    I'm one of those crazies that's lurked on Shockernet for several years to get my fix in, especially in the off season. I've always enjoyed getting the inside scoops (or perception of inside scoops), daily humor, and occasional spat between posters. I finally figured I should make a profile so I can get linked up with other Shocker fans...especially those that have the misfortune of living in southwest Kansas like myself. I'm on Shockernet so much, I feel like I know a lot of you. Is that weird?

    Little bit about myself. Grew up in Wichita on the west side going to OK Elementary and Hadley Jr. High, then my family moved to Dodge City. After high school, I was in the Army for four years with the 82nd Airborne Division. After my enlistment was up, I knew I wanted to go to school. Many friends had tried to get me to go to that school up north but my extreme dislike for hippies and pretentious snobs would never allow for me to live in a place like Lawrence or go to that school. I wanted to come home and be a Shocker, and so I did graduating from WSU in 2011.

    At this point I'm probably teetering on the TMI side of things so I'll stop. Can't wait to stick to to the Valley in Arch Madness, and to the rest of the NCAA in the tournament. What a great ride it's been, and 3G is doing such a great job, it looks like it'll be that way for a long time.


    Go Shockers.

            Welcome, btw, I only wish I lived as close to Koch Arena as Dodge City. 4 hours drive for me, 12 to St. Louis.

                        I have yet to meet someone from the 82nd I haven't liked. Much respect.

                          Thank you all for the welcomes and kind words. Y'all are awesome. Wish I would have gotten a profile on here a long time ago. Guess I've just worried about being on here too much cutting into work time lol.

                          @Bluzrover: thanks for not holding it against for being an Army goofball. You sailors are high speed, low drag ass kickers in my book brother!
