I don't think I made a thread or post here when I joined last year. I am a 1984 graduate of WSU. I love basketball, but my wife's family, excluding the women folk, all played football at KSU, and a child attended there, so I have some tough feelings to address in my own home. I grew up in western Kansas and both of my sisters and myself attended WSU to get out of a rural community. They were both Shockettes, so my first games at HLA were watched sitting under the porcelain water fountain in the Northeast corner of the floor. I knew Bob Trogele, Cal Bruton, Cheese Johnson, Neil Strom, Jim McCollough (sp), and Robert Elmore. They knew me only as the kid brother of my sisters. During college, I played pick up games in Henrion Gym with Randy Smithson and Reuben Eckels. I am overall a pathetic fan, as I should have season tickets, but with an elderly father and mother in law, and one kid in medical school and a second a sophomore in college, I am just now getting the time to consider tickets for next year. You can tell from my posts, I absolutely abhor guards who make turnovers. I don't care if they make a 3 down the stretch, as I believe there should almost never be more than 10 turnovers a game. I rarely if ever missed a game during my college years. Go Shocks!

:) I was told they got their charter yanked from the national fraternity. What an ordeal.
Sounds like you have some serious K-State pressure at family get togethers.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

Idiots. Obviously don't know how to handle a cover up! Aren't you from '95? My wife actually got her masters from WSU, so she is very cool with me going to games when I get a chance. My son attends Pittsburg State and loves to go to WSU games when at home, but that is rare with his major and job. Frequently I check for last minute single tickets, but driving alone for a couple of hours always makes me hesitate if I can catch it on the tube.Robin Roberts: "My mother used to say, when you strut, you stumble."Comment

I am a 95er indeed. I have single game tickets every once in a while but less and less now that my wife has caught the Shocker bug. I'll give you a heads up tho next time. Please don't be a serial killer.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

If your sisters were Shockettes, I'm sure Pogo stalked them.Comment

Wow, '95? Grandpa.Originally posted by Kung Wu View Post
Also, if you have single game tickets and looking for a side kick, I'm pretty good at taking my elderly fraternity brothers out to games. Oh, I'm not a serial killer.Comment
