This was so much fun. Listen to me and listen up good about small town soccer in America. #uslleagueone

Spokane has now burned 4 subs before 73 minutes are up. They have to throw numbers forward to even try to get back in this.

My view of the pen that put One Knox up 2-0.
November 16, 2025 at 11:32 PM
HT. This One Knox team plays excellent. I already knew this. Doesn't mean Spokane Velocity hasn't had their chances however. They had about 50 corners in the first half and didn't even come on target with the majority of those.
November 16, 2025 at 11:03 PM
It is nice to see a team play quality ball and strike first and quick. One Knox up 1-0 only 4 minutes in.

Nice day for a cup final dontcha think?

First time at this new stadium! Have been by it under construction a few times on prior trips through to see family.

Knoxville - I am back in you for the USL League One final. More to come.

46 today. Survived another year of being a TV engineer and soccer hooligan.

Thank you everyone for being along with me on this crazy ride. Here's to another trip around the sun!

Very interesting. Don't know how this will boost the viewership numbers that are so mysteriously hidden... but there has to be a reason this decision was made. Maybe the numbers were good but not good enough, or this is an attempt to salvage the deal before a clause gets triggered to opt out.
BREAKING: MLS will come out from behind the separate MLS Season Pass subscription beginning in 2026, per sources.

All games will be available on the Apple TV streaming service.

NWSL TO ATL!!!

The Athletic reports the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) is awarding its 17th franchise to Atlanta, which will join the league for a record expansion fee of $165 million.

The Atlanta club will be owned by Arthur Blank and play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Just to prove to you how much of a sicko I am and one to never forget their roots...

Knoxville, I am coming up there for the USL League One final.

Like I said before, it is so humbling to see how much the beautiful game has grown there since I left.

I can't wait! @oneknoxsc.bsky.social
November 9, 2025 at 4:07 AM
And that is why they call it the beautiful game. The Loons go through.

OFFICIAL: TATA MARTINO RETURNS AS NEW HEAD COACH FOR #ATLUTD ❤️🖤
November 6, 2025 at 3:19 PM
I have been ruminating on this since last week... I haven't come up with clear thoughts yet.

I should come up with something soon shouldn't I?
Sources: Tata Martino has emerged as the clear frontrunner to be Atlanta United's next head coach.

Club still interviewing candidates but clear feeling is Martino likely.

NickintheATL History Lesson:

I moved to Atlanta in early November 2018. For just about 10 years prior, I lived in Knoxville.

I was so excited when @oneknoxsc.bsky.social came into being in 2021 back there, first in USL2 then up in USL1. #oneknoxsc

Random thought: body hair is sexy. I can understand if you trim it, but please, don't shave it all off.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

If you're shocked, you're not paying attention.
BREAKING: Atlanta United has announced the dismissal of head coach Ronny Deila, the club announced Sunday, October 19. A global search for a new permanent #ATLUTD head coach will begin immediately.

Well. That's it. We avoided the wooden spoon. I am not going to make fun of another side that won it. We have had our worst season ever.

What I will say is that it has been a long season but a fun one being on the board of @allstripesatl.com. See you in December for our end of season party. #ATLUTD

Call it the Wooden Spoon Derby.

Call it the BATTLE FOR THE BOTTOM.

It's about to go own. #ATLUTD

So, here we are. About a day out from the Wooden Spoon Derby (h/t to @dreyesceron.bsky.social).

I have been busting my ass all week on the tifo because it's still our Pride match. Me and my sister Chris have been designing this thing for 6 months before any of this ever happened. #ATLUTD
