LOL!

The eck had a great atmosphere and I also wanted to mention that Coach Marshall and Lynn and the kids were in line behind me coming in to the game.

Coach Lamb and Coach Sanders were out supporting the team on Friday and Coach Sanders was there for the championship game.

Forgive me wu, but who the heck is Amanda Moore? And we all agree the McGuire was terrible behind the plate tonight

Volleyball player.

ADDED: Sorry - I missed the replies. BTW: Sara Lundgren was at one of the tourney games. Jada Witham oftem comes to baseball games (but I didn't see her this weekend).

Eat it sCUm. Eat it!

If I were them, I'd be hiding my tail between my legs too.

Stay classy ShockerFever. :-|

Congrats KC.

It's a good thing we play in a weak Missouri Valley, as that's the only reason we are getting a bid this year.

Um, no. The "only reason" is because we won the conference tournament.

I sit "right behind home plate" and the ump was terrible (i.e. inconsistent).

I watched it on TV. He wasn't terrible. IMO. Not perfectly consistent, no, but both teams got some borderline calls.

Does anybody think WSU might be a candidate for a 4 seed?

We will most definitely be a 4 seed. No doubt about it.

Random thoughts from the 1st base line.

Great post!

:clap: :yahoo: :wsu_posters: Didnt get to go to any of the game this weekend unfortunate, had a long trip to florida and back. But we ended up being in listening area right when the game started tonight, and that is about as nervous as i have been in a while. I think i am proud of this team almost more than any shocker team in memory. No maybe they arent the most talented and dealt with alot of adversity. But they had heart and fought back, and now are the MVC Champs once again!!! :wsu_posters: :clap: :yahoo:

Looks like when coach made the change of inserting Bascue, Engrav, and Sossamon in the line up something happened for the better. I am PROUD of this team. Go Shockers.

I didn't say McGuire was terrible.....I said he didn't have a great game. I promise you, your 60' plasma aside, my unimpeded view of the plate allows for a fantastic vantage point on high/low calls. What was a strike varied more than once....more than 10 times....and it was inconsistent for both teams. The CU pitchers got jobbed too....both teams bulldoged it too much to combine for nearly 20 walks. I have no problem with the bang/bang play at the plate....it was a tough call, and I am not saying he missed it from my seat, but he did on the replay. He wasn't terrible, but in a big game, he didn't have a great one.....that's all I'm saying William...you should realize that other people know a thing or 2 about the game...you don't have a monopoly on that.

haysdb....it's great to see you. This is a season your input was missed, a lot. Hope everything is going well for you.


Is there anyone out there that happened to tape the audio broadcast? It appears that the archive will not be available. For what it's worth, I would gladly pay for it now and in the future. It is a great service and if $s make it more viable, then I am happy to pay to help make sure things like last night don't happen any more.

Re: Hmmm...

It just occurred to me that if Lee Ridenhour had joined the declining Shockers instead of his team of the future up northeast, he wouldn't have to be wondering whether an 0-3 floperoo in his conference tournament ended his season, as it probably did -- he'd be looking forward to regional play, just wondering where.

Gee. what a shame.
:cry:

If this is true (that KU misses the regional), then my dream for this season would be that WSU be in the same regional with KSU and we beat them this time.

My only complaint of the Jay fans that were at the game last night was the lady with the constant whistling using a cone to try and direct the sound towards our pitcher or our batters. If the sound directed at the players was much louder than what I was hearing then maybe it was effective. I wondered how people in front of her could stand it and also think if it was distracting to WSU pitchers or batters then it would also be to the CU players. Maybe it was effecting the home plate umpire.

[ShockerFever]

That's a sCUm fan for ya.

I hope she had good hard cry on the long way back to Nebraska.

The lovely Miss Amanda Moore is Clint McKeever's better half. She is as intelligent, talented, and gracious as she is beautiful. Congratulations Shox!

I like it when good people get together. Good for both of them. I hope they both get to the NCAA's next year as well.

nail biter of a game. I wasn't able to make the game so caught it on TV. A few thoughts:

* Holthus is a solid play by play guy and the color guy was really good as well. He had great insight on some of Lowell's mechanics and general game situation / strategy.
* Although we gave up way too many walks, I thought the WSU arms really responded in pressure situations - we turned several dp and some key strikeouts.
* Baez scares me every time he throws to first.
* the looks on the coaches faces post game were really cool - very emotional.
* bottom of the order continues to be very productive.
* Let's hope Kelly rebounds from a tough outing.
