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…
Lofty FC fought well, but they were no match for the staying power of the Honey Badgers on the last day of the season. A victory after a victory! There were Sour Patch kids (a far superior candy to anything made by the Jolly Rancher clan), kolaches, icings of Ciro (of course), golf balls hit,…
It’s been far too long since we’ve heard the sultry voice of our clean-living Scotsman. But he’s back with an end-of-year assessment!
In perhaps his best performance of the season, Chappy put his money where his mouth was and grabbed Danny’s 50 yard wedge shot out of the air on the first try. Might be a third act as a circus performer in his future.
We got an MVP winner, a Spiritual Leader, a Normal Human, and the Golden Boot winner all celebrating together.
With real ice. Look at his face. He loves it.
After narrowly missing out on the final game of last year, Danimal joined the “normal humans” after receiving his Golden Pineapple for a red card-less season! He also probably set the record for defensive goals in a season finishing on a hot-streak of 4 in a row.
It was a tight race, but Derek edged out Jesus on assists to add to his silverware.
With a brilliant, consistent season in midfield, Schwarzy takes home the MVP for a great season!
After rescheduling 3 times, the Honey Badgers were finally able to close out the 2022/2023 season against Lofty FC. The grass was lush and green, there was a light mist in the air, the tent was standing proud (that would be the MVP vote getting tent), and Ciro was chomping down on a spicy chicken…
The Austin weather gremlin was busy at it late last week going from hail on Friday, to NEMP-like winds on Saturday, to summer-like heat on game day – which made for a tough outing at Onion Creek for the 2:00 start. Luckily the Honey Badgers came prepared with two tents, several Badger Cubs, plenty of…
It wasn’t Wrexham winning promotion level excitement, but Cameron Road roared back to life with a thrilling and complete victory against Chopped Liverpool in a battle for Crown & Anchor superiority. After two crushing defeats, it was time to right the ship. With Chappy out of town, Jefe was in charge of the precious ziplock…
Another week, another bounce of the ball that just didn’t go the Badgers way as they lost a close match to Austin Athletic Club. Things were looking positive before the game. The tent was erected. Jefe had royal blue shorts. Danny brought donuts and kolaches. Andy and his extra 9lbs graced the Badgers with his…
Notes from Wednesday Night Practice: After beating down the Punters at practice, Billy Spearheaded the charge to get back and retake the Crown and Anchor. Several key findings followed: The demise of Billy’s social skills have been greatly exaggerated as he was in fine form on and off the pitch. Greg, owner of the Crown…
This season the Badgers have been hot and cold, and like Ciro’s post-game crotchal region, they were ice cold on Sunday. The good news was that Cameron Road showed up with not one, not two, but three shiny new game balls and 6 subs. Consider the pre-game won. After splashing on a copious amount of…
Just when you thought summer was here, Austin decided to throw one last cold front into the mix – sending Ciro and his delicate core temp in search of warmer climates. There were other notable missing Badgers as Gianluca decided to take Adam’s ’03 Accord on a road trip with Guillermo, and Jefe was in…
Yesterday’s post game deserves its own write up as it was one for the ages. It had everything you’d want including: plumes of smoke, icings, a wrestling match and guided meditation. Ciro kicked it off by describing the game as a “kerfuffle.” A kerfuffle? When did he morph into a 1950’s ad executive? From there,…
Match Day 3 and the Badgers were facing first place Travis FC. Cameron Road had a good pre-game as Jay, Jefe and Chappy showed up early to get a feel for for the exposed dirt fields which are starting to fill up the Onion Creek Soccer Complex. Also, Jefe told the tale of his new…
Since there were no takers on Guillermo’s slightly used size 10 cleats, we decided to turn them into bunk beds for Derek and Ciro so that they may always get a good night’s sleep before games.
Game two of the young season and Cameron Road was looking for an improvement over last week’s game at NEMP. Speaking of NEMP, the trade winds from Pflugerville must have been blowing because Onion Creek was gusty. A strategic coin toss win saw the Badgers get the big winds for the second half surge, if…
Opening Day 2023! A nice and steamy February morning had the Honey Badgers up early with a trip to the wonky fields of NEMP. The mist was rising, as were the bumps on the field. A strong group gathered pretty much on-time with four subs at their disposal to face off against Hill Country United….
Last game of the Fall Season against a Classic old-school CRU opponent, the dreaded Celtic Cowboys! The Honey Badgers Haden’t faced off against the Celts in a few years, but it was nice to see the green and white hoops across the lines like days of old. With Jayone suffering a shoulder injury while dreaming…
On an actual winter morning, with frost in the air and Ciro in need of a thick, wool blanket, the Honey Badgers got back to their winning ways with a 2-1 thumping of long-time friendly rivals, Beercalona. Badgertown didn’t have a tent on this gray morning, but they did have some Badgers to welcome back…
Sunday. Noon. Still too hot and muggy for November. Ciro was in uniform, but for how long? Andy showed up, but would he have his jersey and cleats? Jefe and the tents were back, but would they turn the tide? Three-ish subs arrived, but would they be enough? So many questions. So many questions. The…
No tent. No ball. No beer. No Jefe. There were some David S Pumpkins level Halloween tricks going on yesterday at Onion Creek. Brian Parks did show up for this first action this season after recovering from successful pronoun surgery. He’s now going by “Dem Parks”. He also brought a ball, as did Ciro who…
