Ancestral roots are in Colorado, but I grew up elsewhere. Moved to Colorado in '90, but then to WY in '01, back to Colorado in '03. Always a Rapids fan (since the inception of MLS).

Here we are one week into week 10 and no week 9 results. Here's how they all shook out. Week 9 Results.... Table Mountain Range 4 v. Vertigo 0 Independiente 0 v. RapidsFL 1 Quinn 0 V. City Hazmats 4 Dumfries Reavers 1 v. Cracovia 3 Week 10 matchups.... Table Mountain Range v. Cracovia RapidsFL v. City Hazmats In other league news, JasonMa is still leading even though he can't actively manage his team. Could this be a lesson in over coaching?
Actually as of last weekend I was back to actively managing my team. Of course, I had a crappy week and lost in the Cup, so your point may still stand...
I skipped out on week 10. Sorry. Here were the results... Table Mountain Range 3 v. Cracovia 1 RapidsFL 0 v. City Hazmats 3 Following that up with the week 11 finals between Table Mountain Range 2 v.
