Last night was bonkers. On the pitch, in the stands and in the booth. Don’t fret, the booth cam was rolling. How it looked and sounded on @fccincinnati radio last night. 🔊

The college football coaching cycle sucks. You now have Brian Kelly going to LSU before their season is over and with an outside chance of sneaking in the CFP. This triggers the Luke Fickell rumors and concerns across Cincinnati. It’s a vicious cycle that needs to be fixed.

If you don’t believe @fccincinnati are the best team in MLS today, you haven’t really been paying attention. 8 points clear atop the league with wins against #2 NSH, #3 PHI & #4 SEA. This team sold a $10mm striker, is perfect at home & has all the character in the world. 💪🏼

Fun #MLSSeasonPass note from my chat w/Obinna Nwobodo today:. Obi said because of the #AppleTV broadcast his family was easily able to watch the game in Nigeria and saw his 1st MLS goal live. That’s pretty cool. Said he celebrated by calling them to talk about it. #AllForCincy

Folks, that’s an all time night at TQL Stadium. All. Timer. I’m exhausted. Luca’s strike is the greatest goal scored in that building and probably the best in club history. Lucho’s effort to win it defines MVP. Great teams find a way to win on nights they aren’t perfect.

My dad & I started going to @Browns games 35 years ago. He’s had season tickets since 1999. We’ve watched a lot of heart wrenching games together. Wish we would have been together on the Lakefront today. Alas, our Cleveland Browns are playoff bound. True tears of pure joy.

Consider this: Seattle arrived in Cincy leading MLS with 17 shots on target in 2 games. Tonight they had ONE. They had six goals in two games. Tonight? NONE. That’s one hell of a team performance by @fccincinnati tonight and as gritty of a win as they come. LFG!! #AllForCincy

Mick Cronin and I started at UC four months apart. The job he did rebuilding the program from rock bottom should not be taken for granted or forgotten. Mick worked tirelessly for his alma mater & made the #Bearcats relevant again when many thought he couldn’t.

Consider this. Week 1, @fccincinnati will play in Seattle in front of 40,000+. Week 2, at Atlanta for their banner ceremony, in front of 70,000+. Week 3, at Nippert for the home opener with 35,000 on hand. That’s 145,000 fans in the first 3 @MLS games for the 🔶&🔷.

This video is awesome. The execution. The family being there. The words from the players. The reaction from Pat. All of it. This gives you a small glimpse into what Pat Noonan has meant to the team, the dressing room & the city. Congrats, coach. Nobody deserved this more.
We told Pat that MLS had called an emergency meeting. He had no idea what was coming next 👀

Not to be lost amid a club record six goals? The massive first half performance from @roman_413. With the match scoreless, the rookie made five highlight reel saves in a stretch of 8-10 minutes keeping San Jose off the board. Team of the Week performance from Roman. #AllforCincy

If my memory serves me correctly, Aaron Boupendza is the third straight DP striker to score upon his debut for @fccincinnati. ⚽️ Locadia off bench at NYRB (‘20).⚽️ Brenner in start at Nashville (‘21).⚽️ Boupendza off bench vs NSH (‘23). Lucho also scored in debut. #AllforCincy
