C.U. Loves Liverpool

Here’s an interesting look into the Colorado soccer scene (or the Boulder soccer scene at least; for those not from Colorado, Boulder is very different from the rest of Colorado, and both parties usually prefer it that way). I’m a student at CU and I had an unusual gap in my schedule today, so [...]

Salt Lake to Play US Cup Qualifier Tonight (Poorly)
By: Kyle | No Comments
The youngsters over at Salt Lake are going to try and get into the US Open Cup tonight. The match will kick off at 7pm and will be broadcast…nowhere. Honestly, I hate Salt Lake enough that I would, in fact, watch if it were on TV. Is that sad? Yeah, I [...]
Chicago Fire 2-1 Colorado Rapids

Frickin’ Thorrington.
This is going to sound really lame: scoring a goal against the Fire is a victory in itself; not a “worth three points” victory or a “anyone will care in a week” victory, mind you. It was more of a “moral victory that people like to use as an excuse for failure” kind [...]
Chicago Fire - Colorado Rapids: Preview
By: Kyle | No Comments
Win your home games, draw your away. If you’ve followed soccer for any time, you’ve probably heard this strategy expressed. I, personally, hate draws. To me they’re hardly better than a loss. In fact they’re 2/3 of a loss and 1/3 of a win. In a playoff race, they’re just [...]
Colin Clark on Altitude’s One-on-One
By: Kyle | 1 Comment
For those of you local to Colorado, I just saw an interview with Colin Clark on One-on-One, Altitude’s interview show. The interview was okay, but it wasn’t particularly informative or earth-shattering, so really this is just an excuse to talk about how awesome Colin Clark is, how he would have been a contender for [...]

That’s the best I’ve got. I took German for three years and barely passed, so that’s as close as I can come to happily informing you that the Rapids are finally jumping in on the MLS tradition of hosting major foreign clubs on their preseason tours in friendly matches. Nice catch by wewantrapidman [...]
Colorado Rapids 0-2 San Jose Earthquakes
By: Kyle | 1 Comment
I don’t know who it was that wore the burgundy at Dick’s on Saturday, but it wasn’t the 2008 Colorado Rapids. The 2008 Rapids dominate the midfield. The Rapids that took the field Saturday were beat in near every significant midfield battle of the night. To be honest, it looked like we [...]
Rapids vs. Two Time League Champs and Expansion Team: Preview
By: Kyle | No Comments
Last year at Dick’s, there were two guys with season tickets next to mine. They were from San Jose, so I wasn’t surprised when one of them showed up to the All-Star Game wearing his old Earthquakes jersey (the ‘Quakes expansion was announced the day before). The conversation went something like this:
Me: “So [...]
Enter the New Guy

I’m not making this up: I was going to use the Admiral Stockdale joke to introduce myself, too. Until I saw that Jeff already used it (But, I can link to the youtube clip. If you get through Quayle and Gore, Stockdale’s speech should give you a good belly laugh).
Hi. My name [...]
Your Correspondent Signing Off: The Meaning of Two Words
By: Jeff | 1 Comment
My online dictionary offers two definitions for the word “bastard”:
1) noun (archaic or derogatory): a person born of parents not married to each other.
2) noun (informal): an unpleasant or despicable person.
I’ll leave it to you to decide which applies. That will make more sense if you keep reading.
It has barely been a couple months [...]
