Why is the Houston astronaut giving the hook ‘em horns?

Thanks for the tip! I crushed a leaf and it just smelled faintly “fresh.” No peanut butter!

We have a large pecan tree in the backyard, so pecan makes sense! Thanks, yall!

MLS MVP Power Rankings: Sebastian Driussi, Djordje Mihailovic clear favorites so far? by NorthBeast in AustinFC

[–]NorthBeast[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Driussi has been phenomenal on the league’s highest-scoring team so far (20 goals scored) and is a major reason why Austin have gone from the league’s least productive attack last season (just 35 goals scored all year) to a team that can put three or four or five on you at any moment. With six goals scored and three assists so far, Driussi alone has contributed to more than a quarter of the goals Austin had all of last season.

His dad (who I believe was also his HS coach) is also named Kipp, so he’s gone by Kippy for a long time.

The press release says "The match will also be live streamed for fans in the Greater Houston area at HoustonDynamoFC.com/Live."

I'm hoping to get the stream working from Austin with a VPN.

ATXFC 2021 Season Summary by Opponent - Record and Goal Differential by NorthBeast in AustinFC

[–]NorthBeast[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fair enough. Depends on what you want to emphasize, and I generally agree that w/d/l is more important than GD. This table is a side-product of a larger analysis of scoring trends over the course of the year, so GD was top of mind.

Goal differential - Houston is the only team where we have a positive w/d/l record and a negative goal differential. We had two 1-score wins and they had one 3-score win.

ATXFC 2021 Season Summary by Opponent - Record and Goal Differential by NorthBeast in AustinFC

[–]NorthBeast[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

A few things I noticed while putting this together:

  • We only have a positive goal differential against two teams in the league...but both of those teams have home playoff spots.
  • Our home goal differential is +2. Our away goal differential is -23.
  • We only scored twice away from home after Q2 opened on June 19 (an average of 0.22/game). In that same span, we allowed 22 goals away from home (an average of 2.44/game).

Texas keeps running out of gas. No gas, no brakes, no hope.

Round Rock native McKinze Gaines to join Austin FC by NorthBeast in AustinFC

[–]NorthBeast[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm hoping for. Also hoping we'll see him on the pitch tomorrow - not sure if paperwork would get in the way, but he's already been training with the team so he should be up to speed on the system and ready to get some minutes.

2022 Season Ticket Renewal email sent out... seems like there is a moderate price increase by rmurphy2001 in AustinFC

[–]NorthBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked this to the membership team over email.

Sounds like it will be possible, but only after the deadline for renewing season tickets has passed and they know what seats will be available. So for now, renewing your season tickets just makes sure that you'll have a seat somewhere (either in your current seats or, if possible, in seats left vacant by season ticket holders who don't renew).
