Thanks Arelius(II)

Did you see this part?

the game against Colorado was on ESPN2. That broadcast earned a 0.3 national rating, meaning around 257,000 people were watching.

Good stuff for RSL and the league! Does not say how it stacks up against other teams but it looks good nonetheless!

What that means is that 257,000 people around the country saw what soccer in Utah is all about, the passion and intensity -- and yes, gratitude that we feel for having the world’s greatest game here in our state.

"Ticket sales for the U.S. national team's World Cup Qualifying match, being played as a doubleheader with RSL's game against Dallas, have reached 20,000. General manager Steve Pastorino expects the game to be sold out before the June 4 game. Tickets will be available for every seat at Rice-Eccles Stadium, not just for the 24,496 seats that RSL limits the stadium's capacity to for home games. "

That's what I like to hear!!!

Does anyone know how that compares to other ESPN2 games in the past? Is that high or low?

Friday started off early! And by early I mean I was at Rice-Eccles Stadium at 6:30 a.m. No, training did not start at 6:30 a.m., but Allie Mac Kay and the KUTV Channel 2 news team dedicated the morning show to us and had myself, Brian Dunseth, Andy Williams, and Coach E all making appearances throughout the morning. The news pieces went great and were very funny, and I also think we might have found a love connection between Allie and our very own Brian Dunseth. (Scroll down to Tuesday April 19, 2005 for more on this one.)

Tuesday April 19, 2005
This is where the Brian Dunseth and Allie Mac Kay love connection rekindled. See, Brian and I were asked to go into the 97.1 FM radio station this morning and do a short on-air interview. All was going well until the issue of Brian being a "dreamboat," as someone in the room described him, prompted me to tell the story about Allie and Brian hitting it off during our recent TV interview with KUTV Channel 2. What no one knew was that "DB", one of the on-air radio personalities with us, is one of Allie's friends. So Allie sends DB a text message saying "Give Brian my number and tell him hey for me!" So this gets read out on-air to all the listeners making their morning commute to work and causes Brian to turn beat red. Anyway, I think we're still a few dates away from them being "Happily Ever After," but I will take some responsibility of being a true "Wingman" by making the comment that lead to Brian getting her number. (I'm totally blowing this whole love connection thing out of proportion, but I have the liberty to do that, so I am going to take full advantage of making a bigger scene than what may really be. But thanks for the daytime soap opera-ish romantic love story, Brian.)


“Saturday night concluded with an after-party thrown at the Skybox by Mr. Checketts, and it was a blast. Everyone was in a good mood and the entertainment that night was awesome.”

Wish I would have known…

You and me both.

I agree. I would have loved a chance to meet AJ Feeley's girlfriend. Go 'fins.
