Thanks for the update!

Am really pleased that the Revs match was changed... now I only have to think up a brilliant excuse to get out of class for ONE Wednesday game in the fall.

The schedule has only been out less than a month and they have made three changes already? Crazy.

Why did they change the OCT game from a Sat to a Thurs?

I also thought that the Labor Day game would have been fun on that day instead of the Sat. Most people leave town that Fri as it is the last weekend of the summer(supposedly) season and don't get back till Monday. That is why I think the Monday game would have been better.

Does anyone know why these changes were made in the first place? 😕

GOReAL!!!!!!

Ellinger nixed the idea (wisely) of swapping dates with the cRapids in Oct. That game was moved to Thursday because of U of U pointyball but Ellinger insisted on finishing the season at home like the original schedule dictated.

Good for him. If we can't start the season at home, we should at least get to finish it at home. And we should have the last game of the series that will decide the RMC on our pitch, not theirs.
