After my planned one day adventure into the Timbers Army, I felt that, on derby day, it would only be proper to represent the team and city that I love and sit with the regular fans. As expected, I was not antagonized, probably because it was very wet and kinda cold, so I was covered up most of the game. I found out after, from my hosts, that people were wondering where I was.
As for the game itself, the recap has already been done, but perhaps the most ominous thing was that it was essentially Portland’s starting 11 vs (what I hope isn’t) our starting 11 with Nerwinski at RB.
