Final Fishwrapper?!?
Quality news, before it smells
Nawww.... there will always be things our Grand Poobah needs to get off his chest. Look for the Fishwrapper to continue in the off-season. Now, let's just hope that doesn't come too soon.
First up, Ye Olde Grand Poobah announces that:
Tonight on From The Pitch, 1060 AM radio, from 6-8PM with Marcelo Balboa will be many fascinating characters.

Tailgating this week will start 3 hours before kick-off at 4PM. The Rocky Mountain Cup will be at the tailgate if you care to take a gander.
Hopefully, of course, we'll get one more tailgate in this season - but if not - let's be sure to make this one a doosey!!! Bring some great food and great attitudes to share.

The Grand Poobah announces that...
Bouna Coundoul wins 2007 Class VI Player of the Year.
Bouna will come over to Section 108 to accept the trophy after the game, so stick around and enjoy the spectacle and congratulate him on a fantastic year for the Rapids.

The Rocky Mountain Cup
This is the finale of the Rocky Mountain Cup competition for 2007, contested with our rivals from Utah - Fake Salt Lake! The Rapids need a tie or a win to keep the Cup trophy for the Rapids fans for the third consecutive year. For more information on the standings and competition, visit RockyMountainCup.com

Suddenly we have the most important week in MLS television history!
Here's a short list of critical games on TV that impact the Rapids' chances of pulling a Rockies and getting a last-minute invite to the play-offs.
- Thursday 9 PM on ESPN2 - NY vs LA - Go Red Bulls!
- Saturday 6:30 PM on Direct Kick - KC vs Dallas - Go Dallas Go! Heh, never thought we'd say that. Hopefully the Rapids will keep us up to date during the game.
- Sunday 1 PM on Telefutura - Chicago vs LA - if the Rapids win Saturday this game will almost certainly determine if we qualify or not!
I'm sure if we win Saturday night against FSL there will be a good size crowd at the British Bulldog on Sunday to cheer on LA. Gag. But only if LA loses Thursday. Otherwise we're looking for a tie. Something like that.

Grand Poobah Mark Bodmer has one more decree:
I'll see everyone Saturday at the tailgate - be sure to thank the people in CVI that have done so much work for us!
Tina - Road Trips, tailgates, and well just about everything
Bill - website and planning
Jeff - tailgating
Joe & Mary - PreSeason Party Fundraiser
Kelsey - Road Trips
Allen - Discussion Boards
Josh O - Soccer Team
Josh V - Events
Karen - Graphic Design
Patrick & Max - T-Shirts
Al - Chef
Dave - Chef & Tailgates
Lee - Tailgates
Marcus - Rapids Front Office Rep
I'm sure I'm missing out some people that certainly deserve pats on the back - CVI is successful because of these people - it takes a lot of work from a lot of people who have certainly given so very much.
Thank you all, too, for the donations that have kept CVI running!!!
Mark
