Who Replaces Gene?

[Speed]

The longer it goes, the more I suspect Gene was fired without a contingency plan. And I posted about the same thi g a week ago.

They played last night in Winnipeg and play a doubleheader at Lawrence Dumont tomorrow.

When do the Wingnuts get back in town?

[SHOCKvalue]

I bet Coach Stephenson is laughing his @ss off.

Not outside the realm of possibility. If we hire Butler I will have completed the move over to the Anti-ADES camp, and will truly question the axing of Gene.

Can we hit reset?

Schools usually have a list of candidates. A real search will take some time and I am not sure why Shockernet is freaking out. There are plenty of coaches who are more than able to win at WSU.

It was time for WSU to find someone willing to try.

Really just stop, You just described all of Wichita, I mean outside of Flint Hills, nothing is that spectacular in any part of the city. You are eerily similar to the KC KU fans on Phog.net talking down on Wichita. Really aren't we over the whole eastside vs. west?

Shouldn't you and your horrendous grammer and sentence/paragraph structure be over on Phog brown-nosing all the KU tools? Please continue to contribute hundreds of posts over there talking about being a WSU grad, all the while looking like a methhead on 3 day binge via your grammer. It's just grand!

Dont worry that guy sounds like they type that lost his girlfriend and the city league championship from a west sider in high school. If you squint from a distance you would swear he was an insecure KU fan. Also, the West side has all the lakes and green grass from all the free well water, the eastside is all brown from trying to conserve the water.

Sorry to disappoint. Actually grew up in west Wichita while living in the Goddard school district. Now Im living in East Wichita and love it.
Ricky Bobby nailed the definition of the west side. I do like Auburn Hills, but theres not much else around.

well that would go along with my previous opinion after listening to Kemnitz earlier -- Coup d'état

I think you nailed it.

Fire Todd Butler

Just trying to find out more information on Todd Butler, I did a google search and came across this thread dated 5/31/13 on SECRANT.COM. The thread is titled "Fire Todd Butler".

Apparently there are some Arkansas fans that aren't happy with their hitting coach because well, their team can't hit.

I find it disturbing that several on here appear to want or can't wait for ADES to fail, which in turn means that on some level wsu baseball will suffer. Seems sort of anti-shocker to me. Kind of shameful.

Also, why are we freaking out based on information being unsubstantiated and hearsay from a third rate "media" source.

When do the Wingnuts get back in town?

They finishes up in Winnipeg with a mid-day game yesterday. Today was an off day. They play in Wichita on Friday. I'm sure Hooper was back in town today.

However, I believe ADES is in Orlando at the NACDA Annual Convention.

Looks like it will be next week before a deal is done.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

I have faith we will get a top quality coach. Will he succeed? That remains to be determined.

Will we settle? Absolutely not.

This thread sounds like a group of 7th grade school girls who love spewing and creating drama, and it's getting worse.

[BenWSU]

Mmmmmmmm 7th grade girls

On a nearly exclusive basis, major national chains choose east Wichita for their first and potentially only locations, as do people building 7 figure homes.

The west side isn't boring necessarily, but it is the definition of vanilla, cookie-cutter, urban sprawl. You have a Walmart-anchored retail center that utilizes the cheapest building facades/designs available, and acres upon acres of new homes built to the lowest specifications possible because the market commands nothing more.

Can't argue or disagree with you that the east side has that higher-end, uppity-up feel to it whenever I go over there. There is no question that's where the higher income levels reside. That isn't debatable. My problem with your analysis is your unnecessary slamming of the west side in the process. We have pretty much the same amenities over here. It's also less fake and people seem to be much more approachable and talkable, rather than giving you the snobby "staredown".

Did you really just call the westside "cookie-cutter"? lol, because the east side isn't? That was pretty weak sauce.
