After last night's Powerball drawing, I can safely say that I'm Rich....but I'm still not.

What's not to love here? Tune in and hear our new Sporting Director chat with the great people at @soccerdownhere.bsky.social!

A draw that feels like a win. - Totally a red card, but Konsa saved the match in that moment. - That single ball system worked out just fine, especially after the red. Thanks, Premier League!

Pretty much all Newcastle. Some good moments from the Villans, but plenty of changes needed in the second half. Regardless, it’s so nice to have them back. Great start to the day! UTV

Happy Semis, @dci.bsky.social! Watching the Blue Knights and Phantom Regiment made me a VERY happy alum last night. To all of the performers (last night and tonight) have a great show, throw down, and make memories! I'm looking forward to performing next year (PR's Alumni Corps)! 😎

Congratulations to @linomafc.bsky.social! Such a great achievement in your first season. I love that they never strayed from finding ways to help the community in multiple ways as the season wore on. Great success on the pitch and a class act off of it. Well deserved and well done!

I’ve never experienced disc golf inside a baseball stadium, but I can happily check off that experience. Such a fun time and now I’m itching to get back on the course again soon!

I’m wearing the 2023 Union Omaha Pride Kit today and I can’t wait to wear this one, too. Beautiful design and I love that the proceeds go to such a great community resource.

🙄

Happy Decision Day!

CAN'T WAIT! - Get in the gate for a cheap price - Concessions for a cheap price - Battle for the Belt - Post-match mini set from a local music legend and so much more! Grab your friends and be at Werner Park for this one!

One match to go and a possible return to UEFA Champions League on the line. On Sunday, May 25th, I'm locking myself in a room because no one needs to see me in such a state of anxiousness. UP THE VILLA!!!

Fan of the kit and a fan of the cause. Can't wait to have matching outfits with a bunch of people in the near future. Go get one!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there!

The Villans are Europe-bound once again! Which competition? No one knows just yet, but the race is getting tighter and the points matter more and more. Two more to go! UP THE VILLA!

So happy to see the way the team has finished the season! At one point, they were flirting with relegation, but five straight wins and they finished 6th. Some big departures are on the way, but I'm already excited for next season. UP THE VILLA!

☑️ @imrichbutimnot.bsky.social 🏆 St. Louis City SC (MLS) vs Union Omaha (USLL1) 🗓️ 05/07, 5:00pm PT / 8:00pm ET 🏟️ Energizer Park in St Louis, MO ▫️ “Alright, who ordered up a Cupset with a side of redemption? Union Omaha returns to St. Louis for US Open Cup action with hungry eyes. Put aside the 5-1…”

"If it's not for the fans, we wouldn't be as good as we are or have been through these years." - Dion Acoff Gotta love when a player truly loves the fanbase, recognizes their commitment to the club and takes time during an interview to put them in the spotlight. ¡Viva Búhos!

Hammer becomes nail. 😎 Up The Villa!

I feel like I’m back in 1998, watching the MLB Home Run Race, except it’s soccer. Whether it’s UCL, EPL, USL1, WSL, UWCL, it’s insane how many matches have had inflated scorelines. Can we have defense back, please?

Back-and-forth first half. They’re hitting that right side of the pitch over and over, but the Hammers are countering as soon as they gain possession. It’ll be interesting to see what adjustments are made on both sides. Up The Villa!

Omaha Union. Seriously?! 🤔 Please reference the media notes for club name and pronunciation guides.

These three points mean a lot, so now it’s time to focus on Bournemouth. Credit to Fulham for all of their disrupting play, which made life difficult. Villa easily could’ve (and should’ve) added more, but take the win, rest, recover and prepare. Up the Villa!

On this day 6 years ago, I was managing a health clinic, reading the announcement and looking at my budget to make sure I could be a season ticket holder from Day One. I’m thankful for so many things and one of them is this club.

Just can’t beat Palace. This will be five straight matches without a Villa win over Palace. Outside chance of a return to Europe, too. *heavy sigh*

If the league creates a new award for best celebration, Russell Shealy has it locked up!

Happy birthday, Mechack Jérôme! You’re an inspiration to so many @unionomaha.bsky.social fans and players. Can’t wait to see you again. Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Difficult second half, but it ended on a high note. Great effort to capture three points and gain a greater sense of safety from relegation. UP THE VILLA!

Good half. Pro: Defense looks super composed. Con: Not climbing the ladder quick enough and encouraging TOT to press high, potentially force turnovers in their attacking third. Missy is single-handedly holding the midfield together. Great work from her!

Massive, MASSIVE win! So proud of the guys for putting Champions League behind them and rising to the occasion. UP THE VILLA

Great half of action from both sides! Villa’s long passes and flick-ons are lookin’ good, but they gotta mix it up and attack the right side, as well. Crucial 45 coming up!

HUGE match on the way! There’s no hotter team in the PL than Newcastle. Gotta get three points and get closer to another season of European play. Let’s go! UP THE VILLA!!!

We may, or may not, have a deep dive on the Open Cup in tonight's episode. 😉

If you haven't left for Valley Stadium, there's still time! Get there and enjoy a GREAT match tonight. Two great fanbases, plenty of recognizable faces across both rosters and what should be a very competitive match. Let's have some fun!

- Just got out-hustled - They wanted it more - Just didn't execute out there - Just couldn't hit my shots when it counted - Ready to move on to the next game - Couple of bounces go my way and it's a different scoreboard - Didn't have it this past weekend Don't you dare give me that Wooden Spoon yet

20 years ago, on this day, The Office debuted. I love that show so much! I’m pretty sure I’m responsible for a good number of the rewatches and overall streaming numbers. Here’s a photo from last fall, when my team got 2nd place by 1 point at The Office Trivia Night. Pure joy!

I can’t stop watching it. True magician at work here. Don’t worry, he’s just getting started, too.

Only down one. Still plenty of time to don the crown. Gonna need every point I can get if I’m competing with Bryan and fans of the pod! Should be a fun competition.

So excited to get back behind the mic, share some fun storylines, stats and talk all things USL League One. Throw in a question, join the live chat and let’s have some fun!

Whoops! We had a double @unionomaha.bsky.social birthday yesterday. Happy belated birthday, Tyler David! The former CM spent the 2020 season in Omaha. 2020 USL League One Finalist 9 starts in 13 appearances Saw him at the 2021 Final and chatted briefly before the full time whistle.

Week 1 with @Unionomaha.bsky.social: ✅ BIG thank you to @UnionOmahaCEO.bsky.social, Martie & Alexis for this dream opportunity! Búhos Nation, please know how much this means to me & how much it means to inform you, entertain you and highlight YOUR club. ¡Viva Búhos! #OneMeansAll

I can finally breathe again. Haha! Good match. Would’ve loved to see McGinn push higher and Maatsen get involved more, but ending this match with three points? No complaints from me. UP THE VILLA!!!!

Club Brugge in the Round of 16 Rematch from the League Phase. I like this draw, especially with the additions from the Transfer Window. UTV!

Such a fun game. The result didn’t go our way, but that’s one that’ll deserve a rewatch or ten. Pure entertainment from start to finish.

What a wild third period! Open play, plenty of close calls for both sides and there’s plenty of heart out there. Can’t help but feel like the healthier Canada has the edge with each extension of the game. So fun to watch! More whiskey, please!
