Aug 2, 2024 TAC Day 1 - Freedom Recover Well in Loss to Ireland Ireland had two opponents in their 2024 AFL TransAtlantic Cup opening game against the USA Freedom: the American side, and the humidity. In the end, they handled both, but it was the side in blue who coped with the thick air at Colonel Sam Smith Park in Toronto. After falling behind by 45 points at three-quarter time, Team USA rallied against a fading Banshees group to close the gap in a 56-32 loss. Read more » |

Jul 30, 2024 Revolution Revs Up - TransAtlantic Cup Preview Twenty-five years ago, a Revolution began. It wasn’t a revolt, rebellion, or a mutiny, much like the one that led to the foundation of our country. But it was, in a sense, a coup. A new national team in a sport that no one representing it had played growing up. This was the USA Revolution Aussie Rules football club.

Back then, there was around a dozen or so clubs, and the local American players were easily distinguishable by their lack of skills. Read more » |

Jun 28, 2024 Buzz Buzz Buzz Buzz - Previewing the Western Regionals Utah might be the strangest looking hexagon out there, but it is definitely unique. It was the pioneer spirit and want of a new life that brought Brigham Young and his fellow settlers to the little groove between the Great Salt Lake and the rising peaks of the Wasatch Range. When he arrived, he noticed that there were no natural sweeteners other than honey available. Just bees. Lots of bees. Read more » |

Jun 18, 2024 June 2024 Odin Mortgage Coaches Polls Before we get into the June Polls, a bit of a disclaimer. The timing of this poll was changed to coincide with a promotion from our sponsor, Odin Mortgage.

And while we won't know how this past weekend in Ohio or next weekend in Utah will affect how the pollsters thought of the teams, we have a pretty good idea as to how they felt heading into it.

The answer to that question? Well, not much of a difference from seven months ago. But there was some movement. Read more » |
