			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An open letter to Clark Hunt&#8230;</p>
<p>You dont know me from adam.  I am just another one of those nameless pundant/fans that used to flock to your stadium to watch the Hoops&#8230;FCD..or whatever they are called these days.  The last two games have been great.  We have won.  We have played soccer the way that the bus driver wants to see.  PLEASE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!</p>
<p>I have told Hitch before all we have to do is win.  WE ARE DOING IT NOW!  CAPITALIZE!  Build your advertising around Jeff.  For the love of God he just became the 3rd leader scorer in MLS history.  I would be putting that in every ad possible.  You have been given something to rally fans behind.  It is really getting sad looking on TV and seeing a less than 1/2 full stadium.  Now is the time to spend some money with this tide of a two game win streak behind us.</p>
<p>Now on to something much more embarrassing.  I am not a hordicultural expert but I know a bad pitch when I see one.  Clark we are supposed to be a &#8220;Major&#8221; league team.  Why does the Dr. Pink field look better than the pitch in the main stadium?  I know that field has had a new pitch within the last two years.  I know that you make money from having tournaments and other events on those fields.  But Clark how does it look when we are on regional and sometimes national tv and the ball looks like it just hit a sand pit on the back 9.  Tonight about 1/2 way through the second half a ball played by Kai Kimoura from Houston got sucked into a divot in the pitch that just made the ball stop cause there was no pitch to stop it.  Please it is embarrassing that the team seems to be showing the promise that we all hoped that they had while doing it on a pitch that is worse than some of the rec fields that I have seen.</p>
<p>Please help us.  We the fans that have left the fold want to come back.  But we want you to show us that you care about the team as much as we do.  I know that you love the game.  I know that there have been rumors of you putting a bid in for West Ham.  Please as the great Charles Emmerson Winchester the Third has stated many times do one thing&#8230;.do it very well&#8230;.and then move on.  Please take advise when you are considering adding teams&#8230;..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was browsing the offside the other day and saw that we havent had an update in forever.  So I was thinking self&#8230;.you can do this!  And here I am.  For a little information on me&#8230;My name is Scott Messerle.  i am a 35 year old father of 2 little girls.  You can on most Saturdays find me on one of the many soccer fields in the metroplex.  I have a 9 year old Hope Solo in waiting.  I have been a season ticket holder for 2 years in 108/10.  I will be sitting next to the 10 year old screaming that the Hoops opponents are dirty cheaters. Depending on what season it is you will either find me wearing Chelsea blue or the Hoops.  </p>
<p>So thats enough for the introduction&#8230;will be back later for the first post of my reign!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It looks like the Hoops may finally land a coveted shirt sponsor; <a href="http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/spt/stories/091808dnspofcdbriefs.19fb26f.html">The Dallas News</a> is reporting that the Hoops are in the process of negotiating a five year deal with a few unnamed sponsors. But it doesn’t sound like things are going smoothly </p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;As far as a timeline, we&#8217;d like it to get it done with the right company as soon as possible,&#8221; Hitchcock said. &#8220;But we are also not in the position where we are pushing ourselves to make a bad decision and bring a bad company.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Well GM Hitchcock allow me to speed up the process and present you with the “right company.” Introducing Candlewick Press!</p>
<p><img src="http://dallas.theoffside.com/files/2008/09/logo.gif" alt="Candlewick" width="435" height="58" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-212" /></p>
<p>Not only is Candlewick one of the most storied children’s book publisher in Somerville, Massachusetts, it’s also the publisher of the award winning Where‘s Waldo? series.</p>
<p>Since Waldo is already wearing a Hoops shirt we won’t need to disfigure our shirt by printing an out of place sponsor name on it (looking at you Chicago). Instead we can just throw Waldo hats on the all the players and we’re set. And the best part is we already have a Waldo mascot on our roster.<span id="more-204"></span></p>
