The sun was still high and mocking when the Honey Badgers rolled up for a rare 3:30 kickoff — desperate for redemption after three straight defeats, but with the odds stacked so deep they needed a Sherpa to carry the load. The checklist of missing essentials was almost comical: no tent, no keeper, no keeper…
With the freshly updated trophy gleaming on the sideline like some cursed relic of a rival dynasty, Cameron Road United gathered at the Badger Den for the biannual showdown against their sworn enemies, The Punters. Six subs were ready, the touchline was lined with friends, family, and assorted hype personnel, and honorary manager Ryan Willis…
The early morning dew at Onion Creek was thick enough to drown a lesser team, but the Honey Badgers are not lesser men. They are creatures forged in the damp, caffeine-fueled mists of weekend soccer. Jefe reclaimed his rightful post as caretaker of the Badger Den, Jeff Z’s mom graced the sidelines (ever the oracle…
A 4:00pm kickoff on the alleged cusp of Fall in Austin — a season which, in theory, brings crisp breezes and pumpkin spice, but in practice still bathes you in 95-degree hellfire while pollen grenades explode in your sinuses. Perfect soccer weather, in other words. And what better way to celebrate it than showing up…
The Honey Badgers didn’t just win on Sunday afternoon — they staged a six-goal demolition job that left Austin Athletic Club sprawled in the dust. A 6–0 masterpiece baked in the Texas heat. The opening chapter was written in sugar. Chappy rolled up with apple fritters, Derek with cookies, and Parks delivered a glorious slab…
The Winds of NEMP A sea shanty by Adam Greenspan. Performed by Pete. Feast yer eyes on that thar moon, upon its pitch you’ll be playing soon.The Winds of NEMP will spell your doom, har har! It billows nets like sails at sea, rips holes in them so goals fly free,The Winds of NEMP, hey…
On Sunday, Cameron Road United assembled once again upon the scorched plains of NEMP — that vast, wind-blasted wasteland where soccer dreams go to dehydrate. Though the infamous NEMP gales were mercifully subdued, the mercury soared toward triple digits, and the pitch stretched outward like a cruel mirage, ballooning larger with every weary stride. The…
The weather was gorgeous for the opening match of the 2025/2026 season. 70-something degrees and rainy. Beats the hell out of 100 degrees and 100% humidity. With only one sub available and 90% of the defense missing in action, it was time to get creative with the back line. Led by Chris G, Brian Parks…
Badgers and Punters and Chopped Liverpools playing together? What’s next, world peace? Great game today as Over 40A beat Over 50P 6-3. Gianluca almost got a hat trick, but he will have to settle for 2 goals in the big win. Good representation from Adam, Danimal, Gianluca and “coach” Jefe.
Derek’s nuts survive! It was the cream on the Pudding! Everything Good. Give the boy a chance! Good season. Good times.
Out of town, but not forgotten…. Andy unleashes a bucket of lukewarm water on Ciro’s nemesis…. you can’t say Chappy didn’t have it coming.
The grand finale to the 2025 Summer Season was a proper summer game. The heat was intense, but thanks to Jake the Honey Badgers were blanketed in a cool spray of mist in the newly upgraded Badger Den. Congrats to Matt, who was given a leave of absence to get married by CRU Management. He…
With Chappy receiving high altitude bunion therapy in the mountains of Santa Fe, Jefe was in charge of recalling the mental souvenirs from the game against CC United: So the game started out and they had a couple young planers and I got burned on the corner and they passed it in for the first…

One again, Cameron Road faced off against a team full kids half Billy’s age. They also happened to be in first place and were used to scoring goals for fun. But CRU saved one of their best performances for just the occasion as they went toe-to-toe with Real Sociadad for most of the match. It…
Jake’s mist machine fail was America’s win as Ciro took a 5 gallon shower. Don’t forget to like and subscribe.
Facing the prospect of playing an entire team whose combined age would still be less than Billy’s, Cameron Road put out the word that Sunday was mustache day. Many showed up heading the call, but proper facial hair was well under the 100% compliance needed for total and utter pre-game dominance. Andy was back, fresh…
The actual game was just a tiny portion of the soccer sandwich from Sunday as it took place between the debut of the new tent and the epic post game festivities. The tent is a glorious masterpiece. Some say it can be seen from space. It certainly is a beacon of average 40-year old soccer…
7:55 Sunday morning…. 5 Badgers, no tent, no ball. 9:45 Sunday morning…. 13 Badgers, multiple balls, a green tent, popsicles, beer, and a glorious victory! Once the game started and Badgers were seen jogging down to the pitch, a full squad was assembled. Conor arrived just in time to set up the tent and be…
Ciro receives his 2,458th icing from the Tent Fairy, as Jefe pleads to conserve water, backfiring spectacularly.
Another week of hot summer action at Onion Creek today as Cameron Road United and friends faced off against yet another team without a gray hair in sight. Also another good week of subs showing up, including Twisted Tea Nick, Yunir, and the third tip of the Tiny Trident, Scott. Nolan was back in goal…
Summer game #2 was a welcome 8am respite from the Texas heat, although it was still humid and sticky like the inside of one of Jaybone’s gloves. Speaking of Jaybone, with Nolan (a.k.a. The Kid) still between the pipes, Jay got a kickstart to his summer minutes in the open field as he was one…
You know it. You love it. You can’t get enough of it. Year after year you wonder why you are still doing it. It’s Summer Soccer! The Honey Badgers lost their opener to a team full of under 30 year olds and one gray hair who are hanging out in D5 for some reason. The…
In their personal Messi vs Ronaldo yearly competition, another Golden Boot has gone into the Gigi side of the ledger as he wrapped up yet another stellar season with a goal in the final game.
With a compelling vote tally, Guillermo cemented his place in Honey Badger lore by securing his first MVP trophy. A rock at the back. An offensive threat. A share with a tent built in. There are many reasons Guillermo garnered so many votes this season. But his defining moment came in the Fall when he…
On a sunny field strewn with hope and an atmospheric sponge of humidity, the mighty Cameron Road United Honey Badgers marched into battle once more, armed with two subs, questionable stretching routines, and the need to end the season on a high note and regain some long-lost self respect. The match opened with intensity as…
