It's been a slow start for Charlotte's MLS side but hope still springs eternal in this Soccer City, especially with our USL1 Charlotte Independence about to kick off their season.We've got a special episode ahead of Saturday's Season Opener at Memorial, as we welcome the gaffer Mike Jeffries to the show, as well as Goalkeeper Austin Pack. Both have deep Carolina roots and strong history with the Independence, and the chance to sit down and talk about the Jacks' past, present, and future was a true delight. Getting to know these guys is something any soccer fan can enjoy even if you aren't super familiar with what the Independence are doing. By the time you've heard what they have to say, you'll be wondering where to buy tickets for Saturday.Of course Charlotte FC is ready to rock as well, looking for a result on the road and desperate to kickstart the campaign. Could a formation switch and a "back-to-basics" approach yield fruit? We'll break down why Latty's mid-week presser may give us reason to doubt. There's a lot of soccer left and it gets going in full force this weekend as we set out in search of a #SixPointSaturday.
