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!!!!

This Week's "In The Mixer" Podcast & Aztex Watching Party Update - August 24, 2010

Austin Aztex & Kenya National Team Midfielder Lawrence Olum is this week's guest on In The Mixer. In this podcast, he talks about his playing time in the U.S., how he feels playing for the Kenyan National Team and discussions on Aztex's season so far as they continue toward to top of the table. Plus check out Olum's latest "new project". ;-) You can listen to the episode online as well as download in at Chantico's Army website here.

Also, congratulations to former Austin Aztex defender Gareth Evans for making on the 1st team of USL-2 (Third Division). Evans anchored one of the league’s stingiest backlines for Real Maryland Monarchs.

The Austin Aztex will be traveling to the Northwest for two matches this week as they play the Portland Timbers on Thursday (August 26) at 9 p.m. and Vancouver Whitecaps on Sunday (August 29) at 6 p.m. The Aztex Watching Party will now be at Mister Tramps at 8565 Research Boulevard. While we here at Chantico's Army and Aztex Nation really appreciate Cuatros for allowing us to host the event and will still remain the Austin Aztex post-match gather place, we feel that it would be better at this time of the season to move the watching party to Mister Tramps. Considering the fact that college football is about to start (which Cuatros is near the UT campus), NFL getting ready for their season and cricket's bastard step-child of a sport called baseball (no offence to local baseball fans here ;-) ) still in season, it would be better off to watch at a soccer-friendly environment like Mister Tramps instead of being crowded out by the others sports in the pub. So make sure you be there this Thursday to cheer on your Aztex at Mister Tramps. Hope to see you there.

Thursday's Aztex News, Podcast & Notes - August 19, 2010

Austin Aztex: Rochester Vaults into First Place of the USSF D-2 Pro League After Two Wins in Week 19

Austin Aztex: Aztex Newsletter is Hot Off the Press (Issue 24)

The Aztexan: Please Ignore MLSRumors.com *

Inside Minnesota Soccer: Quelling Rumors – A USSF D2 Update *

* 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.

Chantico's Army: 2010.08.17 :: Futbol en Vivo (English) (Podcast)

Chantico's Army: 2010.08.16 :: In the Mixer :: Episode 2 :: Arch Bell and James Clay (Yes, that's me) Guests (Podcast)

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).

Wednesday's Aztex's News & Notes - August 4, 2010

If you haven't listen to the latest edition of Futbol en Vivo podcast yesterday, you can listen to them here: (listen, download in Spanish); (listen, download in English). Austin Aztex's midfielder Yordany Alvarez was their guest on the Spanish version of the show to talk about his experiences playing soccer in Cuba and how he is adjusting like in the U.S. So have a listen to the interview as well as other topics such as the Aztex's win over Miami FC, Copa Libertadores, the MLS All-Star game last week in Houston and others. Also don't forget that tomorrow, Futbol en Vivo will be at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco, TX to attend the FC Dallas vs Inter Milan friendly. You can follow live tweets on their twitter here (@futbolaustin) for live match commentary and post-match audio.

In addition to that, you can also listen to this evening Austin Aztex's Coach's Show (listen, download) on AM 1300 The Zone as well as the first episode of In The Mixer (listen, download).

In other news, Chantico's Army member Dan Wiersema of the Free Beer Movement is mentioned in Austin360.com's article "Make a soccer convert, buy them a beer". Check out Dan's photo trip to Houston for the MLS All-Star match in which he brought along newbies to the beautiful game. To which is very helpful of getting new and converted soccer fans at the Tavern (Pre-Game) or at Cuatros (Post-Game).

Speaking of which, make sure you get to House Park this Saturday night as we take on Tampa Bay Rowdies. The game starts at 7:30pm In both matches so far this season, both of them have been draws/ties (2-2 at Tampa and a thrilling 3-3 at House Park). So be there at the Tavern for pre-match gathering along with Chantico's Army at 5:30pm and post match gathering at Cuatros. Hopefully we can finally get a win against the Rowdies whom their record doesn't reflect on how they played this season. Also the Crocketteers (San Antonio Soccer Supporters Group) will be making their IH-35 trip to House Park (on a Lion and Rose Double Decker Bus) to see the match. So we need every support we can get to support our beloved Austin Aztex to maintain our top of the USSF D2 table status.
