    Digging into the Wiki, it's a negative. I still hold out hope though that a USL side will have beaten more MLS sides from Texas than Austin will this year.


    The team that accumulates the most points during the regular USL season, excluding possible U.S. Open Cup match ups and league playoffs, will be awarded the trophy at the conclusion of the league season

    I have no idea how we wound up in a group with Knoxville and Richmond, but winning 2 games on the road is always going to be tough, no matter who the opposition is.

    Ahahaah, Louisville knocked Austin out of THE CUP!

    And Crew Legend JJ Wiliams ties it up at the death to force New England into extra time.

    Two Cupsets, a PK shootout (NE keeper was solid but Rhode Island needs to work on their PKs), a golfest in New York, and Sacramento even with Minnesota going into the final 15 minutes. Great night to be watching THE CUP!

    If only someone had taken the time to link to this thread in the other one. In the first post. Alas.

    CUPSET!


    It'll be a home game vs One Knoxville on 4/28 or 4/29, but probably 4/29.

    I hope we don’t go to penalties against One Knoxville. They looked good on their penalty takes. And their goalie saved one, and almost another.

    There's Clippers home games at 6:15 on both possible home dates.

    Yeah, the Crew game should...will...get more people, but given typical USOC attendance, what are the guesses on the attendance difference between the two teams?

    Are we sure we host? I swear when draw came out it had us as lowest hosting priority of the 4.

    We were, but One Knox’s stadium isn’t available due to the baseball team

    There’s a new draw after the round of 16. So that bracket is not necessarily correct.

    Seems like a reasonable price for tickets.

    Looks like the whole stadium is listed as General Admission, though I wonder if most of it will be closed off, and we'll only be able to sit in the Nordecke or on the lower east side.

    It would be nice if enough people showed up that they had to open more of the stadium.

    Indeed.

    Indeed it would. The logical solution would be to start with the lower part of the Nordecke (expand as necessary) and the lower east. If needed, then go into the lower south.

    Now watch them put everyone on the lower west.

    Isn’t that what they did last year (was it last year?) vs Lexington?
