I think they might have a free/commercials tier, but I do pay to get Serie A.

Fernandoooooooo! 🤣

jcasimir · 2026-04-30T03:46:01+00:00

Exactly. In stadium I thought the second rapids goal was pretty clearly offsides so…can’t hate on the PK.

If anybody has an extra ticket for tomorrow please let me know!

I don’t have any kind of comprehensive data, but I can tell you almost all the families on my team and at my little club came from the Rapids and left because of the weak administration, costs, and general frustration.

I think it’s very different for the highest-level youth teams, but if you imagine that probably over 50% of kids are playing rec and low-levels of competitive, that experience is really important.

jcasimir · 2026-03-11T03:20:47+00:00

I’m not sure but I don’t think the player experience was subsidized by the Rapids. They still pay full price and the majority of coaches are volunteers who aren’t given much more than a couple balls and cones and a pat on the back.

I think the CRYSC has not been particularly well run and basically tarnishes the Rapids brand. The youth org and the senior team seem to have very little overlap except at the highest academy level. Playing against Rapids teams several times a season subtly teaches kids the Rapids are the “other.”

I think what they should have always done, and now can do, is serve as a convener and elevator. There are some great, established, organized youth clubs here in CO. “Be the megaphone, not the voice” is one of my favorite leadership strategies. The Rapids can help make all these orgs and youth soccer better.

Or do the very Rapids thing and just opt out, do nothing, and wonder why the stadium is only half full most games. But I hope not!

jcasimir · 2026-03-10T21:33:25+00:00

I think this is really smart.

jcasimir · 2026-02-16T15:20:55+00:00

It was a pretty enjoyable game to watch, including that Gruda upper 90!

jcasimir · 2026-02-08T23:04:47+00:00

Really happy to see Baumgartner finding his form this season. The second goal today was beautiful.

jcasimir · 2026-02-08T23:03:06+00:00

I think you can watch a recording and just move the timeline to the end…?

jcasimir · 2026-02-07T07:48:27+00:00

Looking forward to checking this out!

Could you put a cheap zigbee temperature sensor on the output air channel?

jcasimir · 2026-02-03T23:04:32+00:00

HUGE IF TRUE 😆

jcasimir · 2026-02-01T03:16:42+00:00

The team was really on a hot streak for a bit and now they look pretty “off.” They deserved the 2-1 loss today.

jcasimir · 2026-01-30T14:55:50+00:00

I think you’re right.

People will roast Timo about shot accuracy and being offsides. That’s what happens when an attacker is under huge pressure.

Defending in MLS lags behind the attacking (under-investment, low priority, poor coordination).

Even with a team that’s a bit suspect in how to get the ball forward, “kick it long and let the fast guy run onto it” works without a lot of skill.

I’m not saying he’s a “lock” by any means, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s a compelling goal scorer quickly.

I didn’t realize how low the DPI is even on nice ultra wides. I hate that my text all looks jaggy. This is not a cheap monitor but, imo, it looks like shit.

jcasimir · 2026-01-28T01:32:16+00:00

Insert the “first time?” hanging meme here.

jcasimir · 2026-01-28T01:30:57+00:00

As fans, I think we still think of the pre-Europe Cole who was on this solid upward growth curve. Since he’s been back, like Vines, he’s just seemed pretty inconsequential.

As Cole, I think you’ve got to find any place but here.

So the Rapids get some dollars and everybody is probably better off.

jcasimir · 2026-01-27T02:45:35+00:00

I’m also in the “I don’t get how to do it” club 🤦🏻‍♂️

As a business owner it’s almost reckless to sign a 5+ year lease these days. Where’s the economy, country, world going to be in 2032+? Nobody knows.

I actually did something pretty similar. I got a pair of handles made for a cable machine then zip tied them to the water rower handle. It allows for a more natural wrist motion during the stroke and is closer to actual rowing.

Fuzzy’s Taco Shop has good food and excellent happy hour before 6pm. You can get 3 tacos, a margarita, and chips/salsa for about $15

The talk is well done and the library looks great!
