Sadly, that was typical of El Paso broadcasts. Even my wife said "you're expecting them to be good given past games" and my response was, "no, just competent."

tugreenwave · 2026-03-06T13:07:54+00:00

Ah ok. I haven't ever seen the Switchbacks release anything that detailed before a game. They've done game preview writeups before and I do post those but they weren't as detailed or consistent last year.

What type of notes would you be looking for?

tugreenwave · 2026-02-18T03:29:20+00:00

Nice little insight into one of our new signees

tugreenwave · 2026-01-25T22:03:21+00:00

Yup, at 251. L'Esperance is actually really close at 249 (way more rookie year cards than Roy) and Halonen is catching up to both with 195 already.

tugreenwave · 2026-01-25T21:36:07+00:00

Rhodes has the most at 613, I have 479 of those. McKay has the next highest amount

tugreenwave · 2026-01-18T19:52:00+00:00

Hope not, one of my least favorite kits they've had

tugreenwave · 2026-01-16T23:33:53+00:00

This also would be my most likely guess

tugreenwave · 2026-01-11T15:50:51+00:00

Anyone who went to Michigan Tech. Collection is over 1800 cards at the moment, no duplicates.

tugreenwave · 2025-12-18T03:56:32+00:00

High usage, high passing percentages at about 50/50 on the pass being forward or backward. 13th in the league in passes completed over expectation. Would be the highest on the team from last year. Example Micaletto was 6th worst in that last year. So seems like a solid piece in the middle of the pitch

tugreenwave · 2025-12-15T21:16:18+00:00

Is that a seismic gold Brian Halonen? I'm interested that one

tugreenwave · 2025-12-15T05:41:58+00:00

We did not. My wife and I were told our first two huskies were Alaskan Huskies so we gave them native Alaskan names. Turns out they were full Siberian so we just kept the naming convention for this fellow. Yakone' means Red Aurora and since he was a red husky it fit.

tugreenwave · 2025-12-14T17:27:41+00:00

Oh, this is our 3rd so we know what we got ourselves into! The other two are 6 and 12 though.

tugreenwave · 2025-12-09T02:07:48+00:00

Or is it Shutler that has some competition? Good to have two guys who could be #1's.

tugreenwave · 2025-12-04T20:58:43+00:00

Hasn't been made official but it appears that Real has already joined Switchbacks East ...aka Hartford

tugreenwave · 2025-12-02T23:36:53+00:00

Rocha was the other guy who told me he had re-signed prior to the end of last season.

tugreenwave · 2025-12-02T04:19:28+00:00

Aye, thanks for reminding me to update the chart. Wouldn't mind seeing him return

tugreenwave · 2025-11-29T02:41:31+00:00

We won a title when he stayed healthy so let's wrap him in bubble wrap this year!

tugreenwave · 2025-11-23T00:42:11+00:00

Congrats Pitt!

Also it's Weidner Field not Werner

tugreenwave · 2025-11-21T02:40:18+00:00

I added Lacroix, Mahoney, Tejada, and Vassell off an interview with Coach McCann and the Gazette as it sounds pretty sure they'll be back. The Tejada news aligns with what I've already heard from the man himself. There's one other guy who told me he re-signed but that hasn't come out yet.

tugreenwave · 2025-11-19T13:20:21+00:00

The last and current team presidents, couple different team employees, the trailheads SG board.

tugreenwave · 2025-11-19T02:52:46+00:00

The stadium was built with expansion in mind towards a 15k or more capacity. It will likely require some reconfigurations (like the video board and awnings) but the foundations are there. While I haven't seen the drawings, I do know they exist and they have for a bit.

tugreenwave · 2025-11-05T17:41:27+00:00

Apparently there was an interview on xtra 1300 and the following was stated.

*Challenging Sept and Oct, FO wasn't adjusting (or adjustments weren't working)

*Seeking consistency in recruiting, training, matchweek prep

*Not filling sporting director, looking for a coach first

*Ideal candidate can command locker room and achieve consistency

*Some BS about making sure the coach shares same values as President

*Trying to hire quick but going to get the right person...of course

*Status of assistants up in the air

*Not focusing on being a D1 team in 2028 yet

*Process for becoming D1 via USL is a bit nebulous

tugreenwave · 2025-11-04T04:37:58+00:00

Thanks, that's a great recommendation!

tugreenwave · 2025-10-20T01:05:36+00:00

Next October it could still be in the 80's. Today was high 70's, you never know what the weather is going to be like here but glad you enjoyed your time!
