Are you ready to turn Madison, Wisconsin lightning yellow?  On Sunday, June 6th, Union Omaha pays a second visit, in as many weeks, to the Flamingos of Forward Madison.  The first match didn’t fare so well for the Owls, losing 1-0.  The club looks to atone for the loss, return the kind gesture to ForwardContinue reading “Madness at The Mad House, Part 2”

Welcome to Week 9 of the USL League One season.  This week, Union Omaha gets to face an opponent for the first time: Toronto FC II.  The match will take place at Grande Sports World in Casa Grande, Arizona.  Kickoff time is set for 9 PM (CST) and will air on ESPN+.             Toronto FCContinue reading “First Ever Matchup with Toronto FC II”

Thank God for the holiday weekend and the short turnaround. I can use it as an excuse to say that I don’t have much time to talk about last week. And there’s not much to talk about with last week, obviously, because we all sucked. How does a group of people go a combined 7-42?Continue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 9”

A week ago, Olivia Rodrigo’s debut album, SOUR, was released. It seems as if I’m not the only person in my age bracket to reallly like the album. If you have not listened, I’d encourage you to at minimum read that review and consider listening. As a Union Omaha fan, the songs will hit justContinue reading “Data Dump: at Madison #1”

Even if last weekend’s games were kinda ho-hum, an analysis of our picks would suggest otherwise. The group combined to hit 25% of the exact scorelines (we had hit less than 9% before then), there was wild disparity amongst the group, and at the bottom was one unfamiliar face (Rich), and one very familiar faceContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 8”

On Wednesday, May 26th, Union Omaha and Forward Madison will take the field at Breese Stevens Field and face off for the first time this season.  The regional rivals have only played two matches, but they remain undefeated.  The last time Madison played was in Saturday, May 15th, defeating North Carolina FC 1-0 at home.Continue reading “Another Fight with a Feathered Fiend”

Another week of USL League One action is in the books and it had some truly entertaining moments.  We’ll highlight those, and more, below. Richmond Kickers 0-0 North Carolina FC             As difficult as Richmond tried to make their homestand, North Carolina FC fought every minute of the match and returned to Cary, North CarolinaContinue reading “Red Wolves, Young Reds Earn 1st Win”

It’s Week 7 in the 2021 USL League One season, so chronologically speaking, we’re just about a quarter of the way through the season.  Someone must have finally told Toronto FC II that playing matches helps your chances at winning the league.  Welcome back to league action, Toronto.  It’s been almost 900 days since they’reContinue reading “7th Week in Heaven”

So it looks like a pattern is beginning to emerge; the people that write for Who Gives a Hoot are more knowledgeable than those that talk on Who Gives a Hoot. Rich (who took “all or nothing” to heart last week) and I have already lapped Luke and Ben, and Ryan is not able toContinue reading “USL League One Predictions: Week 7”

            The schedule was released and then came the announcement of the nationally-televised broadcast.  The match between Union Omaha and Greenville Triumph had already been circled on many calendars, but then add a first-ever national broadcast for the league?  I don’t know about you, but I used the rest of the ink circling last SundayContinue reading “Battle on the Main Stage”
