Pre-match: Real Salt Lake - San Jose Earthquakes (Saturday, 6/23) pregame thread

Will Stahre still be leading the charge against RSL?

 

You get fired after the RSL game, not before it.

And FTR I think he'll be around for another few years at least.

 

Are you traveling to Salt Lake? This game is at Rio Tinto!

 

Believe it or not, the first time I had Pho was in Salt Lake - Mid-80s. I was living in Idaho Falls at the time, and SLC was where we went to the 'big city'.

 

You need to take them to Falafel’s Drive-in in San Jose!

 

There's a great falafel place in Westgate Mall as well!

 

Fixed your post.

 

I passed through Salt Lake City once, about 30 years ago, right after the bar exam, when I flew one way to St. Louis and drove back to the Bay Area with a friend who was in grad school in Berkeley. All the city's lodgings were booked for some reason, including any nearby KOAs, so we slept near the side of the road in the desert. Plus, it's the only city of any size in this country I've ever been to where there was a starkly sudden divide between the pretense of civilization and nothingness; the faint sprawl just stopped dead and then -- desert as far as the eye can see. I've never had a desire to go back, and Rio Tinto does not seem to be a sufficient draw. But, hey, if it's cosmopolitan now? What's the worst that can happen, I sleep in the desert?

 

On a horse with no name?

 

I've got that stupid song stuck in my head most of the day now (I slept in the desert on a horse with no name, blah, blah, blah, in the rain...)

Please remind me not to do that stuff :\

 

Ah yes, "You know I've been through the desert on a song with two chords"....

 

Hah, that's true - only two chords. I guess it was meant to represent the desolation / unending sameness of the desert.

 

I should rep you for this since you had our best interest at heart, but this made things worse :\

 

Maybe this will help?

 

better... today I like this:

 

Calling for another loss.

 

Negatory on that story!
