SkoPurp No. 113: A Long, Slow Pride Off-Season
Episode 113
Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
It's been a month and a half since our last episode of this podcast, and our only defense is that the club hasn't really given us much to talk about. The Pride have gone silent in regard to team news, but things almost certainly have to pick up with the season approaching, right? Right?!Our first order of business is the preseason schedule that came out the day of the first preseason scrimmage. We know who won and who scored, but we're not at liberty to say. That doesn't help you, the listener, and that's kind of our point. Preseason doesn't have to be a state secret, but the club continues to prefer it that way.With the season opener coming in just a couple of weeks, there are some cool events to take the place of actual preseason news, and soon you can see the Pride's replacement for the Citrus Kit, have a pint with the Pride, and get out and look for a scarf. Is that as cool as a signing? We leave that for you to decide. Our mailbagbox wants to know if Emma Hayes hates Orlando, when the Pride will announce a signing, and more. Remember, you can ask us anything by hitting us up on Twitter at either @TheManeLand or @SkoPurpSoccer and using the hashtag #AskSkoPurp. You can use that same hashtag and hit @TheManeLand.bsky.social up on Bluesky. Or you can visit our show page, scroll down, and fill out the handy form. We'd also appreciate any ratings or reviews you can leave wherever you get your podcasts, and if you do that on Apple Podcasts, we'll find them easily and read them on the show.That's it! It's a short one this month, but the club was short on news. We will not take quite so long between episodes next time.We're in our off-season schedule now, so we'll be back at least monthly, and as often as news requires.If you'd like to support our independent writing and podcasting efforts, we'd love to have you as a subscriber or donor over at our Buy Me a Coffee site.Here’s how Episode 113 went down:0:15 – The Pride tell us about preseason games they won't tell us about, and there are some cool upcoming team-related events.10:32 - Our mailbagbox has been waiting for answers for like a month now.
