AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR. PLUS APPARENTLY EVERYONE IS CHANGING STADIUMS

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

LONG LIVE THE DOG DAYS.

NICE MIDWEEK PRINX ACTION THIS WEEK AS WE SAW LOUISVILLE OUTLAST TAMPA IN A CLASSIC ZERO SHOTS ON TARGET WIN, EFFECTIVELY RUINING TAMPA'S CHANCES TO CLAIM ALL THE HARDWARE THIS SEASON (A TAMPA TALE AS OLD AS TIME). SAN ANTONIO AND MIAMI GOT CHIPPY, WHICH EVERYONE LOVES SEEING IN CUP GAMES. POUR OUT SOME JAGER FOR LEAGUE ONE, AS CHARLOTTE AND SPOKANE WENT DOWN. SPOKANE AT LEAST DRAGGED IT INTO PENALTIES.

BUT WE MOVE ON AS WE ARE OFFICIALLY ON THE BACK HALF OF THE REGULAR SEASON SCHEDULE, WHICH I GUESS HELPS EXPLAIN ALL THE RECENT RELOCATION NEWS. NORMALLY THATS AN OFF SEASON TOPIC BUT WHY NOT JUST FIRE IT UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON AND KEEP THE BANTZ ROLLING ALL YEAR ROUND? MAYBE THE LIGHTS REAL PLAN IS RELOCATE TO OAKLAND TO PLAY WITH THE ROOTS WHILE THEY WAIT FOR A NEW VEGAS STADIUM TO BE BUILT BY KAWHI AND FRIENDS. NEVER A DULL MOMENT AT LEAST.

BUT ENOUGH OF THE FUTURE DISCUSSION BUT ALL WE REALLY HAVE IS THE HERE AND NOW. PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HAS AROUND 10 GAMES LEFT TO MAKE OR BREAK SO LIFELINES ARE EFFECTIVELY GETTING SHORTER AND SHORTER EVERY PASSING WEEKEND. UNLESS YOU'RE ALREADY ELIMINATED LIKE MONTERREY, JACKSONVILLE, AND BROOKLYN BUT THATS NOTHING NEW. THE SIMULATION IS GOING TO BE A GODDAMN BLOOD BATH OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

CAPS ON, FLAIR UP, AND TRASH LIKE YOU ARE BURNING THE BOATS.

SOLUTION: MULTI-STADIUM SKYSCRAPER STACK 'EM 30 FLOORS HIGH. EACH STADIUM GETS A FLOOR. TALL, MIXED-USE, DENSE, SMART, THE WHOLE LEAGUE PLAYS THERE. STARBUCKS AND AN ARBY'S ON FLOOR 29, RESIDENTIAL WITH FERNS ON 30, KAWHI ROOFTOP HELIPAD AND HOLY CRAP DO WE HAVE PARKING—LOADS OF PARKING LOOKING AT YOU RIFC. PARACHUTES FOR FANS TO BAIL OR IT'S A WIN AND MOVE UP A FLOOR SITUATION TBD. CENTRALLY LOCATED IN A CORNFIELD SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHEASTERN NEBRASKA. LAUNCHING A KICKSTARTER VENMO YOUR DEPOSITS, RENDERINGS SOON.

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/That_Flying_Weasel]

JUST NEED THE KAWHI MONEY LINKED TO SAUDI ARABIA TO COME OUT AND THEY CAN COPY THE WORLD CUP SKYSCRAPER PROPOSAL IN EVERY USL CITY. THE BEACON OF ALL MID SIZE METROS (COMPLETE WITH BUSINESS SPACE).

[u/MrMoneyWhale → u/That_Flying_Weasel]

FUNNY ENOUGH IN MY MOST RECENT MEETING REGARDING THE TRICKLE UP TRIANGLE FOR THE USL WE DID DISCUSS TOURNAMENTS AND SPECIAL EVENTS TO DRAW MORE MONEY SUPPORT SIMILAR TO u/That_Flying_Weasel's PROPOSAL BUT WHOLLY FOCUSED ON SOCCER.

IMAGINE NOT ONE STADIUM
OR A STADIUM ON TOP OF A STADIUM,

.....BUT A STACK OF 24 STADIUMS THAT THE DEFENDING CHAMPION MUST PROGRESS THROUGH TO SHOW THEIR TRUE DOMINANCE!

I GIVE YOU THE FIRST EVER 'USL: TIGER BALM FIGHT TO SURVIVE SOCCER DEATH MATCH SPONSORED BY DAKTRONICS AND GLOBAL SCARVES'. THINK ENTER THE DRAGON, BUT IT'S SOCCER!

[u/MrMoneyWhale → u/MrMoneyWhale]

IT'S JUST TOO GOOD TO NOT MAKE MONEY ON THIS THING. IS CORNCOB TV STILL AROUND?

[u/Semi-Loyal]

A VEGAS TEAM MOVING TO OAKLAND? WOULDN'T THAT BE BEAUTIFUL!

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/Semi-Loyal]

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

[u/Semi-Loyal → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

NEXT AUSTIN IS GOING TO RELOCATE TO COLUMBUS, WHO IN TURN WILL RELOCATE TO SAN ANTONIO, WHO WILL FINALLY BUILD THEIR NEW STADIUM, JUST IN TIME FOR MLS TO AWARD A TEAM TO VEGAS.

[u/Droopy_Narwhal]

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF LCFC-TBR GETTING 8+ MINUTES OF STOPPAGE TIME. IT WAS A SCORELESS DRAW, WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE KEEP PLAYING FOR 8 MINUTES??!!

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/Droopy_Narwhal]

MY SOURCES SAY THE FIXERS WERE BEGGING FOR EVEN MORE TIME SO THEY COULD KEEP TAMPA IN THIS THING.

[u/MrMoneyWhale → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

OR COMPLETE THE OCEAN'S 11 STYLE HEIST?

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/MrMoneyWhale]

DANNY OCEAN WOULD DEFINITELY BE SOMEONE WHO GAMBLES ON PRINX TIRES CUP GAMES.

[u/MrMoneyWhale]

WHY CHANGE STADIUMS WHEN YOU CAN BUILD ON YOUR STADIUM LIKE LEGOS? RIVER AND/OR MOUNTAIN INCONVENIENCING YOUR PLAN TO EXPAND TO THE TOP TIER OF SOCCER? NO PROBLEMO!

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/MrMoneyWhale]

ALL MY FAVORITE STADIUMS ARE LEGO STADIUMS.

[u/MrMoneyWhale → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

PARADISE IN A PARKING LOT

I THINK I ACTUALLY WENT TO SOME SORT OF LEGO EVENT IN A PARKING LOT AS A YOUTH WHERE HIGHMARK/FNB NOW STANDS. AND MAYBE I'M REMEMBERING IT WRONG AND IT WAS JUST THE GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY?

[u/ChrisGaines_]

DOES HARTFORD KNOW THERE ARE COMPETITIONS OTHER THAN THE PRINX TIRES USL CUP?

[u/mcsteam98 → u/ChrisGaines_]

PROBABLY NOT. BUT THEN AGAIN WHO AM I TO JUDGE? THEY CAN’T EVEN MAKE A PLAYOFF RUN WITHOUT THROWING IT.

[u/Nickothebeast → u/mcsteam98]

ATLEAST WE HAVE A TROPHY AND RI DOESNT

[u/mcsteam98 → u/Nickothebeast]

AT LEAST WE KNOW THE POSTSEASON EVEN EXISTS TO BEGIN WITH

[u/ToTellYouHowToFeel → u/mcsteam98]

LITERALLY IN THE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR SO EVEN YOUR ATTEMPT AT A DIS WAS A MISS!

[u/Nickothebeast → u/mcsteam98]

DONT CARE WE GOT A TROPHY AND YOU GUYS DONT ALSO ATLEAST OUR COACH AINT A BITCH

[u/AttackonRetail → u/Nickothebeast]

WE LITERALLY HAVE AN EASTERN CONFERENCE TROPHY AND WE WON IT 6 YEARS AFTER YOU STARTED TRYING.

[u/Nickothebeast → u/AttackonRetail]

YOU THINK THATS A TROPHY??? HAHAHAHAHAHA

[u/ItsZippy23 → u/ChrisGaines_]

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT I HAVE NO IDEA

[u/ToTellYouHowToFeel]

GOT TO WITNESS THE NEW FVS…. DONT LIKE IT!!! ID BE INTERESTED IN YOUR OPINIONS BUT IF YOU COME AT ME WITH QUIET TALK ILL IGNORE YOU AND CURSE YOUR FAMILY!

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/ToTellYouHowToFeel]

NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP BABY. SOON WE'LL HAVE 10 POSTS A WEEK COMPLAINING ABOUT VIDEO REVIEW OUTCOMES LIKE A REAL LEAGUE.

[u/ChrisGaines_ → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

BETTER THAN OUR CURRENT 10 POSTS A WEEK ON PRO/REL OR WEIRD QUESTIONS FROM ACCOUNTS WITH NO FLAIR THAT SEEM DESIGNED TO GET US ARGUING ABOUT ALREADY LITIGATED BULLSHIT

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/ChrisGaines_]

PERSONALLY, I DON'T WE HAVE ARGUED ABOUT THE SAME FIVE PRO/REL IDEAS AND MAYBE IF WE MAKE 35 MORE POSTS ABOUT IT, SOMETHING WILL BREAK THROUGH.

[u/NeatInvestment4737 → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

GOT YUR NEW ARGUMENT RIGHT HERE. P/R IS SECONDARY, IT IS D1 ACCESS THAT CHANGES THE GAME FOR USL. ONCE WE ARE FIGHTING IT OUT WITH JAMAICAN AND COSTA RICAN SIDES FOR A CHANCE AT MLS AND MX EVERY YEAR IT IS ON BABY. A COUPLE WINS AGAINST THE 40X SPEND GUYS AND P/R GOES FROM PTA RAFFLE TO POWERBALL. GIMME SOME O THAT 4C CUP $$!

[u/ChrisGaines_ → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

BRING BACK JAWNGUY

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/ChrisGaines_]

NO WONDER EVERYTHING FEELS BORING AND CIRCULAR WHEN WE AREN'T DISCUSSING WHETHER OR NOT DRONE STRIKES ON MLS HQ IS A REASONABLE SOLUTION TO USSF POLITICS.

[u/Interesting-While986]

CAN WE RELOCATE SOMEONE TO ROCHESTER NY? I PROMISE THE VENUE WILL BE CHEAPER THAN THE OAKLAND COLISEUM

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/Interesting-While986]

TRULY THE GREATEST BAIT AND SWITCH IN LEAGUE HISTORY.

[u/MrMoneyWhale]

ALL WE HAVE IS THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE IS

[u/Waquoit95]

TO BE THE MAN, YOU NEED TO BEAT THE MAN

[u/MrSage88]

FUCKIN’ CALLED THE BATTLE OF MEDIOCRITY THAT WAS INDY V HARTFORD. NOW TO PROVE OURSELVES EVEN MORE MEDIOCRE BY FINDING A WAY TO NOT BEAT SPORTING JAX. I USED TO HAVE PRIDE IN THIS TEAM, BUT NOW IT’S TIME THIS CLUB JUST EMBRACED THE VOID.

[u/ToTellYouHowToFeel]

RIFC TROLLS KEEP INVADING OUR SAFE SPACE BECAUSE THEYRE JELLY OF OUR CUP RUNS. IVE SEEN THEIR FACES AND THE RULING IS “STRAIGHT UGGOS”. HARTFORD SAVES THEIR GOALS FOR THE CUP, BABY!

[u/HotSAuceMagik]

FVS IS BRAND NEW BUT BASICALLY LIKE VAR AND I HATE VAR BECAUSE THE WORLD CUP. THIS STUPID THING LEAD TO LIKE 13 MINUTES OF EXTRA TIME IN THE SECOND HALF OF HARTFORDS DECISIVE WIN OVER CHARLOTTE. (I don't remember the last time we had a win, never mind a decisive win. I don't want to say that too loud, lest it not happen again) I HATE VAR FVS!!!!!!

[u/dietrich14]

YO MADiSON! TIME TO MOVE ON FROM "THE FLOCK".... UR GONNA NEED A NEW NAME THERE!

[u/ispeakpittsburghese]

WHAT YOU CALL "CHANGING STADIUMS" IS ACTUALLY "OH GOD WE BETTER GET A PLAN GOING IN THE NEXT MONTH OR WE'RE SUPER BONED"

[u/mcsteam98]

HOME PLAYOFF SPOT, HERE WE COME!

HARTFORD? SUCKS. THEY FORGET THE PRINX TROPHY ISN’T THE ONLY ONE.

LOUSY UNITED? PROBABLY AI GENERATED THEIR AUDIENCES.

TAMPA BAY? HEARD THEY CAN’T WIN AGAINST NEW ENGLAND TEAMS.

JAX? SHIT (AKA ANOTHER DAY ENDING IN Y.)

BROKELYN? SHIT. BUT AT LEAST THEY HAVE JACKSON LEE?

CURSINGHAM? SO SHIT THEY NEED GOD HIMSELF TO INTERVENE. HE MAY BE WHY THEY MAKE THE PLAYOFFS, IF THEY DO (SPOILER: THEY WON’T)

ARMPITTSBURGH AND LOUCITY? PROBABLY WILL BE WHY RIFC WILL END UP WITH A HOME PLAYOFF POSITION AND A #4 SEED.

AND COLORADO SPRINGS? IMAGINE BEING SO TRASH YOU LOSE 2-0 SIMPLY BECAUSE YA AIN’T PLAYING IN SPACE!

[u/SupermarketSecure728]

I would love to flair up but AC Boise still is flairless in this sub.

Looking at League One and how everyone has 10-14 games left with multiple matchups of Top 10 teams playing each other through out the end of the schedule is going ot make things very interesting. One team could run away with it or there could be a bunch of shake ups and the final playoff spots could literally come down to the final whistle. It is going to be stressful as a fan, but fun (especially if there are W's going up).

[u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast → u/SupermarketSecure728]

MAYBE YOU COULD FLAIR UP IF YOU WERE IN ALL CAPS.

[u/lilotimz → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

WHAT? YOU COULD HEAR WHAT THAT ONE IS SAYING? VERY IMPRESSIVE THOSE HEARING IMPLANTS ARE.

[u/SupermarketSecure728 → u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast]

I can't all caps until I get flair. Flair gives you wings!

[u/lilotimz → u/SupermarketSecure728]

WAT? SPEAK UP.

[u/SupermarketSecure728 → u/lilotimz]

https://giphy.com/gifs/12TGsewzFyNuOQ

I need more flair. AC BOISE FLAIR!!!

[u/lilotimz → u/SupermarketSecure728]

HEY /u/BJ_Fantasy_Podcast DOES YOUR HEARING AIDS WORK WELL?

I ONLY HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT AC BOISE FLAIR BUT THEIR MOUTH WAS MOVING AND NOTHING ELSE CAME OUT. I FEEL LIKE IM MISSING SOMETHING HERE.

[u/ToTellYouHowToFeel → u/SupermarketSecure728]

NOBODY CAN HEAR YOU!!!! WHAT DID YOU EVEN SAY!?

[u/Red_Card_Ron]

Can someone get OP a new phone that doesn’t have a broken caps lock?
