Timber, indeed
To say the Dips crashed to the ground hard and fast in the second half of their 1977 match in Portland would be an understatement. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GUHGAwJ-GY
Growing up in the DC area during the 70s, the Dips were the only game in town during the summer months. Their evolution from playing at a suburban Virginia high school to RFK Stadium was both exciting and maddening from a fan's point of view. No other team would send players to local malls trying to drum up an audience. Yet the players who made these appearances were always friendly and glad to talk to a kid who idolized professional athletes. If you have any Dips memories or mementos you would like to share, please send them to jreed65844@aol.com.
