That would be nice, but I don't even have a recording at all. I'm not sure what happened because I definitely remember setting it. This is the second time that something like this has happened to me.

I just checked and mine goes to 88:47. Stupid "Pointy Ball". I'd be willing to create a DVD which will play in a normal player if people want to share it around.

On a side note, The Loyalist banners were shown multiple times throughout the game as well as our section. E32 is great for media coverage.

Good picture of us, especially Mango Jam, on the front page of http://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/.

I'd love one. Thanks.

Czar Jake got tons of air time all throughout the game.

Just before the second half started they showed him for about 10 seconds waiving his lion flag.

Props to the Blitzz FC banner.

Wynalda said he was very impressed with the Utah fans. He said it showed that Utah fans are very educated with the game since we were cheering at the right times and for the right reasons.

It was cool how our chants were so easy to get started. I didn't know how easy it was going to be but we rocked. And it was cool that we got alot of people that just started comming over and standing with us.

That's what it's all about.

I couldn't be prouder of The Loyalists and the job done for the game. It took a few minutes into the game for the cameras to spot the Loyalist section, but once they did we saw you every couple of minutes or so.

What a day. Ryan Hatch made a comment on the radio show about how RSL, the fans, and SLC had sent a message to the state, the soccer world, and American sports in general. Hyperbole? Sure, but if the scope isn't that big the fact remains that something very big happened in RES yesterday and the ramifications will be long term.

No one--absolutely NO ONE--can now question the quality, validity, or appeal of MLS and RSL. They can say they don't like soccer or whatever. But after 16 April 2005, it's impossible to say Utah isn't ready for soccer or that MLS can't pull in the fans.

So will Salt Lake or Murray get the stadium? 😉

I wonder what Bramble is thinking right now.

Yesterday is going to help open alot of doors with getting the stadium built. Although, we do need to show that attendance can stay high all year which I don't think will be a problem.

We won't get 25k every game but I bet we keep it above 15k for regular games. And with the 4th and 24th of July games, our year average should stay above 17k I would think.

It was a lot of fun. An exciting game. I don't know about the other drummers, but I was really tired at the end of it. And I'm tired, sore, and sunburnt (forgot the sunscreen), today! But what a game! We also had cameras on us many times during the game.

My MotM would be Rusty Pierce. Dunseth was great, and DJ was outstanding. The whole defense were stars, in my oppinion. But that save near the end, by Rusty Pierce was heroic!

Our defense was fabulous -- having "Dreamboat" Dunseth and Rojas in the back seemed to really solidify things back there. And to score our first home goal on a diving header -- how rad was that?

I'm all about Tiger Fitzpatrick now -- can't wait until he gets acclimated to the altitude and the team and everything. When he came in and started muscling random Crapids off the ball, my friend said, "yay for Hired Thug!". Thought it summed it up pretty well.

Although my enjoyment of the game was somewhat diminished at times by the Mullet-In-Training in front of me and the seventeen small children he kept trying to smush into approximately three seats, I had a great time. My shoulders and nose now officially match the home shirts, and I have a sweet sunglasses line on my face as a battle scar.

Could yesterday have BEEN any better, seriously?
