5:55 am – Jefe text Chappy to tell him that it’s raining Dragon Tears. 5:58 am – Ryan takes first shit of morning. 6:48 am – Jefe arrives at fields. 7:06 am – Ryan takes second shit of morning 7:10 am – Chappy captures rainbow on drive showing exact location of Zeke’s Honey Pot like…
The Honey Badgers woke up thinking, “could this be the day?” After Luke’s late-week motivational email, the champagne was re-re-re-re-iced and tucked away in the Yeti along with various post-game selections for the possible taste of victory. Messi was there minus fingerless gloves and mime makeup, Houston was there minus a dog, Jake was there…
Son of a…. Up 3-2 with 10 minutes to play sounded like it was gonna be time to pop the top on that bottle of champagne and breathe a collective sigh of relief, but since this is the year of the dead honey badger, things didn’t turn out the way Cameron Road had planned it….
Yeah but who’s keeping score, right? Too many good things surrounded this matchup of Clark Field brethren to focus on the outcome. Jefe and Chappy assembled Badger Town early at 8am. The strategy was twofold. One, to secure “The Tree” and establish a beachhead for afternoon operations. Two, to check out the Clark Field Red…
Courtesy of Adam Greenspan As penance for the many new and creative ways I came up with to not put the ball in the net today, my arms and I will be your guides through this match report. The gods of soccer weather were in a mood for dickery, raining just enough that you could…
The breeze was glorious. The temperature was fruitful. The sun was nowhere to be found. Unfortunately, most of the Cameron Road United squad was also nowhere to be found as only 8 lonely Honey Badgers were available for the first round of summer ball. No worries, at least everyone had plenty of time on the…
I decided that each of us having their own personal soccer haiku would pump us up for glorious summer victory. I mean, why wouldn’t it? Makes sense. Ok, good talk. Let’s beat these dentists.
And so another Summer Season cometh to a close. Great way to end the season with back to back solid performances.
“Nice try stupid team, we are Cameron Road. We don’t even know how it happens, just does” – Chris Peterson That pretty much sums up yesterday’s 4-2 win over previously undefeated (and quite full of themselves) Galacticos. The fact that there even was a game was pretty amazing. Driving to the fields before 2:00, there…
BT On Fire! McKenna Can’t Miss! Chappy Continues to Miss! Who is Cory? Ryan Drinks Early! Jake and his Ascot!
Like Muhammad Ali in his prime, the Honey Badgers continued their summer “rope-a-dope” strategy with yet another strategic loss. While the Honey Badgers seem unable and unwilling to deploy this tactic during the regular season, they have no trouble deceiving the league once the temperatures hit triple digits. With a few subs to spare (but only…
Epilogue: The visions grew more intense in their temerity and lucidity; What was going on? 48 year old Jeff Spicoli? A cut back?….. “Put it Up!”……. Jake heading it off the defensive line. Yuni giving out handshakes. Adam thumping a left footed shot for goal? Against the Dragons!????.. Wu tang!…………. Chappy awakened from his dream… Confused and…
Ahh, it’s just summer, right? Despite playing some pretty nice football for a lot of the game, the Honey Badgers just couldn’t overcome two goals and a penalty kick by Austin Blues. The Badgers back line was mostly strong, the midfield was able to pass the ball around smartly, but with Steve and Derek MIA,…
The Chris Peterson “Send it” Report: Well, unless you have a jacked up toe or other aliments you came to the game. That was about 11.5 of us, Brett was on Dad duty and well BT has calves apparently. In a day where Chappy circled Onion Creek via airplane with a future blow job in Mexico…
Apparently, Greg and AJ have put together a summer team, gathering up some familiar faces from Clark Field (who eerily resemble the Punters). Since both of them refused Chappy’s pre-match $10 bribe, the game moved on as scheduled in the 200 degree Texas sun. Heroically, Cameron Road managed to hold Greg and AJ scoreless for…
The Honey Badgers beat Club America 3-1 on opening day of the Summer Season and still haven’t lost in 2018. While the forecast was for thundershowers, the only thing that the clouds did was to hover over the fields at Onion Creek and take a humidity dump for 90 minutes. It. Was. Hot. And muggy.
This is the way the season ends This is the way the season ends This is the way the season ends Not with a bang but a whimper.
….. if they had not already scored 5 first half goals. Cameron Road battled the blazing heat, tireless teenagers, starting and finishing with 10 men, no subs, and a single tent yesterday in the loss to Deportivo. Sure, sure, the first half was kind of a blur, but just think what would have happened if…
Things are starting to click for the Honey Badgers as their Summer campaign continues to be a successful journey. Sunday saw Cameron Road play some quality soccer against a fierce division rival.
2:00 on a July afternoon. That’s why you sign up for Summer Soccer. There’s no hiding from the heat, and if you can make it through the game without having a heat stroke, the post-game beers are that much more delicious (unless Andy hands you some sort of crushed up sweet tart /zima mash up…
Not sure I understand when the other teams says “It’s only summer man!!!” That must be code for “stop kicking our ass!” The final score was 6-0, but the Honey Badgers were out for Cobra blood and it could have been 16. After last week’s hard-fought game against Waterloo, Cameron Road pulled out the can…
Jefe’s ramblings to Honey Badger Headquarters following the hard-fought 5 goal loss to like, a 30 year old Premier team. I iced Derek who then iced Billy who then tripped over his cooler and landed on his face….. then…… Billy on face on ground holy fuck. 0-1 at halftime, dude on their team told me to…
This day had been coming ever since Cameron Road had an off day at NEMP to the Gunners a few months back. Revenge is a dish best served up with a side of Cobra, and the 18 Honey Badgers who showed up for this 10am Summer Game were hungry. Badgertown was bustling with activity during…
It was a one-of-a-kind event on Sunday as Referee Czar Aubry Daniels set up a final farewell match for longtime AMSA servant Scott Boykin, and decided that Cameron Road United were to be his swan song opponent. Quite an honor for the Honey Badgers. It was a friendlyish game, and both Andy and Willis decided to jump…
There was rain and cooler temperatures in the forecast. The Honey Badgers got neither Sunday morning, and were instead treated to Vietnam-like, sweltering heat and humidity for their 8am DMZ rendezvous with a plate of Mas Fajitas. Mas Fajitas were a mixed bag, but the core of their team consisted of a gang of kids…
Badgers win! Badgers win! It was a battle for animal kingdom supremacy on Sunday, and there was going to be only one winner who just didn’t give a shit. The Honey Badgers defeated the snarling Wolverines 2-0 and finally got their first summer win of the season. Whew. In stark contrast to last week, the…
Ughhh. It was not pretty yesterday as Cameron Road’s summer woes continued with a 3-1 loss to the Austin Athletic All Stars. AAC were stacked with a few professional wrestlers, the Mountain from Game of Thrones, and a few scattered lower division players. Still, if it weren’t for Chappy’s abysmal finishing and the referee’s blind…
In a battle of the zoo animals, the Honey Badgers and Bad Monkeys played to a thrilling 3-3 draw as the blistering Texas summer heat baked the field like a plate of Luke’s Grandmother’s hot biscuits that were left in the over too long. Badgertown was two tents strong, and with the deflated Punter’s tent serving as…
On a positive note, Danimal returned with a brand new Hops and Grain summer brew which was fantastic. He also scored the only goal of the game for the Honey Badgers as his visceral plunges forward into the depths of Real Austin’s box lead the charge for the second half comeback.
With the spring season behind them, the Honey Badgers embarked on their annual summer tour of duty. First up on the docket was long-time rival Struggle F.C. Back in the day, these two teams tore up a patch or two of grass battling it out with a friendly rivalry, so it was nice to see…
