A Real Salt Lake blog, 2011–2013
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…
As I write this, a slew of Claret and Cobalt is arriving in Denver, by means of buses, planes, and automobiles,* ready to watch our beloved club smash our Rocky Mountain foes. As the match is being aired on ESPN2, we should either see or…
I can’t sleep. It’s not from the incessant tweets on my cell or my alpaca snoring . The calls are from the Rocky Mountain Cup (RMC). RMC, “That’s because you drive me,” (Acid House Kings). RSL Nation, the Rapids don’t deserve the Cup.…
