    A comment I got a while back suggested I start something like this and after thinking it over, I decided it would be really worthwhile to have a thread for all the Wizards blogs to link to their posts in -- similar to the share your pictures thread that gets a lot of action and attention. We really are lucky to have as many bloggers as we do, so for this first post I wanted to list them all (in alphabetical order)...

    The Back Post
    Baines Thought Collective
    Brad Porter's Blog
    Down the Byline
    Hillcrest Road
    Jimmy Conrad's Blog
    Kansas City Soccer Review
    KC Futbol
    KC Metro Soccer Newsletter
    Oz City Soccer
    Wings of a Sparrow

    Hope I didn't miss anyone. If so, please let me know and I will add it to the list. Hopefully the team gives all of us plenty of good things to write about in the second half of the season. Keep up the great work...

    Tuesday Newsday at Oz City. Previews for the reserves game, the juniors game tomorrow, and a stadium tidbit (don't get your hopes up).

    Thanks for opening this back up, Beech.

    Dadgumit, this links to an ESPN Insider chat with Conrad. I'm not an insider and I'm not going to be, so that's disappointing, not to be able to read it.

    how many of these blogs existed two years ago... or one year ago? it seemed like the wizards blog scene just exploded over a six month period of time.

    Just finished up a post on the Juniors. Compiled some mini-profiles on each of the players -- pertinent stats, awards, what high school they attended, and where they play in college with links to their bios.

    Great stuff, thanks. It looks like the U19's came from all over the Metro area. Blue Springs, Leawood, OP, Raytown. Good to see. Which of these guys is seen as the "best" player? Coleton Henning seems to be an interesting player from his bio, but has already had surgery on both knees. Willie Koss was with the U-20's in Korea, but is he really 5'5"?

    Mike, did your bro line up at RM for Drake this last year in a 4-4-2? Getting 6 and 6 as a freshman isn't bad at all.

    Left mid (he's a lefty). But yes, he started for the most part because an upper class man that would have competed with him got an injury and was red shirted, but even last year he would have given the guy a run for his money. The two of them will likely fight for PT on the left this year. Although Matt can play centrally and up top as well.

    Finally got something up on the Juniors match today. For a while it looked like the weather here was determined to deny me.

    Put some pics up and a link to a video interview with Conrad at the All Star Game.

    Is it just me or is Garber stiffing Jimmy on the handshake in the last pic?? :)
