This reminds me of the bus trip scene from Eurotrip, which I would imagine would be your dream.

Same here. And maybe a three-match weekend when Premier kicks off.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 23h

That’s cool. I guess I’m going to join the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Bird Pope Audubon can suck it.

Did you mean this as the same site/weekend for both, or a different neutral site for each league?

I’m told that Union Omaha Assistant Coach Nico Luque received a Red Card during the post-match activities. That was the only sanction I’m aware of.

FT Ft Wayne does what no one in almost two years has done—defeat The Owls. There’s some extra action going on as both teams start pushing and the refs are trying to break it up.

020

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

5,094 announced attendance for the match tonight. By far a season record, and on a Husker game day at that.

79’ As you would expect, Omaha’s attack is picking up steam. They seem to be a little quicker than they have been all game while Ft Wayne look like they are just trying to play for a 1-goal victory.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

71’ A Red Card for Vukovic sparks some fire in the home side. The Omaha bench gets a yellow in the ensuing action, the crowd seems to be getting into it, and Omaha have a man advantage to try to salvage the points for the next 20 or so minutes. 0-1 Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

69’ Nice substitution as Allen comes on for Kempes. More control to go along with the attack as we look for an equalizer.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

65’ Some just in time defending keeps the deficit at 1. Sam and Brent were in the right place after some good moves by Ft Wayne and some crazy bounces. Can’t afford a weird goal against at this point. Still 0-1 Ft Wayne.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

57’ Sergio comes in for Ryen to try to make something out of the small bit of momentum Omaha has started the half with. 0-1 Ft Wayne

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

46’ A sub for Omaha as Laurence comes on for Edrey. I don’t hate this. Edrey is good, but Laurence will take over a midfield when he needs to. And Omaha needs it if we’re going to do something before stoppage time. 0-1 Ft Wayne.

010

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

HT Well that was a half. Some really good early chances go lacking for Omaha and they find themselves behind on a counter and really good strike by Taig Healy. The Owls own a 62-38 advantage in possession, but still trail. I feel like I’ve written this before. 0-1 Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

43’ Midfield turnovers are killing Omaha and Ft Wayne is starting to look comfortable in possession. It’s been harder to find attacks as the half has worn on. With halftime approaching it may be a case of wait and reset. 0-1 Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

38’ Occasionally Brent likes to remind us he’s still got a little speed. He used every bit of that to cut out a very dangerous attack up the left side. He misses that tackle, it could’ve been real bad. 0-1 Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

30’ Another counter and a very dangerous scramble. Cole handles three shots this time, though a spilled rebound was very close to another Ft Wayne goal. Still 0-1 Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I get the feeling that Omaha is just pissed that Charlotte is leading the “points gained from a losing position” race this year.

120

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

26’ Yep. That’s what I thought. The first real danger comes on the counter for Ft Wayne. Credit to Healy fora really good shot, but it’s surely against the run of play. Still can’t keep a clean sheet. 0-1 to Ft Wayne.

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

17’ it’s been mostly Omaha on possession and offense, as you might expect. It feels only a matter of time, but we’ve felt that way early before. 0-0

110

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Nebraska lost to Indiana today by three points. @unionomaha.bsky.social getting ready to take those points back from Ft Wayne. It’d be a great birthday present for Hoot the Owl.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

Good lineup, but it’s worth noting that with Cole starting today, Shido will not be able to get to 50 league clean sheets this season.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I’ve always found it good as an option, though. Not ideal, but I’ve known people in the situation where they couldn’t afford to put down on a car AND pay the taxes, but had to get a vehicle.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

They’re like the starter tires you could get on old racing games.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

Only state I’ve ever bought a car in where they won’t roll the tax into the loan.

Ref went Beast Mode on that poor staffer. The bruises may heal, but the shame will be eternal.

If you plan on watching this, let me know so I can block and make sure you’re nowhere near me in life. Just a truly disgusting thing to be doing

I get victims and affected families getting the option to watch if it’s necessary for their healing and closure. Anyone else that wants to watch someone die really needs to look in the mirror and ask themselves “What the fuck is wrong with me?”

This is the kind of reaction that makes for good rivalries/relationships.

My brain: I wonder if she answers a roll call with “Present”. 🤔

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

There is a huge part of me that would love to see a Madison/Omaha USL 1 Final this year (preferably at Morrison). I think it would add a lot to the league (and to the rivalry). It’s also close enough that you’d probably get great traveling support.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Of course Kayla’s got that on lock. Never in doubt.

If that happens, looking forward to seeing you guys advance!

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Based on table now, which team do you think you guys are hosting for round 1?

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Super extra points for the Invader Zim. My respect for you keeps growing!

For real, in the Turbo Tobin days, that beer would’ve been cold, frothy, and inviting. How far they’ve fallen.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I don’t know what kind of beer they’re drinking in Madison, but it’s clear and looks sus. Points for the upside-down Mingo though.

Are we sure he’s not still gaming and thinking about his Football Manager save?

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I doubt it was just transplants, and not just in MLS. The Seahawks claimed most of the NFL fans I ran in to up there as well. Made being a Niners fan a bit uncomfortable on gameday.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

To my knowledge there have never been fisticuffs between STL supporters and UO supporters. Even if some of them are Madison supporters.

I just LOL’d at the idea that when the revolution comes there will be a bunch of facists taken completely by surprise by a well-trained boomerang regiment.

020

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I’m curious how this would look if you polled soccer supporters who aren’t “MLS” supporters. I personally would back STL City over SKC any day.

This is Bird erasure! Probably because they didn’t want to buy him pants.

Ranting Blue Penguin Media @rbpenguinmedia.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I guessed it was either that or “At least Dolly still lives.”

Congrats to @unionomaha.bsky.social’s Younes Boudadi and Charlotte Independence’s Jon Bakero on being named to the USLPA’s League One board today.
