Shoutout Peter 👊

Alex Harris on the second half comeback:

"He (Erik Bushey) inspired us. We didn't want to end our season playing like that. He drilled in us. 'Leave a legacy.' We were able to do that."

"Came out in the second half firing. Rattled off two goals and held on to win."

One last shot at the Richard to end the MLS and MLS Next Pro season. No better way to end it than seeing Rapids 2 win the Western Conference Championship!

Not to be left out: Malik Pinto, Bryce Jamison and Orange County Soccer Club keep their postseason going in Pens.

We are witnessing a star being born. 💫

Billo Diop is a Lion de la Teranga in the truest sense; and, to borrow his mantra, “God Willing, there will be more goals.”

"Come on now, don't ask dumb questions."

Alex Harris apologizes & doubles down on Josh Atencio. That & more, as @5280keith.bsky.social cohosts, in our conversation with the #Rapids96 Ivy League Messi.

YouTube video by Bangarang Thank You, Chris Armas.

“Can’t be overlooked”, “Can’t be taken for granted”, “Really grateful you chose us, the Colorado Rapids.” 


We felt best to let other’s words, Pádraig Smith & Reggie Cannon, describe the Chris Armas Era; and, Chris' voice articulate the person we were fortunate to know.

Thank you, Chris. #Rapids96

#Our2 back in the MLS Next Pro Western Conference Final.

Erik Bushey’s 2nd WCF in 3 years as R2 HC.

Rapidos vs Loony Twos.

November soccer in Commerce City, Y’all.

Half: 1-1

- Call & Response goals are the scoreline.
- R2 has been able to work the ball around V2’s 18, close, but need a dagger to swing momentum.
- Game has gotten chippy. 2nd Half could get interesting.
- Camp has had some nice saves, Harper & Rinaldi clears.
- 🔮 Cameron is getting a goal.

Rapids 2Head Coach Erik Bushey on why his team can and will win the 2025 MLS NEXT Pro Cup. #Rapids96

However sorely this campaign ended, it’s still unreal I get to call this work.

This year taught me more than any other and has been stressful, but equally rewarding. The people pictured, and all you who read and listen, make it worth the long days.

Season three ✅

03/12/22. The boss at @teamnbsmedia.bsky.social hit me up about attending a Rapids match. It was my infancy of football love. Four years later, football is my favorite sport to watch/consume. Along the way, I’ve met some amazing people to do this with and get me out of bed. No One Good FC!

Its Decision Day! We dreamed of things so impossible. No, it’s time to remember to breathe and everything will be okay.

#Rapids96

Like Darren Yapi, hope you had peanut butter, banana & honey toast to prep for tonight's big #rapids96 Decision Day.

Brendan Aaronson on his brother Paxten:

It’s a bonus being able to see him here, and he got to show me around. Got to go see his apartment. I can tell that Denver is an amazing city.

I'm really happy for him. I think it's a huge step in his life. He’s doing amazing so far.
