phxcat, you must accept the fact that in KSU's football history of what, nearly 100 years, 90 of them were the "lean" years. Thus, until 1990 or so, NOONE gave a rat's arse about KSU football except a minute number of alumni fossils. That is my point. 99% of today's KSU "fans" didn't even acknowledge KSU football prior to the Snyder era....and that was a 90 year period of time.

STL supported the Big Red as much, and probably MORE than KC supported the Chiefs. What STL did NOT support was an owner that had NO DESIRE to build a winner. Bidwill was only in it to make some money. To show you how smart STL was dumping his butt, just take a look at how he is screwing the fossils in Arizona. They were all excited about the Big Red coming to town, and guess what, they've been treated to the same sheite that STL had to endure.
STL did not support Bidwill cuz they are a smart sports crowd down there. Look what they have now...a nice team that strives to be the best and has become the best.
STL is not the football capital of the world by any means, BUT it is a solid football town and has supported the Rams from day one.....just like KC supported the Chiefs when they moved to KC from Dallas.
I sometimes wonder how much of a football town this place would be had the Chiefs not won a SB in it's first 5 years in town.
