Wow! Religious smack. And in your very first post. Aren't you original. I was wondering how long it would take to go down this road. Thanks for coming along and saving Jason since he had avoided it.

Don't claim it's just the "fireworks," because everyone in Denver knows that they're better viewed for free from outside the stadium...
If it's not for the fireworks, how come people only show up to Crapids games when there are fireworks? Or when they give away free balls to kids? I wonder what the average attendance at a Crapids game is when there isn't anything free or fireworks to be seen and the only thing left is ... the Crapids. It certainly isn't close to 40,000. In fact, I'd be surprised if it topped 8000.

Hey, how did your VERY FIRST tailgate go last weekend? Great job, Crapfan. And now that we're in the ultra-religious Salt Lake, I guess that we can say CRAP without getting yelled at by some lame ass security guards.

Whatever. When you have more than 3 fans (we have at least 3 SUPPORTERS GROUPS) than you can talk.

Welcome Greenie... right out of the gate you have shown you have the promise of a proper smack talker.

I see that you obviously love your city and will probably not take lightly a bunch of RSL Fans talking smack about it. Nor will we!

I will start by saying... SLC is probably as much or more of an ethnically diverse culture as Denver so lets not go there today. The subject of Religion will probably not win you many friends here but since it is a smack talking thread it will be tolerated with the proviso that if it gets out of hand it will be stopped.

So on that note...Welcome... dookie boy...

Seriously.

People from the state that brought us JonBenet Ramsey and the University of Colorado football team are lauding the fact that Colorado has economic and ethnic diversity?

Dear mother of Bergkamp, it's too good to be true...

Multi-ethnic, have you been to SLC? For example, we have more Tongans in Utah than are in Tonga.

Is the beer sold at the stadium because beer goggles are the only way the people of Colorado stand to watch the Crapids?

"Very first tailgate?" Excuse me?

You know, I have to say I'm impressed. Usually it takes more than a walnut-sized brain to be capable of speech, let alone assumption.

You read that a group of fans on BigSoccer are getting together for the first time and you assume that this is the first time that Rapids fans are doing a tailgate. Right, that makes total sense. Guess we'll just have to ignore the 600+ people that showed up to the Oktoberfest tailgate the previous time FaKE was in town.

Perhaps I can claim that the Magic Three upporters Groups of Sale Lake are equally incapable of tailgates. I mean, when we pulled into the Rice-Eccles lot 3 hours prior to the the USA-CR kickoff, all we saw was three or four FaKE fans, a BBQ smoker and a lot of empty parking spaces. Difference is, we left that lot, drove up the street and found out that hey, look, there are SLC fans not at all associated with the Magic Three that are holding some very nice tailgates.

Oh how I wish that were true, but believe me, there aren't more than 110,000 Tongans in Utah.

You need glasses, I see more than 2 boxes up there as of 12:22 PDT. I suppose the fact that you can see that boxes exist is all I can expect from a FaKE fan though.

JULES: Rum? In Salt Lake? Well, it's legal there, right?

VINCENT: Well yeah it's legal, but it ain't a hundred percent legal. I mean you can't walk into a bar, order a glass of rum and start drinkin' away. You're only supposed to drink in your home or certain designated places.

JULES: Those are the private clubs?

VINCENT: Yeah, it breaks down like this. It's legal to buy it, it's legal to own it, and if you're the proprietor of a private club, it's legal to sell it. But it's not leagl to carry it, which really matters because -- get a load of this -- if the cops stop you, it's entirely legal for them to search you. Bringing liquor across the state line is a right visitors don't have.
