He won't comment on WSU because to do so, either in the affirmative or negative, would indicate they are considering someone.

Pretty specific timeline. Perhaps foreshadowing the addition of WSU? We can hope....
Yeah, why are you gonna be one of the best in 2 years??
Why not next year? Interesting, indeed."When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Better have some sugar and water too, or else your lemonade will suck!

Originally posted by ShockerFever View PostThat would be the positive spin you'd like to hope it means, but I'm just going by directly what the man said.
I am going with that he is saying they don't HAVE to expand just to get to 12. They would still be good in basketball. HOWEVER, they will be one of the best conferences in exactly 2 years because they are adding WSU.
That's what I am going with and I am sticking to it. Without WSU they will be ok, but with WSU they will be even better :)"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!

Originally posted by Bearcat_Bounce View PostHey guys. Cincinnati fan here.
1st want to congratulate you guys on a great season. Was really hoping we could get a Cincinnati vs Wichita State Sweet 16 but unfortunately we both got stuck with really tough draws against blue blood programs. Still can't believe the bottom of the South Region had FOUR teams with 30 wins.
From your side how realistic are these rumors about Wichita State joining the AAC? I would LOVE to get you guys and VCU in our league as olympic sports members. We badly need some more basketball first schools.
Hope the rumors are true.Where oh where is our T. Boone Pickens.

Originally posted by wusphlash View PostWe are pretty much all for it. Just want to make sure the AAC doesn't have their tournament in Connecticut every year. If you make it reasonable, we will come."It's amazing to watch Ron slide into that open area, Fred will find him and it's straight cash homie."--HCGM

Originally posted by OregonShocker View PostOur loss was, IMO, NOT related to lousy seeding. Unlike a lot of my fellow Shockers, I don't fault seeding for outcomes. If you want to get to the FF, at some point you have to beat the UK's, KU's, Gonzagas of the tourney. No, this loss is more related to the MVC not providing enough quality games to get us fully prepared for the tournament games against higher seeds. We need to change conferences...yesterday!
