Terry Boss

BREAKING: Davy wll miss tonight for family emergency. Terry Boss will lead. TB rejoined #AustinFC staff this summer after leading Lexington SC (USL). Led Oregon St. before joining the 2021 Austin staff. His only MLS appearance (GK) was for Seattle 2010 vs. FC Dallas in Frisco, only conceding a PK.

The only result for #AusinFC in seven all-time trips to Frisco was a 1-1 comeback draw that secured Austin's first MLS Copa Tejas. The acting head coach for Austin that night was Davy Arnaud.

If you are planning to watch the Texas/UTSA football game, remember it is on SECN+, not a standard cable channel. You do have access to SECN+ in the ESPN app if your TV provider has SEC Network. It has NOTHING to do with whether you have ESPN+.

FWIW, based on my recollection of a similar instance in the past, I anticipate Biro is suspended just for the indirect red card in Vancouver and will continue to be one yellow shy of a suspension for accumulation. #AustinFC

#AustinFC elected to fully maximize the GAM conversion rule in its recent trade with SKC. The Club will therefore receive an additional $3 million on 9/30, bringing its total amount of available GAM to $4,970,454.

Since the start of Leagues Cup, #AustinFC is 5-2-4t in its last 11 matches (all competitions). The team was 4-10-5t in its first 19 matches.

-Pretty cool that the venue casts a shadow that resembles the Japanese flag 🇯🇵 behind Takaoka’s goal. -Vancouver is the only team in the West #AustinFC has yet to face. -It’s Thomas Müller’s 37th birthday. He out injured and has yet to face Austin.

#AustinFC’s current road winning streak is on the back of two wins in the PNW/Cascadia. In fact, Austin is 3-0-0t this season vs. Cascadia teams but has never won in Vancouver (0-4-1t). Only win ever was April 2022 in ATX). The top team in the West hosts upset-minded ATX 5:30pm CT on Alt 97.5 FM.

ICYMI, Whitecaps have an Austin native on their roster. Niko Djordjevic is a Westwood HS grad who played for SMU and was drafted last year by Vancouver. After playing for VWFC2 last year, he has made 6 MLS appearances this season. #AustinFC

Niko’s online profile.

Pro-tip: Now that #AustinFC has a second distinct color that may leave you guessing what to wear on match day, the club is very diligent updating its social media and online profiles to reflect its upcoming uniform choice. (Now we just need to get 20,738 violet seat covers.)

Violet profiles for IG, FB, X, and YouTube.

Got rid of Facebook app years ago. Now Instagram wants to woo me back to the FB app by showing me some of the overwhelmingly fake/misleading news I am missing out on from disingenuous pages they refuse to regulate. (There are obviously far worse accounts on FB.)
