This Is Silly With The Louligans!

Thanks to Saint Louis FC, particularly Pat Barry, for arranging the AGM to be held at the Ballroom at Soccer Park.  With the condensed offseason, and even shorter preseason, there wasn’t a lot of opportunity for this event.   Listen to the different Louligan Czars discuss the upcoming season, what’s planned, and how you can help out.  We are ALWAYS in need of volunteers to make our gameday experience the best we can.   We did have some mic issues during the event…I’ve done my best to raise the audio as much as possible without making it so distorted it was unlistenable.  It’s not the best, but then again, if you really wanted to hear it, you should have been there!

We are live at Sugarfire 44 for this anniversary episode of This Is SiLLy! We have a good crowd, and use this episode to talk about the history of the Louligans, history of the pod, and explain all the jokes and references for the past 10 years.  It’s a good walk down memory lane for those that have been around for a long time, and a great introduction for the new people.   Happy birthday to us!

Really, what else is there to say?  it’s the Town Hall.  Shoulda been there.

Three games.  Three wins. The Stanley Cup. AOSTL puts on a show. Go listen.  You want to share this joy.

That game in Tampa Bay was dreadful. No league wins in just about 3 months. It’s not good enough. So we take your ventings and discuss. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly? I don’t know.) most of the discussions are the same. What are they? Stop reading and start listening.

The three of us agree, we didn’t play bad…just a couple breakdowns on set pieces. And the weather sucks. We’re tired of being wet and cold…But remember that feeling in August. We talk about the upcoming game against Pittsburgh, talk about the recent #MLS4TheLou social media conversations, and as always, take your (mostly) excellent questions. […]

*Smug Holiday BastardZack, the big loud drum guy, sits on the couch and fills in for Bird. We talk about the best thing about the Nashville trip: THREE POINTS. Definitely a lot of laughing when Zack is around, but we still cover the business. We discuss the Nashville game, the upcoming Tampa Bay game at […]

So Andy Vernon sits in with us and takes over the News Girl role from Brad. He even dropped a “Shut up dickhead” to fill the Bird role. We also get a call in from Tom Strunk, “CFO of everything”, to fill us in on the discussions with Don Garber and #MLS4TheLou this week. Thanks […]

We start the show by talking about the MLS4TheLou progress, and you can also watch it on our Instagram feed! Afterwards, we get into the more important topic at hand: The USL season is just 19 days away! The team was on the road for the beginning of camp; we talk about our trip to […]

True, we should pick up points where we can, but we can’t complain about a draw on the road.  Win at home, tie on the road.  Next two games against teams ahead of us are important, and that’s what we talk about. There wasn’t much news this week, but we have an in depth discussion […]

Because they’re repeats of what we’ve said about the disappointing performances as of late, Mitch samples the statements from previous pods and plays the repetitive statements. Brad gets annoyed, so we say the same things we said without the sampler.  We discuss the World Cup, the soon-to-be-announced USL teams, the Britney’s preparing for the playoffs, […]

Not much to say after Saturday’s game.  Just wasn’t good nor our night. But there’s a lot of soccer news going on…Loisville’s coaching change, Charity Du Jour, and oh yeah, the World Cup. We discuss all the above, the state of US Soccer (it’s not good), and take your questions. Settle in, it’s a long […]

One of the biggest offseason signings is on the show! Corey continues the streak of entertaining players that join us for a chat.  This veteran knows the league and has shown he can produce, but also produces good stories as much as he scores.  (Which is often) We talk about his time in the league, […]

The hard tackling #2 joins us tonight to talk about the first two games of the season.  What’s the mood among an all-new team coming in to the home opener?  He’s going to let us know. Jonathan also shares what the locker room is like, how the team is coming together, and how they’re looking […]

It wouldn’t be an AGM without technical difficulties. The laptop was unable to connect to the onboard, so we have to take the audio from the GoPro onstage for what we have here.  It’s not the best, but better than nothing. Hope you were one of the several hundred in attendance and this is just […]

The new STLFC forward has already endeared himself to fans on twitter; he’s on the couch tonight to share his experiences in Orlando, Wilmington, and Malta.  Yes, Malta.  The country.  Austin has some great stories and we definitely will have him on more this season to tell us more.  Hopefully there’s more with an 85 […]

Mitch and Brad fly without Matthew Bird on this episode, as Matt’s back in Jolly Old England.  Where he made the mistake of staying up to watch saturday’s game until 4am his time. While we’d like to say the topics and questions are new and exciting, let’s be honest: it’s been the same podcast after […]

Every game is three points that we need. Can we get it going?  Next game is a major decider if we’re players or pretenders. We talk about how unsettling the game was Sunday: Winning, then losing, then coming back…how it felt all too familiar but was an unexpected ending.  This game was an encapsulation of […]

It’s actually a quote from Mitch during the show, but some are saying it’s a reflection on the past three years.  How do we know? We have a rant segment.  We took your tweets and read them out during the show.  Call it expressive therapy. We also talk about Jose Angulo’s move to OKC and […]

That’s right, we’ve got GM Jeremy Alumbaugh on the couch.  Drink every time he says Get After It or At the End of the Day.  Unless you’re driving…then just play along with coffee or water. Matt Bird is on vacation, so we talk about things he’d want to be involved in just to aggravate him. […]
