In a promotion that they worked out with the Heart of America Council, Boy Scouts of America, the Kansas City Command managed to get 6,342 people into the seats at the Sprint Center. It has been a major promotion over the past couple of months, offering the members of Scouting in the Council discounted tickets to their game against the 4-3 San Antonio Talons. The Command at least gave the Scouts and die-hard fans something to cheer about during the first three quarters of the game, even giving them hope that this could be the team's first win of the season. But alas, after going into the fourth quarter with a 31-27 lead, they failed to score at all in the fourth, and allowed the Talons to score twice, giving the Talons the win and the Command record falling to 0-7.
Week Ten has the Kansas City Command away against division rivals, the Iowa Barnstormers. Iowa is coming off a loss to the Rush in Chicago. They are only 1-3 at home, but their home losses were against Chicago, San Jose and Utah, all who are having good seasons so far. Kansas City will be the first pitiful team that they are going to face at home, so as much as I would like to see KC get their first win, I have to go with Iowa. I just don't see KC breaking their losing streak against Iowa.
To be honest, the only chance I see for Kansas City get a win this season would be their upcoming away game versus the Pittsburgh Power. Pittsburgh is having a slightly better season than the Command, and they have only won one game at home so far this season. After that, they are back against the teams that have buried them all season so far. I fear that the final stat for the Command will be 1-15, and the owners will find themselves in a new battle ... to get dates in the Sprint Center as attendance will drop to all time lows.
