Cameron Road finished off the last game of the season with a resounding win against South Austin FC to remain at the top of the table headed into the winter break. This match featured an extra hour of sleep due to daylight savings time, and the Honey Badgers took full advantage of it by getting their…
The Mist descended upon Manor like something out of a Stephen King novel. It was the morning before Halloween, and all the tree line gremlins and shadow cats prowled the pitch in search of a bloody feast. They must have gotten to Verity early and snatched one of their players up, because they only had…
After two successive 1-goal defeats, the Honey Badgers were in desperate need of some of Luke’s Grandmother’s biscuits. (#metaphor) Facing Beercelona though, is no easy task. They were sitting pretty at the top of the Over 30A table and were coming off a summer thrashing of Cameron Road where they dropped 6 goals on the…
For the second consecutive week, Cameron Road came up just a few plays short and again lost by 1 goal. It was another good game against two evenly matched teams, but this time out the Honey Badgers slick passing game was lost somewhere deep in the tree line and replaced by a battering ram approach….
As Carl Sagan would have said it, “the Honey Badgers had billions and billions of chances,” but just couldn’t put the ball into the back of the net to avenge Carlos’ injury. (Google it, it’s a pretty clever reference) With plenty of subs, a sideline bursting with fandom, a drunken Verity crew handing out #service…
If ever there was a time for a letdown, it was Sunday. A week removed from beating their biggest rivals (sorry Dragons), the Honey Badgers could have taken their foot off the gas and taken a leisurely drive out to Manor for a little game of grab ass. Instead, they chose to install a 4:11 Positrac…
In a game three years in the making, the Honey Badgers beat longtime Clark Field rivals The Punters with the prestigious “Soccer 1” status on the line. Goals by Andy and Gianluca sealed the victory in the second half, and a rock-solid Danimal lead defense pitched a shutout as the frustrated Punters found no love in…
Week two and the Honey Badgers are sitting pretty at the top of the table. Who woulda thunk it? A 4-1 victory against Club America yesterday saw them ascend to the top of the standings with an impressive performance. The Honey Badgers traded in their 5% possession game from last week and switched to a…
In an epic show of team strength, heroic defending, grit, determination and one fantastic counter attacking goal, Cameron Road United took the league by storm winning their Over 30A opener 1-0. Badger Town received an upgrade as Jefe went West Coast Customs on our new tent. There were $300 worth of new match balls in…
Another week, another 1 goal loss. At least the Honey Badgers are developing some consistency. That’s three 1 goal losses out of four so far. It was looking rough at kickoff as Cameron Road suited up 8 players to take on Austin Blues, and the Dragons were in full heckling form after their Division 12 win…
Apparently there was a game very early in the morn on July 26. Andy scored a glorious volley and Gigi bagged a late goal…. and in between Beercelona ran riot. Oh well, the beaches of the Mayan Riviera were wonderful.
Two things happened yesterday that have not occurred in quite some time. The Honey Badgers rocked their white kits, and they lost a game. It was a pretty good match as the Honey Badgers had some key members missing and their opponents came prepared with about 20 subs. After going down 3-0, Cameron Road decided…
Cameron Road United were crowned Over 30B Champions on Sunday after brushing aside Bat City 3-1 in their final game of the season. It was quite a ride for the Honey Badgers, who made up close to 10 points from the start of the Spring Season to surge back up the table with a blistering…
Another week. Another win. Another shutout. Another step closer to the title. Stop me if you’re heard this before. Cameron Road United are on such an incredible run that it is literally sending shockwaves throughout the sporting world. Fans in Leicester City are calling their improbable run to the EPL title, “doing a honey badger”….
Knowing that they could not afford a letdown after dismantling the Dragons, Captain Chappy took a page out of Alex Ferguson’s latest book on leadership and decided to stoke the flames within the team. In a pure act of altruism, he purposely severely injured his back lifting massive amounts of iron at CrossFit on Saturday….
Call it fate. Call it destiny. Call it sweet sweet revenge. Whatever superlative you slap on it, for 90 glorious minutes Cameron Road United basked in pure, white-hot footballing nirvana as they dismantled the Dragons, reclaimed their trophy, and moved to within one point of first place atop the Over 30B table.
On a positively NEMPish day at Onion Creek, where winter made a brief return and breathed out her last, cold breath, Cameron Road United rode their hot streak for their fourth consecutive victory of the season. With the news of a full Dragon collapse on field #5, the Honey Badgers knew they could make up…
In case anyone hadn’t heard, yesterday was Jefe’s birthday. First to the field, and most likely last to leave, Jeff had a memorable one for sure.
And the Oscar goes to…. BEST PASS TO A PLAYER IN AN OFFSIDE POSITION: Chappy, for his wonderful “assist” to Andy for a “goal” early in the second half. Apparently, Andy was offside by a good 15 yards.
After months and months of being on the business end of eagle claws, Cuban missile crises, Ben on Ben crime and a never ending revolving door of practice sites, the Honey Badgers finally got to play a real game yesterday as the Spring Season got underway.
From the 20 minute delay, to the “phantom whistle,” to several shots off the post and the sub-par referee, it seemed like the Soccer Gods were conspiring against Cameron Road as they dropped their season finale against Juventus. With a swolt sideline of subs and spectaters, Cameron Road started off the game in spectacular fashion,…
It was early. It was cold. It was NEMP. There were no subs. There was no keeper. Ciro forgot his jersey. All of these first world problems were facing the Honey Badgers as they lined up for this morning’s game. Thanks to BT, Cameron Road thought they had 11, but the chopper from the Easy…
For the second week in a row, Cameron Road was given an early wakeup call for an 8am game. This time around, they faced the tall trees of ATX United. In a show of solidarity, those early to the field determined CRU would suit up in their white, blue and red kits to pay tribute…
The Soccer Gods briefly suspended monsoon season and allowed a 24-hour window of playability at Onion Creek yesterday. The fields were lush and lumpy, like a bowl of steel cut oats served with some of Luke’s Grandmother’s hot biscuits. Kickoff was a crisp and early 8am. The opponent, Slaughter Rovers, were clad in strange black…
Last week’s special guest trip to the Spirit World is replaced by a more familiar narrative. This week, we turn the page on chapter 5, as the Honey Badgers mauled Lucky Lounge 6-1 for their fourth win in a row. At 11:15am, the Badger Den looked like a homeless soup kitchen packed with Scotty Boykin…
October 4th, 2015 Austin TX 6:00 a.m. – Awaken from a peaceful slumber. 6:05 a.m. – Visit Spirit World. 6:25 a.m. – Water plants. 6:30 a.m. – Visit Spirit World. 7:00 a.m. – Feed cat. 7:15 a.m. – Visit Spirit World. 7:30 a.m. – Leave home on Falcor’s back, following a unicorn headed towards Manor, TX. 8:00 a.m. – Arrive at EMP. 8:10…
Cameron Road continued their hot streak and won it’s second game on the bounce by defeating Austin Athletic Club 2-1. It was another solid team performance from the Honey Badgers who only had 2 subs on the bench. This was a somewhat new Austin Athletic Club team, and they were much easier to break down…
What a difference a week makes. After losing the Clark Field Derby Trophy in rather humiliating fashion last week, the Honey Badgers rebounded with a resounding 2-0 victory against Phoenix yesterday. With two tents worth of subs, beer and defenders, Cameron Road United was looking solid in the pre-game warm up. And low and behold,…
