Chantico's Army: 2010.09.28 :: Futbol en Vivo (English)

Special condolences for David Alvarez, who lost his father this week. David, you are in the thoughts and prayers of everyone in Chantico's Army and the Austin Aztex.

Chantico's Army: 2010.09.28 :: In the Mixer :: Episode 7 :: Chris Grayson, Paul Hart and Steve Holler (President-Elect of Ralph's Mob)

NOTE:

Watching Event: Austin Aztex at Carolina RailHawks Watching Party begins on Friday (Tomorrow) at 6 p.m. at Mister Tramps Sports Pub & Cafe. Please get here early because here are some reason why YOU SHOULD BE THERE.

1) We have the big room with the big screen to ourselves that evening.

2) Very soccer friendly atmosphere. Meaning no NFL and MLB games or fans to get distracted from watching soccer.

3) No college throwball games (since UT fans will be traveling to Big D for the weekend).

4) Contest to win some Aztex playoff tickets perhaps?

5) It's FREAKING FRIDAY !!!! What better way to get off from work than to head to Mister Tramps to get a cold beer after a hard days work.

6) You get to hang out with very cool and hip Austin Aztex fans & Chantico's Army members. If that doesn't get you excited, I don't know what does. ;-)

7) You get to see & witness the Aztex (hopefully) clinch the USSF D2 League title with a win at Carolina.

So I hope to see you this Friday evening. GO AZTEX!!!!

* Note from the last 2 links: Please don't even bother reading that "rumor" site. It's a waste of time and not worth of having your brain cells exposed to their content. Having them mentioning that Austin & Rochester is going to division 3 is a total joke to itself. The Aztex are firmly to be in divsion 2 for next season and beyond. So please don't believe the hype.

Note: Please listen to the In The Mixer Podcast as I was their guest on the show as well as Arch Bell from Futbol en Vivo to talk about the Aztex's season so far and what's going on in the current state of USSF D2. My apologies if my microphone was awful from the show and being a nervous "newbie" really showed it but had a good time. Many thanks to Matthew & Eric for having me & Arch on the show and I'm looking forward to many more to come (rather it's listening to the show or being back on it).

Getting ready for the Aztex's first game this week.

Tuesday, April 14 - Media Day - make sure to watch the local news on Tuesday night to see what Aztex coaches and players had to say about the upcoming season.

Wednesday, April 15 - Meet the Team Night at Cuatros - this is a meet and greet for all Aztex fans who want to hang out and get to know your 2009 Austin Aztex players and coaching staff.

Friday, April 17 - Youth Club Affiliate Night - this is an opportunity for all Aztex youth club affiliates to come out and meet the players including an autograph session and an exciting penalty kick shootout.

Saturday, April 18 - MATCH DAY!
