The Austin fan base has a lot of people who think they know a whole lot about the sport but couldn’t name every eastern conference team.

It’s really great the governor doesn’t know what a tariff is or how they work.

In an effort to reframe the general playoff anxiety and overwhelm from half a dozen screaming children, admin has found the humor.

Austin FC player touches the ball: YAHHHHHHH

Didn’t get a preview article together, but predicting an LAFC 2-0 win tonight with Bukari questionable for Austin.

I've recently been reminded that at least some of the immigrants that Abbot sent the Texas national guard to kidnap, are the same immigrants Abbott flew to Chicago in the dead of winter in flip flops and a t shirt to overwhelm the city. Instead Chicago residents clothed, fed and resettled them

Now that Austin FC has made the playoffs, the goal should be to get results to get out of the 8-9 play-in game.

In a worst case scenario of Austin losing both of its remaining games, three of the teams currently near Austin could finish ahead of them. Austin has 44 points and 12 wins. (Thread)

Austin fans are terrified we go to SJ on Decision Day and somehow end up going back there for the play-in game too
