Graham Zusi and several partners rode down Jayhawk Boulevard Wednesday afternoon in a large van with decals obscuring the windows, looking for a victim.
we want that generation to adopt Sporting as their team."
They found a student walking back.
Martin Ramos, a senior from Chanute, adopted Sporting a year ago and came to see the practice despite having never attended a Sporting game.
"Since the World Cup, I've been attracted to soccer, and I just needed that fix," Ramos said. "Sporting KC kind of gives me that."

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO... Level with a Brazilian Druglord //AS TOLD TO JOHN GARFIELD BY SARAH STERN
During the course of a photo assignment in Rio de Janeiro, Sarah Stern, junior from Lawrence, found herself in a precarious situation after irritating the local drug runners.
Rocinha was run by the drug traffickers, the mother-of-all Rio slums. It was, however, the home of an uncommon, dignified and improvisational brand of beauty. The resilient and jubilant population offered a sharp contrast to the dire circumstances of their survival.
For my two partners and me, capturing that beauty on film was a careful game of trying not to step on toes. The cameras drew apprehension from the gang-bangers, and a temporary lapse of judgment cost one of my partners his equipment.
He had ignored advice never to shoot without a guide, and had thoughtlessly captured a dealer on film. We had heard horror stories of a murder following a similar incident, but I felt we had nothing to fear. We were no narcs, but a steady uneasiness nagged at me the days after.
I spread word of our good intentions, asking around for a chance to meet the man who ruled Rocinha.
Through broken Portuguese patched with Spanish, I had finally arranged to meet with "Nem," the leader of the local gang. We were led up through the winding, crowded streets of the slum, to a gigantic party where I joined the crowd in Samba to ease the tension of waiting.
Called out of the crowd, we ascended to our audience and were greeted by an unassuming character. He seemed tame collected. A young, well-dressed man, he listened politely as I explained our good intentions and my partner's unfortunate oversight.
He was kind and receptive, and ordered the camera returned so that we could continue to document his kingdom. I enjoyed a breath of relief and returned to the party to dance.
Months later, at home in America, I saw his face on the news. Antonio Lopes, one of the most wanted criminals in Latin America, was on trial and linked to dozens of murders. In hindsight, the situation might have jarred me, but I was 20, American, by no means did I imagine I could have died there, by the hand of a drug kingpin.

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO... Have Lyme disease //AS TOLD TO KELSEA ECKENROTH BY SAMMI WHITCUP
Sammii will probably have the disease the rest of her life, but has had no serious side effects.
Sammi Whitcup, a junior from Vienna, Va., was a junior in high school when she found out she had Lyme disease, a bacterial infection transmitted by a tick bite. Whitcup doesn't know when she got the disease, but has had it for more than seven years.
I started showing symptoms in junior high and didn't know what it was. The symptoms are vague, but my left knee kept swelling and I had no idea why. I was tired all the time and my dad wouldn't be able to wake me up for school. The symptoms got worse by the time I was in high school, so I went to the doctor and got a blood test done. Blood tests aren't always accurate and sometimes give a false negative, so the doctor drained fluid out of my knee and tested it for Lyme disease. The test came out positive.
My family was in the room with me when I found out. We were all really shocked and asked the doctor all kinds of questions like if there was treatment or if I would be able to be cured. I didn't know if I was going to die or how serious
the disease was. My initial thought was that it would kill me. I don't even recall ever having a tick bite. I went to camp a lot growing up and Virginia has a lot of woods and trees, but I don't know where I got the disease. The doctor told me there's treatment for it, but it's experimental treatment. I've had Lyme disease for so long that it's chronic, so I'm going to have it for the rest of my life. I'm lucky because Lyme disease can also affect your brain and spine, but it only affected my major knee joint.
