Rewatching the #AFCOmaha v @linomafc.bsky.social match and just heard the broadcasters call it the “Saddle Creek Derby”. What do we think of that, oh Omaha Lower-League Sickos? 🤔

Lineups on the field, anthem is sung. It’s almost kickoff time for #AFCOmaha against @linomafc.bsky.social. @midwestpl.bsky.social

@braejohn30.bsky.social checks in with a quick recap on the @linomafc.bsky.social win over Warrior FC yesterday in @midwestpl.bsky.social action! open.substack.com/pub/omahaclu...

This is an interesting development, but if done properly could be really exciting for lower league soccer.

Now that @linomafc.bsky.social and #AFCOmaha have started their @midwestpl.bsky.social seasons in earnest, the tough questions begin. Such as: With two weeks until both meet at Morrison, we need a good Derby name for them. Something better than “Dodge Street Derby II”. Thoughts? 🤔
