Fate is a cruel mistress, isn’t it? We’re winless in five, and in the process, we’ve dropped a grand total of 14 relatively easy points because of our inability to play our beautiful game. We’re sitting at 52 points and will need a win to…
First things first, I’d like to thank Cameron for his contribution yesterday about the traveling supporters. It really was great to see strong traveling supporters (who don’t happen to be from the Pacific Northwest), hear them, and have…
It might not be the MLS Cup or the Supporters’ Shield, but for the fifth consecutive season, we hold in our hands the Rocky Mountain Cup after our 0-0 draw with those folks from Colorado. It wasn’t exactly pretty, and at times, it was…
