I think we all expected that the transfer movement of the off-season was finished after that giant flurry of moves that came right before and up until the MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis. There hadn't been much movement and the team has already traveled to Dallas, so was there enough time to bring another player into… Continue reading Rapids Reportedly Trade For Danny Mwanga

During the months of January and February, Burgundy Wave had 127 posts. (Not counting this one.) If you look through the archives, you'll notice that I wrote about 95% of those posts. Though I do enjoy writing large amounts of words about the Rapids, going at a rate of two or three posts a day… Continue reading Burgundy Wave Is Looking For More Contributors!

Fortunately, all signs point to him being all right after all. He practiced with all of the other goalkeepers on Wednesday prior to the team's trip to Texas, and he wasn't exactly hobbling around the field during the drills he was participating in, either. Good signs, and hopefully a good omen come Saturday. Pickens is… Continue reading Then Again, Matt Pickens Might Not Miss The Season Opener

It was improvement, and that's what… Continue reading Ten Keys To 2013 – No. 4: Martin Rivero

If so, you're in luck, because the Rapids have now partnered with 7-Eleven, everyone's favorite convenience store. The biggest part of… Continue reading Rapids Partner With 7-Eleven Because Why Not

("I hate white jerseys!" totally doesn't count, even though I was never much of a fan of those white away strips they were wearing last year.) But there was never much praise either.
