BTW, if Fraser were to get just 11 points in the final 32 games of 2020 (assuming they get played) he'd still have a better career PPG than Hudson.

Riccardo55 · Apr 11, 2020

It is sad how few years of 1.5 (wins=losses, not ties) or even 1.33 (W=L=T). We have never won the Shield (Pablo came close) and we won our MLS Cup via the eastern conference......Sigh. They say catchers make good managers based on their role. Call the pitches, see the field well. Maybe central midfielders in soccer as they see the field their entire career.

Reviewing how many bad season we have had, and how our good teams always got dismantled, I wonder why I am still a supporter. Sure I let my season tickets lapse two years ago, just get single game now, and I wear my Kamara jersey on Game Day (big believer in someone to stretch the field) around town or where ever. I think the 1999 team was my favorite in the first half, going 11-2-2 or something. Then they got rid of Hahnemann in June (old story, his last game he tossed his goalie gloves into the River Ratz, and I caught one of them. May still have it). That year, they slipped to like third or fourth place. Not a fun second half. I have a colleague ex-collegiate swimmer describe his Triathlon experience just like that "I get out of the water in the top 3, then the rest of the day I get passed over and over by runners and cyclists."

For me, it’s more than just results on the field. Being a supporter of the Rapids has been part of my entire life.

I’ll never forget when my grandma took me to my first soccer games when I was a “wee lad” in the Rapids early seasons. Heck, I still have a roster poster with all the teams pictures on it and their signatures from ‘96 and from ‘98 laying around somewhere.

I have fond memories at Invesco Field at Mile High meeting players, chanting along in the supporters section (One that comes to mind that I probably shouldn’t remember “he’s big, he’s fat, they put him in the back Zach Thornton...whenever he would come to town), the joy of goals being scored, the heartbreak of the loss, the tailgates...the list goes on.

Speaking of, both my grandma and I live in AZ now, and still watch the games together. She’ll even be coming over tonight, and her, my wife, and I will enjoy dinner together and watch the Rapids play.

I’ll always be a supporter of the team, not because they are great - but because they’ve been great to me.

BTW, Fraser needs 3 points the rest of the season to keep his all-time pts/game above Pablo and Clavijo. He's already guaranteed to finish above Hudson.

JasonMa · Sep 24, 2020

In fact, with last night's win Fraser is up to 34 total points with the Rapids. Hudson had 33 points in his whole Rapids career.

@JasonMa thanks for keeping these stats up. Small sample size says we shouldn't get too excited about having Fraser yet.

Having said that, I'm glad he's the Rapids coach. Although I disagreed with his lineup last night, overall he's done a very good job with a still-coming-together roster in this craziest of seasons. If we can get or grow the striker and CB we need and figure out how to deploy the midfield to provide a bit of cover for the back 4, we can be even better next season.

JasonMa · Nov 23, 2020

Small sample size, yes, but if Fraser manages to get 1 PPG next season he'll finish the season above Pareja's and Hankinson's career PPG. I feel fairly confident in predicting he'll do that much. Being the 4th best coach (3rd best non-interim) coach after 59 games is notable.

Fraser already has enough points to finish ahead of Cooke even if we lose the rest of the games this season. He needs 8 more points to finish ahead of Houghton, 15 to stay ahead of Clavijo, 17 to stay ahead of Mastroeni, 22 to stay ahead of Hankinson/Pareja, 28 to stay ahead of Casey, 29 to stay ahead of Mooch, and 30 more points to stay on top.

Paranoid Coyote · May 23, 2021

Fraser has 11 more games until he's coached the same number as Hudson, so why does it feel like Hudson coached 3 times as long?

I think he's been messing around with the Stargate in Cheyenne Mountain.

Fraser is guaranteed to finish this season no worse than 7th all-time in PPG for Rapids coaches (just the barest smidge ahead of Pablo). He needs 14 points in the last 18 games to retain the top spot.

At that point he'll be 7th all-time in games coached, but after passing Pareja early next season its not going to be until almost the middle of 2023 before he passes anyone else (Smith) on total games. But if he makes it all the way through 2023 he'll be one game behind Mooch for most games managed.
