October 24, 2023 Episode 20- The Post-Season Award Show
The season may be over, but the good news is we can talk about post-season awards! Each of our players have given their all for Lexington Sporting Club, but even people as indecisive as myself can only vote for one player to earn one of the 8 awards up for grabs.
Kyle, Dillon, and I run through our personal picks and drop some hints for who may have won an accolade to close out the season. Make sure to tune in!

October 12, 2023 Episode 19- Shades of Green
SPECIAL BONUS EPISODE!!!!
With the reveal of our very own soccer specific stadium and fanfare around our coming USL Super League team you know we couldn't pass up getting a bonus episode together to discuss all of the exciting things coming down the pipeline for Lexington Sporting Club!
We even managed to recruit Greenville Triumph fans, Brandon Mays and Gio Canas to lend some perspective, as fans that have watched the league develop over the years, on what this all means for our team and the league as a whole! Oh, and we made sure to find the time to banter with our final regular season opponents before we face off this coming Saturday. Trust me when I say this extra long episode is worth every second!

October 03, 2023 Episode 18- The End Is Near
It's an episode for the history books! For the first time the whole crew is here, with both Kyle and Dillon joining me on the pod!
Not only do we tackle LSC's recent results, but we dig into the new tactics and lineups we've seen as we near the end of the season. We also make a case for which players we hope to see more of this, and next, season that maybe haven't had as many chances to shine, but are brimming with potential. Let's not forget our (possibly spicy) predictions for LSC's final home match of the season against the current league leaders, North Carolina FC!
Get in here and give it a listen!

September 08, 2023 Episode 16- Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Another episode is here and just waiting to enter your ears! What a special episode it is, too!
My special "guest," Kyle Piercy, played a pivotal role in the growth of Lexington Sporting Club as their first Marketing and Communications Director and is now joining the Crane Kicks Lex team to continue his contributions from the fan side of things!
After we talk about his experiences with the club, we discuss the gut punch against Greenville and the greatest comeback that never was against NoCo. We also dive into the emergence of our young players and what their contributions mean for the team, and themselves, as we look toward the future!
What's better than one bald dude hosting a soccer pod? Two! So, give it a listen and enjoy!

August 22, 2023 Episode 15- It's Not Over Till It's Over
We're back for another episode and I am joined once again by fellow LSC fan and creator of the "Come on You Greens" newsletter, Dillon Sweeney!
Join us as we talk about recent results (yes, even the One Knox rivalry outcome) and try to figure out what our realistic expectations for the rest of the season should be. Can we claw our way further up the table? How many points can we hope to gain from our remaining 9 matches? What/who is the secret ingredient to earning positive results? Who might become our "earned" rival?
There is so much we discuss in this one, so give it a listen and let us know what you think!

August 08, 2023 Episode 14- Pulling a Road Win Out of a Hat
In this episode of the pod I'm rolling solo, but there is a lot to talk about!
A tie against the Kickers.
The disappointing rematch against Omaha.
Our MASSIVE comeback against NoCo, featuring a hat trick from Ates Diouf, an unbelievable Tate Robertson Goal, and ANOTHER unbelievable goal line clearance from Kaelon Fox to earn us our first ever road win!
Is the 3-5-2 starting to prove its effectiveness?
Can we safely say that in terms of a reliable striker Ates IS that guy?
Give it a listen!
