Ufc 184: Rousey Submits Zingano In 14 Seconds

A third of the way into the 2024 season, the Colorado Rapids are in fifth place in the Western Conference with as many wins as the entire 2023 campaign yielded. Most recent was a commanding 2-0 win at a formidable NYCFC team in the rain at Citi Field last Sunday, earned thanks to one of the team’s most complete defensive performances in recent memory. To secure three more points this Saturday at home against the San Jose Earthquakes, the Rapids would like to be as good or even better on both sides of the ball to emulate the reverse fixture less than a month ago, which ended in a 3-0 win for the Burgundy and Blue. Here are three notes from the Rapids’ media availability to preview a short week of preparation and why you shouldn’t count this weekend’s match against the West’s worst team as an easy win: Mihailovic heel progressing, other injury updates Several factors played into the impressive nature of the win at NYCFC — one of them being the quality of play despite Djordje Mihailovic having to miss the game due to a heel injury. Mihailovic was a participant in Tuesday’s short practice, but coach Chris Armas isn’t ready to say he will or will not play this weekend. “It’s one of those things with Djordje,” Armas said.

Tad Boyle is bringing a former teammate to Boulder.

Manning replaces Rick Ray, who spent four seasons at CU before taking an assistant role at Vanderbilt following a season that ended for the Buffs in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. “I’m very excited to join coach Boyle’s staff,” Manning said in a release from CU.
