There just may be a reason Galacticos are currently 22 points ahead of Cameron Road this early in the season. Could be their excellent passing and shooting. Or it could be that the Honey Badgers still haven’t awoken fully from their Premier League hangover. Whatever the case, it was a fairly miserable Sunday at ye’old Onion…
A new year, a new decade, and the Match Report is back baby! And what a way to start of 2020 as Cameron Road United unleash their counter attack to perfection with a 3-1 victory against the Madrigal Dragons. Been a long time coming, yes indeed, but the Honey Badgers are off and running on…
The Soccer Gods have not been kind to Cameron Road this calendar year. A few wins and countless heartache was dished out by the tree line. Character was built up. Life lessons were learned. Patience was tested. But through it all, the Honey Badgers remained a formidable opponent, always ready to fight back when trapped in…
With injuries, out-of-towners, and “maybees” depleting the Cameron Road roster for the week, 10 brave Badgers manned Onion Creek like the Spartans at the Hot Gates. It was a media blackout, but reliable sources said Cameron Road fought well, gave the good fight, enjoyed some fantastic soccering weather, and drank a beer or seven after the game….
The Honey Badgers hoped to maintain a bit of momentum coming off the draw with the Punters, and next up on the schedule was Verity. Verity is another beer and grill loving thorn in the Honey Badgers side from years past. They are pretty big, and do a good job of moving the ball around….
The bi-annual rite of passage for Clark Field Supremacy was on display yesterday as the Honey Badgers and Punters squared off for their cathartic grudge match. Could Cameron Road bust out of their slump and get a result, fueled by Luke’s glorious motivational email and the watchful eyes of the tree line? Slim numbers and…
On the last melting hot weekend of this Texas-sized Indian summer, Cameron Road squared up against Galacticos for an early morning at Onion Creek. The mist rose like warm steam from a fresh plate of Luke’s Grandmother’s biscuits as Jefe and Jake warmed up in the pre-dawn hour. The occupancy of Badgertown was looking sparse…
Driving through the palatial and vibrant regions of downtown Manor, the Honey Badgers gathered for yearly Crown and Anchor bragging rights with Chopped Liverpool – a perennial thorn in the collective badger’s paw. The team was missing some iconic figures prior to the game, as Jefe and the tent were nowhere in sight. A sad…
If one opened up the oven – mid-bake – while a plate of Luke’s Grandmother’s biscuits were reaching their golden brown zenith, it would only be 10 degrees warmer than the searing atmosphere surrounding the Onion Creek fields yesterday at 2pm. Brutal. To combat the oppressive heat, Cameron Road unveiled a new 3 tent system, 2/3 of…
Mid September and it’s still hot as balls at Onion Creek as the Honey Badgers assembled for their noon tussle with ATX United. ATX looked pretty strong, with some vaguely familiar Premier-ish looking forwards in the mix from their apparent league-wide roster of 800 players. Cameron Road fielded a pretty strong side with 4 subs…
Why was it 100+ degrees in September? Why were there only 2 subs? Why was Andy wearing his complete uniform? Why was the pitch a lopsided, gigantic sand dune? Typical opening day questions for America’s favorite rag-tag bunch of soccer degenerates. With the Over 30 Premier nightmare behind them, the Honey Badgers looked forward to…
It. Is. Over. Well, at least the heavy lifting is over. Yesterday’s match against a pesky, 2nd place Austin Thunder was the final “top dawg” opponent that the Honey Badgers had to face in this damned year of character building. The only thing that remains is a “Stay Cool See Ya Next Summer” last day…
Unlike the lazy writers over at Game of Thrones, the Honey Badgers refuse to give up and throw their hands up at the end of the season. Sure, it’s easy to just pretend a moving dragon can be shot out of the sky by a bunch of wooden ships with harpoon guns facing directly forward without ever seeing…
Only three games remain in “The Year of the Dead” (why does he keep saying that?) thankfully, and this week it’s Levelfield who are now in the Honey Badgers rear view mirror, never to be seen again except from the sidelines with a cold beer in hand. Stunningly, this was one of Cameron Road’s better…
Yeah yeah yeah, the final score was another epic beatdown against a strong Premier team with quality players, skill, athleticism, touch, passing ability, women’s headbands, and points on the table. Booooooooring! But in the opening minutes of match, the Honey Badgers themselves looked like a squad that could dominate on the pitch as well as on…
After shipping in 16 goals the past two games, the Honey Badgers tightened things up and didn’t give up a single goal in open play to Waterloo in a fiercely contested 2-1 los yesterday afternoon. It was their best showing against a Premier team all season, and if it weren’t for a once in a…
On a blustery day where winter clung to Onion Creek like Ciro clutching his USB portable heater on an 85 degree afternoon, the Honey Badgers gathered to do battle after last week’s blood letting. With a flurry of late night text exchanges, Jay employed his 5 man defensive shield in front of him to start…
Best Impersonation of an Over 30 Premier Team: Cameron Road Untied. Best Header of a Ball Without Knowing You are Heading a Ball: BT, after Jaybone nailed him in the back of the head. Best Comeback Line: Ryan Willis for his timely comment to last week’s referee after the umpteenth Wickham goal went in. “What…
Just when you least expect it, the Match Report is back! Like a fart under the covers on Valentine’s Day. For those not fortunate enough to have spent the last three months at Clark Field every Sunday, today marked the first soccer action of the new year. There was a little rust to knock off,…
This week’s installment brought to you by: BT’s neck beard, Peterson’s tuna sandwiches, Ciro’s new “high-vis” match ball, New Brian’s elegant yacht-wear, Jaybone’s face save, New Jeff’s sore back, Derek’s “loneliest man past the halfway line” lifestyle, Chris G’s biceps and abs, Adam’s oranges, Jefe’s Chelsea hat, Bret’s new boots, Danimal’s reverse pineapple voice of…
3 Apaches and 2 Chinooks dropped an impressive amount of ordnance over the tree line yesterday to combat the worm and fly infestation. #Bugpocalypse
The Battle of Waterloo was fought on Sunday, 18 June 1815, near Waterloo in present-day Belgium, then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. A French army under the command of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte was defeated by two of the armies of the Seventh Coalition: a British-led Allied army under the command of the Duke of Wellington, and a Prussian army under the command of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher, Prince…
Dave forgot his cleats. Derek had a few shots. Jaybone made some fantastic saves. The Honey Badgers controlled the first 20 minutes of the second half. Ciro scored a cracker. Jeff got iced. Any scores you read on the AMSA website are FAKE NEWS!!!! Men-of-the-Match: Thanks to Dermot and Scott for donating their coveted jerseys…
In what has been a truly remarkable run since the Fall Cup, the Honey Badgers finished off their undefeated Spring Season with a 2-1 win over the division champions, Phoenix. Sure, sure, Phoenix started a man down (or two), but who’s counting, right? The ended up full strength when it was all said and done…
NEMP 18? Where in the Hell is NEMP 18? On a desolate strip of near barren, undulating tundra, Cameron Road brought their A-Game to vanquish yet another opponent in what has become a fairly remarkable run since the start of the Fall Cup. While beating Liverpool and resuming normal service as Crown & Anchor Champions…
The field was covered with a light coat of dew as the Honey Badgers arrived for their early morning, 8am game with Verity. Unfortunately, the dew was brown, lumpy, and left near the touch line by some sort of bear-human hybrid and had to be removed with an old tent cover found in the trash…
Ah, it’s springtime in Austin. You know, where it’s 40 degrees and freezing on Saturday, and 75 and sunny on soccer Sunday. Where the flowers are in full bloom and there’s not a worry on an ill word on anyone’s mind. Where peace and harmony reign supreme and middle aged men stand together, hand-in-hand, to…
The Honey Badgers are on a heater. This season has seen them take 11 out of 15 points with no losses (and a perfect post-match record), and they don’t look to let up anytime soon. After last week’s mauling of Cosmos up in Manor, Cameron Road was back at their familiar stomping grounds at Onion…
