From this week's @kickbacksoccer.bsky.social newsletter (sign up at kickbacksoccer.com) @susannahfuller.bsky.social's Bushwhacker recipe.

As a former student in the great city of Nashville, I must recommend you treat yourself to a Bushwhacker.

Clear your schedule for the next day, though.

@oneknoxsc.bsky.social closes out a 2-0 victory against its in-state rival to move top of #USL-1 on goal differential.

Somewhere, @susannahfuller.bsky.social is celebrating.

Nicholas Murray @njemurray.bsky.social · 7d

Meanwhile, we have a developing situation in #USL-1.

@oneknoxsc.bsky.social has a two-goal lead on Smokey Mountains Smackdown rival Chattanooga Red Wolves SC at the halftime break.

As it stands, One Knox would overtake the Red Wolves for top spot in the standings. Second half shortly on ESPN+.

Susannah Collins reflects on how she first started covering Nashville SC before they were even in MLS and how amazed she is to see the city blossom into a true soccer hotbed. Now based in Knoxville, she loves watching the game grow across Tennessee and seeing the sport take root in her home state ⚽💛

Elite soccer away day going to Omaha, NE for Union Omaha vs. One Knox yesterday.

Got to finally meet my @kickbacksoccer.bsky.social work mate and friend @susannahfuller.bsky.social in person, hung out with the @omahaparliament.org SG and saw a spicy game that was fun and peak USL League 1

After tearing up a ref’s notebook in a wild 2015 match vs Portland, Clint Dempsey was handed a 6-game USOC suspension (or 2 years, whichever was longer). Seattle didn’t play enough games to burn through it , and by the time Dempsey retired in 2018, the ban was technically still hanging over him 👀❌
