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…
What follows is a week-long transcript of the Honey Badgers victory. Thread started and titled by Chris Peterson: PETERSON: C Road 3, Idiot Team 0
Two fantastic goals, a shutout, 3 yellow cards, cookies, ice baths, duplicate ice baths, and a beautiful sunset that drenched the treeline. This game had it all! Nobody likes to play Beercelona. They have several giant lugs and an all around solid squad. They are known for giving the Honey Badgers fits. But Cameron Road was…
Another day, another match where the Punters Clark Field dominance seems like a distant memory. Well, I guess it is a distant memory as Cameron Road found their Honey Badger spirit to claw out a 1-1 draw at Onion Creek today. Nestled deep within the treeline on field #10, Cameron Road were buzzing with Luke’s…
Ahh, remember the good l’days of December yore when the Honey Badgers were making their Fall Cup run straight through the hearts of the Punters and Dragons? Well, it was time to put the past to bed and suit up for the first competitive soccer in two and a half months. For the first game of…
Cameron Road may have been edged out at the final whistle in yesterday’s match with Beercalona, but as the Fall Season came to a close, they are still #winning. Lets review the goals for the season: #1 Beat the Punters, check. #2 Finish ahead of the Punters/Dragons/Strikers, check. #3 Sit comfortably upper to mid table…
Many wondered if the Honey Badgers would have anything left to play for after vanquishing the Punters last week. After besting their biggest rivals (sorry Dragons), would there even be a reason to get out of bed on Sundays? Well, another trip down memory lane beckoned as Verity was next up on the schedule. Cameron…
