Colorado Rapids: Cup Winners, 2005

The Rocky Mountain Cup

Colorado Rapids vs Real Salt Lake
Annual Competition

Real Salt Lake

January 7, 2005

Announcing that:

Organizing via the website rockymountaincup.com, the committee is hereby revolutionarily formed as an ongoing ad-hoc organizing entity composed of soccer fans of the Real Salt Lake and Colorado Rapids' soccer clubs.

The "Committee of 10" as it shall be known is to be composed of members from the respective clubs fans whose election revolves as necessary on a volunteer basis, with new membership agreed upon by the Committee.

Responding to a desire among fans of the two clubs, the Committee hopes to provide a coordinated outlet for the expression of our collective enthusiasm as fans of soccer.

As it is apparent to all fans with even the rudiments of a higher brain stem that these clubs were meant to challenge each other, the Primary Mission of the Committee of 10 is clear:

...To develop, foster, and maintain a long-standing championship tournament and raucous, exuberant atmosphere among the fans of the respective clubs.

It is the hope of everyone involved with this effort that fans feel connected and involved with this quest, and are able to participate in all manner of development and work initiated by us.

In fulfilling our Mission, we also expect:

...First and foremost to be members in good standing of fan community, and to always listen and involve and create opportunities for every fan;

...To ensure appropriate celebratory elements and to stimulate a spirited but friendly rivalry between the two clubs;

...To allow the world to know in great, excruciating detail the tragedy of defeat and the exemplary joy of success when one club has clearly triumphed;

...To encourage a new and wickedly enjoyable opportunity to appreciate soccer in America, at least in the Rocky Mountain states where real men play.

And be it known that if that doesn't work, we're going to send annoying thoughts each other's way and then make up for such blasphemous mental burps with a round of drinks purchased by the losers at the nearest locally licensed or unlicensed establishment for such imbibing.
