Predictions Revisited

In which I look back at my preseason predictions and see how I did. 2016’s score: a lackluster 1.5/5.

BIR Roster Announcement

In just over two months Detroit City FC will open its 2018 preseason and I’ll begin my fifth full year of covering the club via Boys In Rouge. From the beginning, I’ve focused primarily on telling the story of the club and providing my best amateur analysis of what happens on the field. Now, thanks to a new partnership, I’ll be able to do even more.

In an effort to expand and diversify BIR’s content, I’ve teamed up with Robert Sherman. Robert has spent the last two seasons covering the NPSL Great Lakes Region for his site, For the Love of Fútbol. With that project coming to an end, he’s currently working on Resurget Magazine as its Editor-in-Chief, as well as doing some kick-ass photography:

In addition to contributing equally awesome photos to this site, Robert will be doing on-field interviews, writing post-match reports, and whatever other cool stuff we happen to think up.

Welcome Robert!
