We may get an actual rivalry out of this after all. I was beginning to wonder if we'd get anyone to care.

There is no getting them to ever see reason.

If I've done my math right, Colorado is averaging more points/game against the other 5 Eastern Conference teams than Columbus (1.4 vs. .83). Against the other 5 Western Conference teams Columbus has the edge (1.25 vs. 1.6). If you were to have the two teams play 10 games against each conference (A balanced schedule) using these numbers the Rapids would come out 2 points ahead.

I'm not denying the advantage the Rapids have being in the West, but they are a better team than Columbus, looking at the results so far, even if the teams played a balanced scheudle.

They'll have to bring more than just "Jason Mama". One fan does not a rivalry make, unfortunately.

True, but one is still better than none.

FYI Ma is short for Maxwell (My last name). At the time I started posting to soccer forums on the 'Net the company I worked for had first name + first 2 characters of the last name as your username, and I decided to use it to have one less thing to remember.

Ironically Mr. Maxwell doesn't even live in Colorado. They had to import their One Fan from another state. Sad, really... So sad...

(Section 37: You're right. He's a cool guy and good leader for C10.)
