What is The Trifecta you ask? You might be a member of The Trifecta and not even realize it. The Trifecta is a group of sports fans, largely from the Kansas City, Missouri area that support the University of Missouri Tigers, the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Kansas City Royals. If you don't support all three, then you are not a member of The Trifecta. If you do, then you are a member.
Why is there even such a group? Members of The Trifecta are constantly forced to engage in strategic alliances with some of their archrivals. For example, while supporting the Missouri Tigers, members of the Trifecta are often forced to align themselves with St. Louis Cardinals fans. Such alignment often causes extreme discomfort (and sometimes vomiting) for members of The Trifecta because, by definition, members of the Trifecta are Kansas City Royals fans. Similarly, during baseball season, members of The Trifecta are forced to ally themselves with kU fans. The severe mental anguish and cognitive dissonance this causes members of The Trifecta---Mizzou fans--- is simply indescribable.
So there you have it. This is a place for sports fans that love Mizzou, the Royals, and the Chiefs to come together. I will be posting a variety of topics and I encourage you to express your thoughts in the comments to each post.

Hank--I couldn't agree with you more. Adding to your opening thoughts I would like to point out that oftentimes kU fans will head to Royals games wearing a kU shirt and a Royals hat or STL Cardinal fans will be wearing a Cardinal hat with a Mizzou shirt at Mizzou games. If you are at a Mizzou game, wear Mizzou gear. A Chiefs game, then Chiefs gear. You get the point!
In a related vein: if you are a member of the Trifecta you have realized that it is painful to high-five a jayhawk after a Larry Johnson TD, or celebrate with a Cardinal after a spectacular Chase Coffman grab. That's why this blog was created. Here you are among other Trifecta and can openly bash anyone unlucky enough not to be part of this elite group. -- Bobby
