It wasn’t Wrexham winning promotion level excitement, but Cameron Road roared back to life with a thrilling and complete victory against Chopped Liverpool in a battle for Crown & Anchor superiority. After two crushing defeats, it was time to right the ship. With Chappy out of town, Jefe was in charge of the precious ziplock…
Another week, another bounce of the ball that just didn’t go the Badgers way as they lost a close match to Austin Athletic Club. Things were looking positive before the game. The tent was erected. Jefe had royal blue shorts. Danny brought donuts and kolaches. Andy and his extra 9lbs graced the Badgers with his…
Notes from Wednesday Night Practice: After beating down the Punters at practice, Billy Spearheaded the charge to get back and retake the Crown and Anchor. Several key findings followed: The demise of Billy’s social skills have been greatly exaggerated as he was in fine form on and off the pitch. Greg, owner of the Crown…
This season the Badgers have been hot and cold, and like Ciro’s post-game crotchal region, they were ice cold on Sunday. The good news was that Cameron Road showed up with not one, not two, but three shiny new game balls and 6 subs. Consider the pre-game won. After splashing on a copious amount of…
Just when you thought summer was here, Austin decided to throw one last cold front into the mix – sending Ciro and his delicate core temp in search of warmer climates. There were other notable missing Badgers as Gianluca decided to take Adam’s ’03 Accord on a road trip with Guillermo, and Jefe was in…
Yesterday’s post game deserves its own write up as it was one for the ages. It had everything you’d want including: plumes of smoke, icings, a wrestling match and guided meditation. Ciro kicked it off by describing the game as a “kerfuffle.” A kerfuffle? When did he morph into a 1950’s ad executive? From there,…
Match Day 3 and the Badgers were facing first place Travis FC. Cameron Road had a good pre-game as Jay, Jefe and Chappy showed up early to get a feel for for the exposed dirt fields which are starting to fill up the Onion Creek Soccer Complex. Also, Jefe told the tale of his new…
Since there were no takers on Guillermo’s slightly used size 10 cleats, we decided to turn them into bunk beds for Derek and Ciro so that they may always get a good night’s sleep before games.
Game two of the young season and Cameron Road was looking for an improvement over last week’s game at NEMP. Speaking of NEMP, the trade winds from Pflugerville must have been blowing because Onion Creek was gusty. A strategic coin toss win saw the Badgers get the big winds for the second half surge, if…
Opening Day 2023! A nice and steamy February morning had the Honey Badgers up early with a trip to the wonky fields of NEMP. The mist was rising, as were the bumps on the field. A strong group gathered pretty much on-time with four subs at their disposal to face off against Hill Country United….
Last game of the Fall Season against a Classic old-school CRU opponent, the dreaded Celtic Cowboys! The Honey Badgers Haden’t faced off against the Celts in a few years, but it was nice to see the green and white hoops across the lines like days of old. With Jayone suffering a shoulder injury while dreaming…
On an actual winter morning, with frost in the air and Ciro in need of a thick, wool blanket, the Honey Badgers got back to their winning ways with a 2-1 thumping of long-time friendly rivals, Beercalona. Badgertown didn’t have a tent on this gray morning, but they did have some Badgers to welcome back…
Sunday. Noon. Still too hot and muggy for November. Ciro was in uniform, but for how long? Andy showed up, but would he have his jersey and cleats? Jefe and the tents were back, but would they turn the tide? Three-ish subs arrived, but would they be enough? So many questions. So many questions. The…
No tent. No ball. No beer. No Jefe. There were some David S Pumpkins level Halloween tricks going on yesterday at Onion Creek. Brian Parks did show up for this first action this season after recovering from successful pronoun surgery. He’s now going by “Dem Parks”. He also brought a ball, as did Ciro who…
Well, strategically, the Badgers are putting in work on their long-term plan of staying in Over 40A, and yesterday was the first step. The Badgers controlled most of the action, but just couldn’t find the back of the net enough to grab some points from their friendly rivalry with the pit masters of Beerca. Cameron…
October. A hint of fall in the air. Back to Onion Creek for a game against Lofty FC. Wait, what’s that, 3 subs in Badgertown! (well, for the first half anyway) A Nasty Nate sighting! Danimal was back. Babies, children, two tents….. things were looking positive for Cameron Road during the pre-game build up. The…
Sunday brought the bi-annual pilgrimage to the high plains of NEMP. Jefe was (of course) first to the field to set up Badgertown and greet the players. The patchwork pitch was actually looking slightly less than terrible, with strange patches of St. Augustine sprouting up inside the 18 yard boxes, and rolling hills of semi-green…
The Match Report according to Jefe: They scored on us on a break away five minuted into the game. Jeff Z intercepted the ball but it went right to their guy, Todd. Of course his name is Todd…. he’s cool though. He was on the wrong side of me and it was a race to…
The musty jersey that has been sitting in the trunk of your car for a month. The search for the 2nd red sock. The shameful pre-game trek to the port-o-potty. The stickers covering the ball in pre-game warmup. Ahh, the sights and smells for Opening Day at Onion Creek. The Honey Badgers suited up for…
Last night, the Badgers picked up their trophy for the Over 40B title to add to their cabinet of curiosities. There was a Gigi appearance, ceviche in margarita mugs, a Punter trophy sighting, some actual decent t-shirts from the league, and a spry Peterson doing cartwheels post back surgery. It was a good night!
Big thanks to Beerca for providing the post-game grill out infrastructure for an epic end-of-season celebration! Those boys do it up right. For some the post-game lasted approximately 7 hours. Such a fitting end to a fantastic summer season. Couldn’t have done it without all the Punters, Jesus and Mark, a Verity and Guillermo N…
Finally, the end of the long, grueling, hot, summer season was at hand. In more of a friendly with the good folks from Beercalona, Cameron Road packed the 3 tents of Badgertown with a full squad of 20 players ready to battle it out on the pitch and then party down until sunset. It was…
Looking for an opportunity to bounce back from last week’s meltdown, the Honey Badgers gathered under Nick’s lone tent to prepare to battle the day glow clad gentleman from Austin Power Outage, who were decked out in bring pink tops. With Jefe successfully penetrating the inner sanctum of the Q2 Stadium the night before and…
The Honey Badgers were in for a fight today with some Hooligans. They were younger, faster, younger, and scoring goals for fun this summer as they rolled through the league with an undefeated record. Cool I guess if you’re into that kind of stuff, but did they have a tent with mist? Exactly. Boooooring. With…
Chappy was in Mexico so the Match Report is all heresy and conjecture. But word on the street was that it was a good game, albeit hot as balls at noon. Mark T scored a hat trick with assists from Adam G and his proud Papa, and Jefe shielded the keeper from his final free…
