The crew looks back at the tie against Charlotte and forward to Portland

We're coming off a late draw at Houston and heading into a Rapidless, MLSless weekend. But big news broke today as the Pids signed Coach to a three year extension. 

We have a lot to look forward to this year, and a lot to mourn from last year. Following a fantastic season for the Rapids some fan favorites have dearly departed and some future fan favorites have suited up...such is the turnstyle life of sports fans.

Our credibility guy Brian saw the team in action in Orlando and he tells us what he's excited about as we look ahead to the second leg of the CCL and the season opener away to LA

Oh, and on Thursday, Marco had a couple questions for the Rapids media...

We're up!!!

We're down...

But then again, so is the entire damn league. Such is 2020

Let's talk an historic win at Rio Tinto, and a Rapids loss in Frisco. Then it's on to a double dip in California. 

Will the Rapids swing in time with the pendulum or can we eek out six points in the next week? Only time will tell

Well, Colorado is on fire, California is on fire, Oregon is on fire and Brendan just can't keep straight who the Rapids have been playing in the last two games. 

With the near impossibility of local viewing of our Pids and the charcoal in the air, we're all a bit blazed and confused these days.

Fortunately for all of us Brian remains, despite his ill-advised association with this podcast, a credentialed member of the Rapids Media. He was at the Dick on Wednesday and he's here to tell us all about it...and keep Brendan focused on the right opponents.

Thanks for sticking with us, COYPIDS!

In the spirit of 2020 lasting a thousand years, we look forward this week to Week 6 of the regular season. That's six weeks of league soccer in about as many months and naturally, it starts off with a Rocky Mountain Cup match. We discuss the merits of the rivalry amongst fans, player, and even the coach. 

With the abbreviated season just around the corner (for the Rapids), we fans are left once again in the doghouse with no real viable way (depending on your personal financial situation) to support our team. In this episode we offer Stan and Josh K. some reasonable ways to allow us to pay them money with very little effort on their part. 

We're not asking for any rules to be bent or healths to be compromised, we simply want to be grown ups that care about each other and our team.  

The Rapids are out of the #MLSIsBack Tournament in grand fashion after a draw to MNUFC brings them short of glory. So What happens next in 2020? Your guess is as good as ours, but unfortunately you don't have a microphone and a free podcast publishing account and we do. So here's all our thoughts on the last game potentially being the last game of the season...or the idea that an abbreviated season could still happen.

See ya when there's more to talk about.

And just as quickly as it started, the Rapids are headed home. The result of tonight's match with MNUFC can still matter, providing there's some sort of a regular season following the tournament. If the Pids pull off a win they will enter 2020 with 9 points and a shot at a respectable recovery.

But whatever happens tonight, we're bummed to be out of the #MLSisBack tourney.

Thanks for hanging with us

So, the Rapids choked on Sunday night. 

Not to be outdone by the team, your Rapids-centric podcast choked equally bad. The first half of the show (recapping RSL) has been lost to the sands of time.

We now join our podcast already in progress. Enjoy the preview of SKC.

We meet in studio ahead of the #MLSISBACK tournament to talk some sense into the MLS. Does this tournament need to happen? Does anyone else get the feeling that money is trumping human well being? We don't know, but people on twitter claim to. People on twitter know everything.

Brian had the chance to interview Acosta and Moor before they left the Centennial State. They give us some insight into isolation fitness and reclaiming the dominance they started the 2020 season with. 

Thanks, as always for joining us

MLS is racing to be the first major sport to resume play...but as a tournament contained entirely within the city of Orlando. The details are still forthcoming but it sounds like it'll be a two week knockout competition in the sweatiest part of summer. The players and staff will have to be quarantined and there won't likely be any fans allowed inside. Is this something that we should be excited about? Or is it just a tourniquet applied to try to stem the loss of passion? We all bleed Burgundy, but are we bleeding out?

Another footy free week like every other footy free week. We migrate to various areas of our houses to complain again about the absence of soccer in the world. Well, to be fair there's some Budesliga and something about Sex Dolls in South Korea? Brendan is up on all the erotic news around the globe, so lets leave that stuff to him.

Big question of the week is: If soccer came back in some kind of mini-remote-meaningless competition of third string player 2000 miles away and we can't even watch it on tv---would you care? 

Hang in there everyone. Maybe this will all end someday.

Another week of an indefinite number of weeks in quarantine and we're relegated once again to technology that vastly flies over our heads.

Brian interviewed Cole Bassett about his life in sequestration and tries desperately to tell us about it...it takes him awhile. He's so easily distracted. We spend the rest of the time chatting about other things, like how Altitude will probably screw us fans over anyway, and what's the interest level in some sort of Mutant Super League of all CONCACAF nations playing in one giant Pro/Rel league...It's just exhausting to think about.

Thanks for listening and say safe Rapids96

We take a modest step forward with technology this week and chat via Zoom, cuz that's what all the cool kids are doing. 

Without #Rapids96 news we talk future of the season and that of other sports either ongoing or coming up. It's all speculation, of course, but we ponder a life without soccer, a life without live soccer, and a life without soccer reporting.

We hope you're all safe and healthy in Rapids country. We can't wait to get back to the park.

This week the least technically savvy group of podcasters, dare I say, In the world, try to cast from our own individual homes.

We catch up with each other on our isolation activities and talk about our picks for the #Rapids96 All Time XI.

Thank you for bearing with us through the doubly rough period of fighting Coronavirus and our own technical shortcomings. We are working to increase quality for the next episode.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay Rapids.

The MLS is 25. The Rapids are 25. It's about time for that quarter life crisis. With the league being suspended along with the rest of life in America, and likely the world, maybe--I haven't really checked--the John Mayer prophecy has been fulfilled. 

As always us victory in the home opener last Saturday against Orlando City and all looked well for the season. We at least have that to talk about before it spins off into whether or not this pandemic is Generation Z's 9/11. That somehow transitions into a talk about who made the MLS' top 50 all time players and the suspicious lack of Rapids names on that list.

As always thank you for sticking with us. We now look into the soccerless void of the early spring and try to figure out what the heck we're gonna do to fill this time each week. Any suggestions? Send them our way @Currentpod on twitter or email currentpod@gmail.com

The Rapids came out of DC with three huge points to start the decade and are well on their way to living up to the hype of this new regime. We talk that fantabulous stoppage-time win and look ahead to an even more promising home opener. 

This team might just have found that elusive chemistry they've been promising us lo' these last several years. Will this be the year that 2016 was meant to be? But with flare and skill to replace luck and grit?

We have a Kortne Ford update and some roster news ahead of our prognostications on Orlando at the Dick

Thanks for checking us out and #COYP!!
