked Romeo Rose, and literally has an entirely fake resume.

    But hey at least he can sleep well tonight knowing he did the right thing and didn't expose any of that to his constituency. Because a history of instability, immorality, and illegality is definitely something that should be hidden from voters for whom someone is trying to represent.

    Good job, dumb fuck.

    There were plenty of people talking about it. Shame on everyone outside the media other than Austin Sanders that passed on the information spoon fed to them.

    FAs are eligible for selection but Austin would have to negotiate a new deal with them just like any other team.  He's out of contract.  Austin would be permitted to offer him more money than Minnesota.  That is the only advantage which is why no one uses expansion picks on free agents.    

    Right.
