Rocky Mountain Cup

On the RMC, these words are written: 

 

"Bring me men to match my mountains 

Bring me men to match my plains 

Men with empires in their purpose 

And new eras in their brains" 

-Sam Walter Foss, 1894 

That sure sounds more like a call to RSL players than to Colorado players to me. Who on Colorado's team can answer that call? Who wears a Colorado Rapids jersey with pride? Every player on RSL is a winner because they believe in the team. Every player has pride in the colors they wear. Who on Colorado's team has the leadership to match Beckerman or toughness to match Ian Joy? Who on Colorado's team wants to win more than Will Johnson, or to whom does this game mean more than it does to Thug (aka Andy Williams)? Who thinks they can compete in any athletic competition against Olave? Casey perhaps? We all remember when Olave threw Casey around like a rag doll last time these two sides met.

I don't know why I was initially so nervous for this game. The more I think about it, the more my nerves turn to anticipation for the baddest ace game ever.

RMC

I've been taking a sabbatical for the last little while from Real Salt Lake. Apparently so has the defense. We've let in 7 goals in the last 2 games. Unbelievable. I wasn't able to watch all of the Columbus game and didn't have anything really to say about it, but dang. Something happened all of the sudden to the D that needs to be fixed right away.

We'll get an opportunity to right our wrongs this coming Friday when the piece-of-Crapids come to town! As a fellow fan remarked as we discussed RSL this morning, this is THE game of the year. If you only go to one game all year, this is the one to go to. This is the one and only trip the Utah for the RMC (Rocky Mountain Cup) and it is going to be a dandy. We've got 3 ex-crapids on our team in Weenert, Mathis, and Beckerman. They've now got Ballouchy. Those players always get excited to show off against their former teams. And of course they have Mastro-weenie, everyone's favorite player to heckle. It's going to be an exciting game to watch reguardless of the outcome.
