Rising As One

In our last episode of 2018, the gang starts by discussing Carl Woszczynski’s return. Then we get into several new signings, including AJ Cochran and Joey Calistri. (2:30-25:00).

Then we get into the Mobile Mini Preseason Sun Cup, break down the 2019 PRFC Schedule, and any potential impacts of the Jan. 27 USMNT match on our MLS chances. (25:00-50:00).

We finish by answering a Supporters’ Section question and giving our Rising New Year’s resolutions. (50:30-End) Thanks for listening, and have a Happy New Year!

We’re Back!

After lots of rest and recovery (AND a lost season review episode we will release next week), the guys return to talk about Rising off-season news.Many Rising player transactions have happened in the last four weeks, so we broke them up into outgoing players, returning players, and new arrivals. (3:00-45:00).

Then we tackled league news, including conference realignment (adios Mizzou, hello Tex-Mex) and the Ottawa Fury fiasco (45:00-1:00:00).We finished with a bevy of Supporter’s Section questions, including a look at the three expansion teams, MLS expansion talk, and a heated debate about the best on-site concessions (Hint: It’s either Venezia’s Pizza or Senor Ozzy’s Tacos). (1:01:00-End). Thank you for listening and please make our Holidays merry with a 5-star podcast review!
