Another nooner in full effect this week as the Honey Badgers faced Austin Athletic Club. Cameron Road welcomed back Guillermo with open arms after week’s on the shelf with a foot injury. Look out for those tiny turf divots you 40 year old! The Badgers also gained the defensive services of Nick L, picking up…
Summer soccer at noon. A rite of passage. Can you survive? Can you outlast the other team? Will you pass out from a heat stroke and have to be revived by a cooler full of gooch water to the dome? Honey Badgers don’t give a shit. Good squad for yesterday’s match with 4-5 subs, which…
The league gave the Badgers the honey pot spot with an 8am game on Father’s Day. It was cool, cloudy and not yet into triple digits. Jefe was out, but he made sure to give the precious Real Ale cooler to newcomer Matt (did you happen to hear Cameron Road has a sponsorship with Real…
First game of the 2023 Summer Season. The Onion Creek grass was lush. The tent was wobbly. There were plenty of new faces in the mix, and Jefe rolled 7 bones. Jefe had been hard at work recruiting some extra Badgers-in-Training to make sure the core squad didn’t die of a Texas heat stroke in…
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…
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…
Another beautiful 8am game at the Clark Field Stadium. Green grass, musical vibes, Ciro had Starbucks and Jefe had a pre-game Twisted Tea. All was good…. except there wasn’t a keeper in sight with Jaybone reenacting the 1985 smash hit Easy Lover by Phil Collins and Philip Bailey in his living room. “Billy, you want…
“A wiser fella once said, sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes, well, the bar eats you.” And sometimes the bar is the sponsor for two teams in an epic shootout at Onion Creek on a muggy Sunday morning. The Badgers and Friends squared off against an ancient foe yesterday as they faced Chopped Liverpool….
The good folks at league headquarters pulled the old switcharoo on the Badgers for their 8am game on Sunday. Instead of playing Cell United, the hapless team from Tesla, Cameron Road faced and Over 40 Premier team, Mean-Eyed Cat. Looks like they got bumped down to our division, while Cell United moved on to greener…
For the 2022 Summer Campaign, the Cameron Road United Board put together a Frankenstein-like squad filled with Clark Field All Stars and fellow Over 40 members to battle the heat and young legs they might face. With game one scrapped, this was the Honey Badgers first test, and they drew the short straw of time…
Last game of the summer and Cameron Road are starting to get their swagger back. With two tents, six subs, Lil’Dave, many coolers of beer and a new hat for Chappy, the Honey Badgers were ready to kick it into high gear. Unfortunately, they started off in reverse, giving up a silly breakaway goal in…
You know that one game of Summer Soccer when you start to question your life choices? That mid-August 2:00 game when you don’t have enough players, it’s about 150 degrees outside, and your opponent has about 10 subs? Yeah, that was yesterday. Surprisingly, the Honey Badgers overcame most of these obstacles and fought hard against…
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…
