This is awesome, but I’m also very upset I hadn’t thought of this term for any of the Union Omaha stuff.

I suggest $4.25 in honor of the Hog and Lateral vs. Ole Miss (add a “3” at the beginning or end if you want to donate more and remember Alex Collins)

Let's get the whole SEC on the board! May we suggest a $21.20 or $20.19 for Mississippi State in memory of the 2019 Egg Bowl which they won because Elijah Moore did the dog pee celebration? For the Cocks, perhaps $17.14 for the 2024 Clemson win, or a vintage $19.69 for your ACC title that year?

Penguin’s traveling, so of course I’m having an airport beer. A review: Airport: Denver Bar: Great Divide Brewing Co. (C terminal) Beer: Samurai Japanese Lager ABV: 5.0% Served: Draft Overall: 4/5 Billed as a dry lager brewed with jasmine rice trying to give it a fresh, floral flavor 1/2

Once upon a time in Minneapolis... 👉 mplscitysc.com/atmosphere/

It's like DC can hear us.

Not me crying because that could've been us last night against Colorado...😩

Damn...I didn't need God to hit me in the face with my "History over Profits" scarf that quickly... Well played. F$$k ML$. Up the USL 1!

@krzonca.bsky.social knows I love her, but this is the part where Penguins get into the "money or solidarity" discussion. On the one hand, F$$k ML$. On the other hand, if all the third-tier teams lose (before PKs), there's prize money on the line. Tough choices. I wonder what the Pope would do. 🤔

Ok, so the actual broadcast crew got it right.

F$$king hell @paramountplus.com it’s “Boudadi”.

@608soccer.bsky.social calling out Cole Jensen earlier. Guess we gonna find out. (I’m betting on Cole).

FFFFFFF.... Thanks for the reminder. I'd forgotten about that.

With the exception of playoffs (or times where someone must advance), there should never be an overtime. America needs to get comfortable with ties/draws in their sports.

I’d eat any of them gladly, but the Detroit Dog is my first among equals here.

I love that it’s Hoot living pants-less and rent-free in Luke’s head.

I know in USL 1 we have to deal with multiple sports’ line markings on some pitches. But having two sets of soccer lines at Westchester is especially annoying me.

More pleasant things! Save of the Week nominees are up and Cole Jensen's double save is one of them! Voting is good. www.uslleagueone.com/news_article...

If my totals are right, @unionomaha.bsky.social now has a full baseball season worth of USL 1 regular season matches. If you take their point percentage of .599 (since baseball doesn't do draws), their equivalent record is 97-65. That's playoffs at least the last 5 years and usually division winner.

Happy National Beer Day! Shout out to our friends over at Pint Nine and their AMAZING Búho Brew! 🦉 Head on over to Pint Nine and snag some today to celebrate! 🎉

This has the same feel as all those years when ESPN and other networks would do the betting spreads “for entertainment purposes only”. Even then, we all knew what it really was.

Cole Jensen’s 7 saves last night almost tripled our season total to 11. The last time @unionomaha.bsky.social had 7+ saves in a match Rashid Nuhu saved 8 in a 0-0 draw at Greenville on 10/11/25 The last time it was done in a win was 8/9/24 when Wallis Lapsley saved 7 in a 1-0 win at CV Fuego.

An interesting bit of rotation tonight to take on AV Alta.

Hey! It’s GAME DAAAAAAY! We’ve got a watch party at Cunningham’s— join us for some League One After Dark!

If my count is correct, tonight’s match at AV Alta is @unionomaha.bsky.social 200th competitive match (includes league playoffs).

Considering I missed the only penalty I ever took, I get it’s not a guaranteed goal. But this shouldn’t count as a hat trick. I also think that the person who earns the penalty should be who has to take the penalty. I know I’m weird.

Probably coming in late, but I hate that my first thought on hearing Bondi got fired was thinking I saw a Polymarket bet that she'd be gone by 3/31, then thinking about who would have profited from holding out a couple days. I don't know there was a bet, but that there probably was upsets me a lot.

Yep. Those guys always know.

Per AV Alta’s (pretty dramatic) IG announcement two hours ago, Captain Miguel Pajaro’s red card vs. Red Wolves was rescinded. He will apparently be able to play this weekend vs. Union Omaha. Side note: Can’t find that on the USL 1 site. Really frustrating there’s no release/explanation from them.

Someone gotta try this. Baby Yoda Driver. Million Dollar Baby Yoda. Cry Baby Yoda. Really looking forward to Rosemary’s Baby Yoda.

The amount of work that goes on to collect and report this weird and wonderful competition is amazing, as is the cumulative knowledge of soccer in America associated with this group. Please consider joining, and keep that beautiful Cup Coverage going!

Wait…didn’t we see this graphic last round. And for Team of the Week this week…🤔 Well deserved, Sam!

You can not convince me that Sam Owusu is a Center Back.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, let us state plainly: Our trans family isn't going anywhere and we will ALWAYS have their back. Today more than ever, trans visibility, and the visibility of those who unconditionally support our trans family, is essential. We love you, we will be here for you.

A game winning goal last match. A brace in the last US Open Cup round. And he’s a solid defender! Is that enough to put him in tonight’s XI in Indy? Let me know who you think starts.

Tomorrow live on Twitch and YouTube!! We got some special guest to fill in for @thatguyyogi.bsky.social who is on his best behavior as we speak

Closing out National Athletic Trainers Month with a shoutout to the best, Casey O’Leary Thank you for everything you do each day! 🦘

So, I need you to watch Oakland Roots goalkeeper Raphael Spiegel (blue) here. He's up for a late free kick, but when it goes awry he heads behind the goal and get a second ball to punt onto the field. Eventually, after Tommy McCabe's goal line clearance, he gets sent off. #USL-C

If my count is correct, today’s victory was @unionomaha.bsky.social 100th across all competitions and playoffs. (Advancing on penalties does not count as a win for these purposes).

Can’t make it to the match today 😭 But I’ll still give my XI predictions: Nuhu Jiba Kallman Owusu Boudadi Knapp Caceres Billhardt Wootton Gutierrez Botello Faz Bench: Jensen Lawrence Ors Navarro Tekiela Borczak Guediri Malone (I’ll be right eventually)

Chef Bawn is cooking and we’re ready to go! Join us out at Morrison from now until 3pm!

Another windy day in Omaha for Los Búhos. Sweaters might be appropriate as we welcome Corpus Christi FC, but who will be doffing their pre-match tops to kick us off today? Leave your Starting XI predictions below!

Price increase aside, this is how I found out that Barry Bonds was doing studio analysis. I remember hearing that he and the media didn’t get along that well in his playing days, so I’m genuinely curious how he is on the show. (Not curious enough to pay more to see it, but still curious)

Be good to see him back on the air here. And maybe at a couple of Union Omaha matches (I might know where a spare Supporters Section ticket or two can be found…)

Knew it had to be something like that. But as omens go…
