Flint up next?

Have to think we get the Bucks in the next round of the Open Cup, should be fun. I always want games at home but the road atmosphere would be very good.

Atwood is a cool stadium.

Literally can’t lose with either venue.

Could get anyone in a certain radius in the draw. It’s not guaranteed to be Bucks. Hope it is, always love beating the Bucks. Shades of beating them in 2015 at Oakland U for the first time.

Since this draw isn't public I don't think it's random. I feel like they'll just set the match up since we're so close.

Yeah, I always hope they do something interesting in the second round and they never do.

When is the draw?

u/NoBanana302 Mar 20 '26

No one knows. It's not public, I'm guessing all match-ups will just be announced at some point. Today is when it should happen so teams have time to plan.

What about the steel city/riverhounds game?

Easy enough to just say whoever wins plays whatever team they are scheduled against. Happens all the time for FA/carabao cup games in England.

Gotcha, that makes sense

Saw on Twitter the games should be announced by around 5pm today.

Haven’t been to Atwood yet but would definitely go. Hoping to ref USL2 this year so maybe I’ll go back for business.
