    Just thought it was time to start a new thread with the appropriate name and the current year.

    Just noticed we've been promoted again on www.kansascity.com/sports

    A while back, Sporting KC was moved to the "other" section, about halfway down, basically ensuring that no one would ever click on the link from the main sports page. I noticed last night that now we're back next to the Chiefs and Royals, and before the colleges.

    I'm sure you had something to do with it :D - really appreciate the inroads you've made there. I'm sure it's come with quite a bit of personal sacrifice.

    Honestly, I would've seen it earlier, but as soon as I type the letter "k" on my keyboard, I get the full 90's link. You passed gmail the other day, and are 2nd on my google chrome suggested list. The first is google itself.

    Full 90 is my number 3 on the my speed dial. Its not number 3 because its less important than 1 and 2, I've just never bother to fix it. I mean, my number 1 is still "Welcome to Opera" and I've just never bothered/ noticed to fix it.

    I must profess that I don't have the other blogs on my speeddial. Not because I don't check them regularly, but rather, I click on Full 90 and then scroll to the links and start clicking on each one with mouse 3 (open them in tabs). Then start checking on everything from left to right. I have it down to a science.

    Gooch, I appreciate your placement of the links. The first 5 are always the ones I check.

    For me it's like The Full 90 is the Star's home page, then I go check the rest of the news (read less important) after. I use a combination of bookmarks, blogrolls, and suggestive typing to get around for my Wizzing needs

    As the anon commenter said, I am not showing up to that on Valentine's Day, plus it shoulda been Hillcrest Road.

    Why? Makes no sense - there's no hill, Bannister is dead, it's a Missouri street that already exists. All that's left w that name is the ISG and a blog. We can't even say it's much history, it all happened what 3,4 years ago at most?

    I thought we were always joking that they'd name a road Hillcrest just so they wouldn't have to change the name of the blog.

    Ugh. A street name? I'm ready for some real news.

    What's our schedule? When will jerseys be available for purchase? Who's our sponsor? When will our season tickets go in the mail?

    We're less than two months out. Let's go.

    I thought I read somewhere that the full schedule would be out in early February.

    Cool, just not much of a case for Hillcrest as an alternative. Something with Lamar Hunt etc I could get behind more.

    The Lamar Hunt Stadium or Hunt Park would have been so awesome.

    Re: Sporting Kansas City in the Media: 2011

    Yeah, hold your breath for that...

    That decision would require all of the following:

    *humility
    *reverance for history
    *an ability to accept that something existed before you razed everything to bebuild in your image
    *forgoing naming rights dollars and/or finding a corporation OK with sharing the name for free...

    As exactly none of the above exists...

    The only one that has an outside shot of ever existing would be humility. For that to happen might take a firing or six, a "restructuring", an extreme health event or two among ownership, and roughly 10-20 years of losing games and eventually current income. I say current income instead of overall profit as WyCo gifts all but guaranteed even the very worst will still be a profitable situation on many levels for ownership.

    Actually all of the Authentic Jerseys have a patch inside with a dedication to Lamar. Big LH front and center. Maybe they deserve a little more credit than you are willing to give them.

    Not to mention the continued Lamar Hunt nights when FC Dallas come to town, or the year we wore special jerseys for that one game.

    I'm not sure that game was televised. So, *cough* IF YOU DON'T ATTEND GAMES *cough* you may have missed that one.

    Your a Vikings fan. Do you bash their ownership in the same way?

    They are threatening to move the team in order get a new stadium built and they have an existing stadium.

    They paid their top rivals best all-time player over 40 million dollars to come play for them and constantly do their best to acquire Packers and Bears players - Not exactly reverance of history if you ask me.

    They pump in fake crowd noise through the speakers as well. - complete joke

    I don't know enough re: Vikes owners to comment, much less draw a parallel to a minor sport.

    All of that happened previous to killing KCW history, right?

    If your founder dies as a revered person in innumerable circles and your business is public, who doesn't take a moment? Not panning it, but bare minimum is what it is.

    <McFly> Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out that he'd melt my brain </McFly>

    You cant kill history. Rebrand just rebranded any future KCW history to SKC history. They could have disbanded the team and wouldnt be killing history, only the future.

    Just a new name, or colors, its still the same team.

    You can't kill history, smart guy.

    Well, unless you have a time machine.
