It's that time of year for roommates Žan and Owen. Žan entered Saturday with 3 career assists in #AutinFC regular season home finales, including 2021 when Owen made his MLS debut. (Owen made his first start the next season in a win at LAFC.)

When the MLS schedule was unveiled, #AustinFC’s last guaranteed 2025 home match was slated for last weekend, with the potential of Q2 going silent until Feb. 2026. Instead, with re-scheduling, supporters gather again tonight with added knowledge that they will also reconvene for a home playoff game.

We're guaranteed a few scattered @mndarkclouds.bsky.social at least once next year. And there is a world where they could even appear later this month.

Meanwhile, I might write something for MLS dot com. Who’s looking to buy or sell a stadium? Popular features include open-concept and lots of natural light. Be aware that air conditioning is not a given. Also, do some due diligence to see if there are any fans.

#20 Baylor continued its incredible form tonight, conceding just 3 goals through 11 matches this season (just one non-PK in the last ten contests). Third-straight 3-0 decision against a conference foe. Big test Sunday vs. a Colorado team that toppled #7 TCU in Fort Worth tonight 3-1. #Big12SOC
