Still sore. (Mainly, the cheeks.) #AustinFC

Work.

Lots of fun in Austin tonight as two of the five winningest D1 programs all-time collided. Highlights via @espn.com:

Today’s office.

Got to break this out today. It’s been a minute.

Monday's full comments from #AustinFC president re: 2026 MLS/Apple TV change and 2027 MLS calendar change. Perk: 2026 season ticket holders will get Apple TV for free (Ted Lasso, Severance, MLB, F1, and every MLS match).

✅ Friday in Texas for NCAA postseason soccer with Katie. ✅ Saturday in West Virginia for college rugby semifinal with @patmoroney.bsky.social.

Not ideal.

Major League Soccer and Apple today announced that beginning in 2026, all MLS matches will be available to stream for Apple TV subscribers at no additional cost. www.mlssoccer.com/news/major-l...

As part of the shift, the 2027–28 MLS regular season will kick off in mid-to-late July 2027 and conclude with the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs in May 2028. MLS will observe a midwinter break from mid-December through early February, with no league matches scheduled in January.

Yesterday wrapped a great four-day stretch. Way too many ties, though, despite only one soccer match.

Never too-soon in the season for a theme game. Getting Wicked in Waco as #16 Baylor gets set for its home opener, fresh off its big win over Duke in Paris. We’ve got Lions (no tigers) and Bears 2:00 PM CT on ESPN app. #Big12WBB

Championship-winner. #Big12SOC

Closing in on crowning a champion in the Big 12. We’ve got Kansas and BYU coming up 7:00 PM CT on ESPN+

Back courtside with Andrea for #4 Texas and #25 Richmond on SECN+.

Fun four-day stretch coming up. TBD whether I-35 and I are on speaking terms afterwards.

Fun start to my basketball schedule. Back at it with a top 25 clash Friday in Austin. Highlights from @espn.com:

Hoop Szn. Alongside the national champ Fran Harris for the season opener as #4 Texas hosts UIW. 7:00 PM on SECN+

Thank you. #AustinFC

Back home with friends. #AustinFC

Leveling a series > Leveling a match #AustinFC back home Sunday with a chance to force a decisive Game 3.

There are only two Major League Baseball play-by-play jobs in the country of Canada. They are held by a father and son. Both very talented, but not necessarily a feel-good story. (Obviously, this is not limited to our industry.) #WorldSeries

Incredibly difficult #Big12SOC field this year. Kansas #14 RPI is just the 7-seed in the 8-team tournament. All 8 teams top 33 RPI: #4 TCU, #7 Colorado, #9 WVU, #14 KU, #15 Baylor, #17 TxTech, #26 UCF, #33 BYU Entire tournament on ESPN+.

Reminder to sports teams: It is not a Media Day if the media wasn’t included. You are having an Internal Collection of Digital Visual Assets for Use Throughout the Season on Different Platforms Day.

Someone please go to fan services and request that the PA announce for Dale Austin to come find his family. #AustinFC

#AustinFC begins its 2nd-ever MLS playoff journey tonight. In ‘22, Owen made his 1st MLS start in a win at LAFC. The then-17-year-old came off the bench that year in the WCF at LAFC. Now 20, Owen is ATX’s top scorer & 1 of 5 players remaining from the WCF lineup. We go live 7:30p CT on Alt 97.5 FM.

#AustinFC has scored first in four of the last five meetings with LAFC (the exception was 2024 Leagues Cup). The team that scores first in the all-time series is 11-0-2t. Austin was 14-1-2t in all competitions this year when scoring first. The lone loss was Decision day.

A bit has changed for #AustinFC and LAFC in three years.

While the club’s first-ever loss was at LAFC (2021), #AustinFC subsequently has only lost one regular season match at LAFC (2023 Bouanga hat trick), 2-2-1t all-time. Austin, however, is 0-2 in knockout competitions played at LAFC (2022 WCF 0-3, 2024 Leagues Cup 0-2).

1,095 days. Tomorrow would have marked exactly three years since the last playoff match for #AustinFC (10/30/22 Western Conference Final at LAFC). Tonight, Austin is back where its 2022 run ended.

The fall colors of North Carolina provided a great backdrop today as we squeezed in one final golf broadcast for 2025.

90 minutes defined by a span of twenty-one seconds. Fun way to send Texas into the offseason and wrap a great fall with our SEC Network+ crew.

Closing out the regular season squeaky clean 🧼🤩 #LOUvHFD | Kroger

Calling college softball in October? Yes, please. With Cat Osterman? Fine. We’ve got fall softball between Texas State and UTSA 6pm CT on ESPN app.

Four-day weekend are the best.

About to go live in Waco.

Before tonight, #AustinFC was 12-0-2t when it scored first this MLS season.

In line to be the youngest player to lead the team in regular season scoring. 7 goals also matches the fourth highest MLS season total ever for an #AustinFC player.

By scoring in the first half tonight, Owen Wolff became the third player in Austin FC history to produce at least 15 goal contributions in a single regular season.

After making his MLS debut on Decision Day 2021 (age 16) and scoring his first MLS goal Decision Day 2022 in San Jose, Owen Wolff can become the youngest (20) #AustinFC player to lead the team in scoring during an MLS regular season. We go live with Austin at San Jose 8p CT / 6p PT on Alt 97.5 FM.

Great way to close out the #AustinFC regular season.

This also serves as a reminder: If your club hasn’t taken the time to do so yet, this weekend is its last chance to regress to the mean for the season.

It's that time of year for roommates Žan and Owen. Žan entered Saturday with 3 career assists in #AutinFC regular season home finales, including 2021 when Owen made his MLS debut. (Owen made his first start the next season in a win at LAFC.)

Painting the scenes for #AustinFC is even more fun when these are the people behind the scenes.

#AustinFC regular season home finales: 2021 W 3-1 vs. SKC 2022 T 1-1 vs. COL 2023 L 2-4 vs. LAFC 2024 W 3-2 vs. COL 2025 W 1-0 vs. LAFC

Update: - #AustinFC has scored first & is unbeaten in the last 4 MLS matches vs. LAFC -Ilie is 4-0 this year vs. his former MLS clubs. He's never lost against a former MLS employer (9-0-2t all comps). -Heading to San Jose this weekend, Austin is 6-1-1t against California teams (all comps) in 2025.

When the MLS schedule was unveiled, #AustinFC’s last guaranteed 2025 home match was slated for last weekend, with the potential of Q2 going silent until Feb. 2026. Instead, with re-scheduling, supporters gather again tonight with added knowledge that they will also reconvene for a home playoff game.

Some #AustinFC nuggets heading into tomorrow: -Austin has scored first in the last 3 MLS matches vs. LAFC -Ilie is 3-0 this year vs. his former MLS clubs. He has never lost against a former MLS employer (8-0-2t all comps). -Austin is 5-1-1t against California teams (all comps) in 2025.
