Stephanie Cox is on FSC tonight, 5 pm Pacific; 8 pm Eastern.

A Facebook update for the WPS informed me that Cox will be on the Fox Soccer Channel tonight 3/23 at 5 pm for their "Fone-In" portion of the show. Hopefully the information is correct. I think I'll try to tune in while doing some cardio...

These ads seem to be new for FSC. If one is made for Rapinoe or any other Pilot in the next few days, maybe someone can post it. Thanks...

Now....THAT'S....how to promote the WPS! Excellent Ad\Video! Thumbs up on that one!

NO skorts!

Looks like Abbey is back with even more attitude:

Here's the one for Shannon Box. Hopefully, Rapinoe is next...

I just have one question on that ad. Why wasn't she wearing the skort, or should I say wrap?

That is the only way you can get meatheads like me to watch women's sports!

Speaking of the infamous wrap, I found this gem yesterday:

Well, we didn't see the whole unveiling in that clip, but if that's an indication of the campaign Puma is going to put forth for the league, it's pretty sad.

In their defense they did only have like 4 months to throw that together... Typically something of that magnitude gets 18 from start to release.

I wouldn't fuss too much about the uniforms. Its the launch of the league in a down economy that has got me worried.

Yeah... survival is really the greatest concern right now...

Yeah, that's a good point. I was reading that they've already chosen Dallas as a future expansion site. They haven't seemed to have learned from the mistakes from the MLS. Instead of choosing an area with an area with great youth programs like Portland or Seattle, they seem to be choosing an area that's heavily latino (which is what the MLS Commissioner used to look for apparently when he sought out expansion markets). I hope it's a success, but, in places like Portland and Seattle...you can make it a family affair where the little girls in youth leagues can attend games. I don't get the choice of Dallas, but, live and learn I guess...

My hope was that WPS would have teams in areas where there's already a well established women's college soccer fan base, with the teams stocking players from their areas. Imagine a Portland WPS team drawing on graduates of Portland, Washington, Washington State, and Oregon (ok, and Oregon State and Portland State)! They would compete with a team drawing players from the Bay Area (Santa Clara, Stanford, Cal, etc.), with a Los Angeles area team (UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, San Diego, Loyola Marymount, etc.), with a North Carolina team (UNC, UNC Greensboro, UNC Wilmington, etc.), with a Florida team (FSU, Florida, UCF, etc), with a Great Lakes area team (Notre Dame, much of the Big 10), with a Philadelphia team (Penn State, Villanova, Rutgers, etc.), a Texas team somewhere (Texas, TAMU, etc.), and so on. In response to this concept over on BigSoccer someone said, "Well who would want to compete with the North Carolina team?" My thought was, "Well, we would, in yo' face!"

Especially since we have as good a claim as anyone to Marta and Cristian to pad the roster out.

thanks for trotting that one out again. Very amusing at it was before.
