I had a chance to take my 14-year-old son to the 59-0 clobbering of UCLA by BYU. It was amazing. It was 7-0 after one quarter, but in the second quarter it felt like there was a turnover on every Bruin possession. Even the receiving team fumbled it to BYU. Four touchdowns in six minutes by the Cougars. I had to pass on the chance to go to the BYU-Wyoming game, where I missed a 44-0 shutout, because we were going to the Real Salt Lake-Chivas game.
It was my first chance to see an MLS game in person. I enjoyed the atmosphere. There were more people there than I thought would be. I didn't hear the final call, but I would've guessed 10,000 people in attendance. Real Salt Lake lost the game 1-0. They lost on a major miscue between the goalie and a defender, where they wound up colliding, leaving a Chivas player all alone to kick the game's sole goal.
Pretty much every sport is better when you see it in person.
