Here's a little geography lesson for you. Hopefully it won't go over your head. Having a higher elevation does not make one in the mountains. Mountains make one in the mountains.

From where I am right now, I can look in just about every direction and see mountains. We are surrounded by them. And they aren't 50 miles away either. I can be on a mountain within 10 minutes of writing this.

While Denver may be high, it is on a plain. That's why they call it the High Plains amazingly enough.

You and the federal government still make a great couple.

What does elevation have to do with anything - you're in AZ. You still support a team named after $H!T :pooh: Haha CRAPids

We all understand your inferiority complex. 10 years in the league for the CRapids and the only thing to show for it is a trophy won against an expansion team. We get it - you have realized that any hardware RSL takes home in the next 9 years makes RSL the more historically successful franchise. I think most people would suffer an inferiority complex to some extent if they were a fan of the Crapids. Too bad we can't do a case study on this; we'd never find more than 5 Crapids fans. Haha $H!T :pooh:

Sure we can do a case study. All we have to do is study all 5 cRapids fans... that makes it very easy to have a zero margin of error study. Of course, I doubt that we will get much information out of JasonMas 4 inflatible friends. So really all we have to do is study him to get a clear understanding of every cRapid fan.

DC @ Colorado - 18,225
Columbus @ FSL - 15,804

So there must be, what, 4 FSL fans total?

BTW, you guys going to win a game one of these days? Even the "lowly" Rapids scored 3 on Columbus at home

That just goes to show that the people of the high plains will come out to see Freddy Adu play, but not the Colorado Rapids.

After the run-away favorite "no-talent ass clown" this has to be my favorite rip on JasonMa yet.
