The crew looks back at the tie against Charlotte and forward to Portland

We're coming off a late draw at Houston and heading into a Rapidless, MLSless weekend. But big news broke today as the Pids signed Coach to a three year extension. 

We have a lot to look forward to this year, and a lot to mourn from last year. Following a fantastic season for the Rapids some fan favorites have dearly departed and some future fan favorites have suited up...such is the turnstyle life of sports fans.

Our credibility guy Brian saw the team in action in Orlando and he tells us what he's excited about as we look ahead to the second leg of the CCL and the season opener away to LA

Oh, and on Thursday, Marco had a couple questions for the Rapids media...

We're up!!!

We're down...

But then again, so is the entire damn league. Such is 2020

Let's talk an historic win at Rio Tinto, and a Rapids loss in Frisco. Then it's on to a double dip in California. 

Will the Rapids swing in time with the pendulum or can we eek out six points in the next week? Only time will tell

Well, Colorado is on fire, California is on fire, Oregon is on fire and Brendan just can't keep straight who the Rapids have been playing in the last two games. 

With the near impossibility of local viewing of our Pids and the charcoal in the air, we're all a bit blazed and confused these days.

Fortunately for all of us Brian remains, despite his ill-advised association with this podcast, a credentialed member of the Rapids Media. He was at the Dick on Wednesday and he's here to tell us all about it...and keep Brendan focused on the right opponents.

Thanks for sticking with us, COYPIDS!

In the spirit of 2020 lasting a thousand years, we look forward this week to Week 6 of the regular season. That's six weeks of league soccer in about as many months and naturally, it starts off with a Rocky Mountain Cup match. We discuss the merits of the rivalry amongst fans, player, and even the coach. 

With the abbreviated season just around the corner (for the Rapids), we fans are left once again in the doghouse with no real viable way (depending on your personal financial situation) to support our team. In this episode we offer Stan and Josh K. some reasonable ways to allow us to pay them money with very little effort on their part. 

We're not asking for any rules to be bent or healths to be compromised, we simply want to be grown ups that care about each other and our team.  

The Rapids are out of the #MLSIsBack Tournament in grand fashion after a draw to MNUFC brings them short of glory. So What happens next in 2020? Your guess is as good as ours, but unfortunately you don't have a microphone and a free podcast publishing account and we do. So here's all our thoughts on the last game potentially being the last game of the season...or the idea that an abbreviated season could still happen.

See ya when there's more to talk about.

And just as quickly as it started, the Rapids are headed home. The result of tonight's match with MNUFC can still matter, providing there's some sort of a regular season following the tournament. If the Pids pull off a win they will enter 2020 with 9 points and a shot at a respectable recovery.

But whatever happens tonight, we're bummed to be out of the #MLSisBack tourney.

Thanks for hanging with us
