    The Beavers franchise that moved to SLC had good support. I remember going to the PCL playoffs in '92 and the place was rocking. The San Diego affiliate that had shitty teams didn't draw dick....

    This was before Timbers were promoted up to MLS. Before that, they shared the stadium with PSU Vikings and Portland Beavers. Once the Timbers joined MLS, they were no longer allowed to share the field with other sports.

    The year that I worked there was the same year that Merritt Paulson purchased the team.

    I don't know about those days. My experience was more in the early 60s. They had much better teams then.

    The quality of the product has a lot to do with attendance.

    There was a Portland soccer team called the Timbers back in the late 70s and they played in Multhomah Stadium. I've also seen an OSU Beavers football game against the ASU Sun Devils back then in the same stadium.

    Why the element Boron?

    Of course the valence shell displayed is impossible. You've got five valence electrons in one shell, presumably an 'S' shell, that can only hold two. A 'P' shell could hold six, in which case this would be a Nitrogen atom with 7 electrons and 5 of them in the valence shell.

    Ha, I still remember some of my chemistry.

    It's too bad the Dallas Mavericks exist. I don't want to have a name that's anything like theirs.
