With the way BYU football is going I have found an alternative. They are first in the league and have never looked better. Even better,there are no commercials interrupting the games. I realize I will not create any new soccer fans but simply wanted to point to the bright side of athletics in utah. 8)

Are they the Lord's team?

No. But I did hear that they eat " the Lord's chips."

What, there isn't an exciting chess league in this state to follow?

Been a huge fan since year one. RSL is the best team in the league. If - and its a big if - we beat Seattle next week, we'll win the Supporters Shield. Then we'll also win the US Open Cup. Then who knows what happens in the playoffs.

But if RSL is the#1 seed, I like it chances with the home field advantage.

The only team that scares me is LA.

I love RSL--but I'm a little disappointed at the fan's unrest. I'm watching the young players and hoping to see some development on the offensive side of the ball. Not saying everything is great--but the win-or-melt-down attitude of the fans is a bit over the top.

I think it's in the Journal of Discourses.

That would be the Atlanta Braves baseball. Book and verse:

Ephesians 2:20 with Jesus Christ as Chief Cornerstone ;)

Oh no, where's my lightening protection!

[quote="jbluesuu"] Even better,there are no commercials interrupting the games.

They interrupt the game to score. While I admire the physical exercise, to play for hours and score 1 or 2 points is boring to me. When the US women won the world by kicking a free kick at the end of a long scoreless game they lost me. It is better than baseball.

I would love to have wrestling come back.

Mister, you're drinking the wrong kind of football.

We could fix the game of soccer for all the football crowd.

Each goal is worth 7 points.

If you don't score a goal but instead kick the ball OVER the top, you get 3 points.

Now it is basically the same thing except instead of guys standing around to get set up for the next play they are always running around. No fatty linemen here!

:P

Over the last four games RSL is averaging 23 points per game.

RSL plays a very exciting brand of soccer. They haven't been shutout in 24 games. they've scored 2 or more goals in 16 of them.

They must be the highest-scoring soccer team in history.

Well if they were keeping score like football. And that would be enough to beat BYU several times the last three, four years.

RSL is the only local team to have received any of my hard earned money for tickets over the last 3 years. Rio Tinto Stadium is a great venue (wish it were a little bigger).

Being a single dad, time is a very scarce commodity. I would probably go to more BYU games, if it weren't an 8 to 9 hour commitment. RSL games are much less of a time commitment.

That's unpossible.
