American Athletic Conference

[Shock Top]

Paul's latest blurb.

http://www.kansas.com/sports/college...142011889.html

Two Things:

1) I wounder if SIU thinks WSU is too big for their britches now?!

2) Imagine how stacked the AAC would be if Syracuse and Louisville didn't leave, and weren't replaced ECU and Tulane. Purely, "What if?" type stuff, but that would have be one hell of a good time!

[another shocker]

I think a lot of folks made an assumption that I thought WSU would 'dominate' or 'go undefeated' which isn't true.

nobody made that assumption.

[Shock Top]

To the UC fan who didn't like the comparison to UNI or ISU. I am sorry bud. UNI recent success and failures are similar to Cincinnati's.

[mini-shock]

Do not compare UNI with Cincy...Just dont

Put down the shovel

On NCAA bids in last 5 years: UC 5, UNI 2, WSU 5
On NCAA wins in last 5 years: UC 2, UNI 2, WSU 10
Just NCAA stuff.

Cincy tourney appearances:

1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1966, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017

UNI tourney appearances:

Even recent, can't really compare

Those soulless drones should be ***** slapped on a semi-regular basis

Hell, I should be ***** slapped on a REGULAR basis!

[Shocker1976]

I might make an exception for next year.

Yes, even with next year's roster the Shockers will be challenged on road and a few home games. Going to be a great year to be a Shocker fan if the realignment happens as we all wish.

I mean COME ON. Other than 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 they have been to the tourney EVERY year since 1992....

UNI? Really? I like UNI and they have done well with what they have. But COME ON

But hey, that's just...You know....NCAA stuff

And for those who aren't familiar, our basketball program was completely gutted by our former president in 2005 when she fired Bob Huggins less than 3 months before the beginning of the season. We had to do a year with an interim coach and by the time Mick Cronin was hired, we had lost two recruiting classes and had almost no players on scholarship playing in the Big East. It was a complete rebuild job when it didn't have to be.

Yeah, so comparable aren't they??

I said recent. I meant recent. There's no opinion to be held here. Just facts. Facts say they both have 2 wins in the tournament the last 5 years. Facts also say that UC is a storied better program.

Ok, I don't know if this guy's a troll or just "mini" in the head, but either way, he may need to be on the banning short list.

Ignore the ignorant posts.

I am sure you can tell most on this board know about your tradition. One thing you will find with MOST Wichita State fans is we are pretty knowledgeable fans. Makes it easy since we don't have football.
