Annapolis Blues 2026 Pre-season - Coach Colin Herriot

This week, Sam and Hiram sit down with Pauly from the Bay Bhoys and Leo from the Crabtown Blues to break down what it actually means to be part of a supporter’s group. We're talking tailgate culture, section energy, drums, flags, and the origin story of the "Old Bay" chant.  We get into what first-timers can expect on game day, how the groups keep the whole family involved, and how we can unify the stadium corner to corner.   Plus, a season update, a check-in on the standings, and the usual drink in hand.

The home opener is almost here — and before the first whistle blows, Big Sam is pulling back the curtain on everything that happens before the match day magic. General Manager Steven Hopper joins the show to get into the real work: the grind of last season, the lessons learned, the operational decisions that don't make the highlights, and the vision he's building toward for the Annapolis Blues in the year ahead. From roster moves to front office challenges, this is the conversation fans don't usually get — and the one you didn't know you needed. Strap in. The Blues are back.

A new season of Annapolis Blues soccer is also most here! Sam Huston and Hiram Wainwright are back in the studio, and they're kicking off the new season with the gaffer. Annapolis Blues FC head coach Colin Herriot comes into the studio to break down Year 1 in USL 2, what he learned, and what this club is building toward in 2026. They get into the moments that defined last season — the four-games-in-eight-days grind, the road losses that hurt, and why the boys walking across the field to thank a handful of travelling supporters after a brutal week said everything about who this group is. Coach Herriot talks about a 36-man roster built depth-first, recruiting to a profile from goalkeeper to striker, and why a Chesapeake Division that just added three new clubs is only going to make everyone better. There's also a winter trip to Rio, a conversation about tactical cycles and modern football identity, and a genuine belief that the connection between this team and this city is something worth protecting — and building on. We're drinking Navy Hill tequila soda — women-owned out of Richmond, VA, and great for the parking lot, Hiram's drinking a hint of lime. Sam's on grapefruit. Season 4 tastes good.

This week Sam flies solo, with a little help from Producer Mel to discuss the Blues week. This included the Woman’s side winning the Chesapeake Division and going undefeated. The men snapped their home losing streak with a victory over Patuxent FA 2-0 off a Brady Geho brace. The Blues had plenty of chances but Jameson Metz had a big day in the opposition’s net. It’s pretty simple the blues need to win all 5 of their matches. Got any questions? Reach out to us on Twitter X @NaptownBluesPod Hiram and Sam would love to hear from you.

Naptown Blues Fancast host Sam Huston breaks down a rollercoaster week for your Annapolis Blues in the USL2 Chesapeake Division. First up: a dominant 3-0 road win against the Virginia Marauders. With squad rotation in full effect, the Blues came out hot, backed by flares and full voice from the Bay Bhoys. Matt Lenert bagged a brace and Emmett Kershner sealed it late, while Mikey Johnson made his debut. Stream issues couldn’t stop the vibes, and Sam caught up with Matt post-match for an exclusive chat. Then it was back home on Father’s Day for a gritty showdown vs. NoVa FC. After a heated first half that saw three early yellow cards for the Blues and a questionable goal for NoVa, the second half delivered chaos. Matt Lenert equalized with a beauty from an Albi Ndrenika dime, but late drama—including a gut-punch penalty and a straight red—saw the Blues fall 2-1. Also in this episode: A supporter yells, “You ruined my Father’s Day!” A check-in with the Blues Women, still undefeated and ranked 8th nationally Matchday vibes, supporter shoutouts, and a referee rant (plus Malört) Catch us on your favorite podcast app, follow us @NaptownBluesPod, and visit AnnapolisBlues.com for tickets, merch, and more.
