Shock the World campaing hits the $175 million mark.

Weird I didn't see it mention that CK funded it all by himself. No way they raised 175M through the alleged WSU alumni, friends and partners, whom we all know don't exist.

“We are grateful for the generous support of WSU alumni, friends and partners who helped us achieve this milestone,” said Elizabeth King, WSU Foundation president and CEO. “While we enjoy this success, we look forward to celebrating with all Shockers when the full goal of $250 million has been reached.”

Who raised the $175 M

Dave Stalwart, I have a big problem with this recent post of yours: Weird I didn't see it mention that CK funded it all by himself. No way they raised 175M through the alleged WSU alumni, friends and partners, whom we all know don't exist.

Normally, you have positive things to say about WSU, but this is not such a case. You ought to get yourself more familiar with the work of the WSU Foundation that is led by CEO Elizabeth King. If so, you would then get regular updates on their work which would then refute your use of the word, "alleged".

I think you and Dave are in agreement. I think he's making a sarcastic response to people who act like Koch is our only financial supporter.

He's sarcastically poked fun at the whole "Charles Koch pays for everything" mantra quite often.

quite often.

When I made that one, I even paused for a second, thinking "maybe I've overdone this"

but then I quickly stooped back down to my usual levels of class and posted it anyway. I was pretty proud of myself.

Understand WSU billboards are located in Dallas and possibly other AAC schools.
Would like to see billboards just north of the OK state line as well along the turnpike from KC "Welcome to Shocker Country."
A lot of B12 traffic uses I-35. Lets advertise our in-state tuition.

Anyone have a picture of the Dallas Shocker billboard?

Since Dallas-area students can get in-state tuition at Wichita State, I'm guessing that is the reason the billboard was put up in Dallas and probably won't be put up in the other AAC cities.

Would like to see billboards just north of the OK state line... "Welcome to Shocker Country."

Someone on SN just posted a picture of essentially just that, in the last week or so, only it said "Welcome to Shocker Nation". On the Kansas Turnpike near the KS/OK border.

Excited about these new wheels getting ready to hit the streets in OKC & Tulsa, Dallas and Kansas City soon. #ShockerNation, let's roll out!

I like the move. Maybe they can level Fairmount and put in a parking garage. I would have no problem paying a few bucks to park that close to the games. I'm walking from Eck Stadium now anytime there is a game on a school night.

They should make The Flats the dormitory for athletes.
