    They still haven't. This is deposits.

    Taking a deposit is not going on sale.

    Wait... you think these are ticket sales? And that Tony Shitchin has broken a record for ticket sales? That’s what you actually believe?

    Holy Christ, you’re dumber than the shitstain on your dad’s boxers.....

    This is disgusting, shameful behavior, Bill.

    You aren't going to call him a cumdumpster?

    Oh, never mind. People actually have sex with those.

    I think it’s just that his head is way too small.

    I think the takeaway here is TB's new styling choice.

    Possibly on the advice of Elizabeth Christian PR, which seems to be running everything down there, TB has appeared at events and posted other pics recently that all show him wearing a sport coat over an Austin FC t shirt.

    Now it's true that "slob" is the style of choice in Austin. Compare, for example, the photos of the announcement in Columbus where everyone from Bez and Dee and JW and Garber are wearing shirts and ties (or in Dee's case a really smashing and elegant suit) with the announcement ten days or so later in Austin where it's surprising everybody is wearing pants.

    Now before you say anything yes, I get it. Ties are so Don Draper now. But if you're going to say that you then have to explain the puffy jacket (surely Patagonia) that Fatface McShitbags is wearing. What's up with that?Cold day in Austin?

    Be all of that as it may - and I'm fully prepared to admit to being a bit stodgy about business attire and there's nothing really wrong with just a nice dress shirt and a jacket if business casual is your culture - a t shirt and jacket means you think you're pretty Hollywood, CA. And TB ain't even Hollywood FL.

    He works so hard at being young and hip, and all he really is is a ridiculous poseur whose Mother dresses him funny.

    Closing question: if all the hipsters in Austin were suddenly converted into zombies, how would you know the difference?

    Quick scroll through AustinFC's twitter and it's weeks before you get to any mention of Jay Jr. They're hiding him as the face of the team which is smart.

    Probably a combination of factors: a) he'd have to actually be there once in awhile and he lives in San Francisco and plans on keeping it that way and b) ECPR keeps a tight leash on him due to how stupid he is.

    I just love this picture. Curly, Moe and Larry.

    [​IMG]

    Thing is, what these guys are wearing is so telling.

    Adler showed up wearing a suit and tie. Seeing that Garber was in a sportcoat and open collar, he pulled off the tie, but he's going to put it backon when he leaves.

    Garber dressed down for the occasion. He wore a suit but he wants you to know he's hip and modern and cool, so he pulled on a sweater vest - probably the only such item in all of Austin - which might be the most UNcool thing he could have done. Better to show up in a tuxedo than look like everybody's weird Uncle who just came for Thanksgiving dinner.

    And then there's Shitbags wearing what I'm 95% certain is a Patagonia jacket (otherwise it's a knockoff, and he'd never be caught wearing a cheap Chinese copy) and Dad jeans. He wants so much to be a cool kid. Still, I wonder if, say, Arthur Blank or Carl Lindner show up for media events looking like they are on the way to BW3 for drafts and wings.

    The funniest thing though is what Garber is NOT wearing, ie. a team scarf. You will look in vain for a team announcement picture of him without one,ever, UNTIL just a few days before this when he was in Columbus. He was very conspicuous as the only person on the podium not wearing one. He hates the Crew, everybody knows it, and he'd just look ridiculous wearing a scarf from a team he's been trying desperately to kill for 2 or 3 years.

    So he shows up in Austin and he's got a problem: he can't put on an Austin FC scarf because it makes it even more obvious why he didn't wear one in Columbus.

    I just love thispic.

    Here's an idea on numbers:


    Not official, mind you, but the first piece of data we've seen.

    Why would they take 30k season ticket deposits when there will not be close to 30,000 seats in the new stadium? Because lots of the deposits are illusory?

    Repped for this.
    As I watched the official announcement press conference a few months back, I made it a point to watch (apart from the dour, cconstipated facial expressions) if Dickbag Don would put on a Crew scarf or not. I was angry, but not in the least bit surprised, that he did not.
    I made it a similar point to observe what he did in Asstown. No scarf. And he always wears scarves at big announcements.
    Kind of amusing, in a way.

    I would like to strongly encourage Precourt to build a 40,000 seater instead of the current plan. Maybe even 50K.
