As a former goalie, I relished shootouts. It's a no lose situation really. You are not supposed to get the stop, but if you do, you're a hero. Yesterday I was on the opposite side, watching from the sidelines, helpless to the outcome and believe me when I say, I hate shootouts now.

Cruelist way to lose a match that has ever been created.

Let's talk about the match shall we.... read more »

Who's heading to the match and does anyone want to meet early for some brews? Hit me on my cell:

303-907-1873 - I will not respond to any anti-Bama texts or calls, ok Kerr?

After a night to sleep on it, I am still pissed. I hate Metro. I hate there 20 fans. I hate their girl's team, and I hate their ex-players who never did anything against us, yet keep talking. read more »

For those of you that do not know, that is a quote from Jonah Hill's character, Seth in the movie, "Superbad".

It is that time of year again, my favorite road game. Metro. Away. Yes, Mines is a great rivalry too but for some reason 200 dudes waving their TI-83 calculators at me has never been all that fun. I do love playing Metro, especially in the fall in the heart of downtown Denver. While Metro does not have fancy calculators, they do have GEDs and they keep them in their cars because it is a commuter school afterall. read more »

On a chilly night in southern Denver, the 2009 Fort Lewis Men's team took a final curtain call. Division 1 University of Denver had requested to christen their new stadium against Fort Lewis College, but not the upcoming 2010 version, they wanted a shot at the champs. Queue the 'Rocky' music.

It was good seeing the boys back out there sans Settle and Sam. We did see some new wrinkles out on the starting line up with Keane alongside Thomas Hoang in the middle and Cory Dean outside right. Blackwell filled in as the new leftback position. The starting lineup to the best of my memory was, Euan, Barden, Dimo, Keane, Hoang, Dean, Wood, Jamie, Fabian, Blackwell and Zane.  read more »

I'd like to start by saying 2009-2010 sports season my have been the best of my life as a fan. Not only did the Fort run the table, but my University of Alabama Crimson Tide ended our 17 year painful dry run and claimed the whole damn thing too. I am in Tampa currently and met up with an old friend of mine who played right back for Tampa the past few seasons. In speaking with him and fellow former/current UT soccer players, they loved watching the Fort play due to the style and fluid nature of our game. They wish they could of pulled their heads out against Lees McCrae in the Elite 8, I told them I would let them see a national championship ring if they really wanted to.  read more »

Holy crap, check this video out. My buddy works for the Mountain Sports Network and was at this game. He said it was unreal.

Nutz, did you coach this girl in your brief stint at UNM!?!

If anyone has looked at the All RMAC selections, please tell me I am not the only one who is a little upset.

First, Euan had 17 goals, the closest behind him was a Mines player with 12. His total points during the season was 37, the next closest was 28, which was Settle. AND THIS IS ONLY IN 14 GAMES! How does a Metro player who was 4th in points and 3rd in goals get the OFFENSIVE player of the year award?
