A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
Good word, I'm spoiling (or annoying) the lot of you with these twice-daily posts. Don't count on them continuing, by and large, though, as these have all been somewhat special cases. At any rate, I went off to watch the RSL reserves take…
Remember those pre-match jitters, the worries that Colorado was an in-form side, the worries that we'd struggle to break sides down some days. Yeah, those. Throw 'em out the window. That 2-0 win over the Rapids should prove it. The thing…
Several RSL fans sent in photos of the — no, our — Rocky Mountain Cup, so I've compiled them here. Contributers include @smackdowntay, @sltid_jake, @aayorkshire, and @CaseyForsberg.

Is there anything more beautiful than a midweek match? I suppose there is, and for some, they represent a real pain — I've been in that situation, what with having been a traveling supporter from the southern end of the state last season.…
