Calling my shot--Shockers will NOT finish the season ranked higher than 15th

Watching this I can only think one thing...

Who brought a shotgun to church?

This is what (who) we have been missing. Now we're ready to kick some American ass!

Reasons:
1) Injuries- A lot more injuries than I would have like to see at this point in the "season". A team needs to play together to gel together.
2) Eyes on the next level- Expect certain players to focus on themselves instead of the "team". This is by far the most talented/experienced team the Shox have had maybe ever. That being said to succeed in the Marshall system they all need to buy in as as team and forget about the individual stats.
3) Schedule-This is the toughest schedule the shox have had in the Marshall era. Like Marshall said himself, there is no Bradley or Missouri State this year. This will be a big adjustment. No days off for the shox once conference play starts.
To make an upgrade to the OOC schedule as well as to make the jump to a good not great basketball conference is a huge undertaking. The pre-season all conference 1st and 2nd team had one Shocker voted to it and hopefully that Shocker will be back to 100% soon. The AAC is down but it is 20 times better than the MVC.
I think a lot of Shocker fans need to reset their expectations, a finish top 15 in the country should make Shocker fans very happy.

Your shot missed.

I saw this post this afternoon and didn't have time to post back but sure am glad to see I wasn't in the minority on the opinion. :) I've been reading on the AAC bbs and there are a few there who are really down on the shockers too. I can understand the AAC fans might be wondering just what they got thereselves in to with all the national attention but there are a few who simply won't accept that the Shockers stand a chance of being anything but embarassed when they face their team. They seem to think their team is so scary good that our Shockers will just have to stay trembling in the tunnel. (They're PHYSICAL. Shockers have never seen such a sight. ) :surprise:
