11:11 - Trivia - Irony

[AZ Shocker]

Little Interesting Ironic Trivia just for fun...

George Mason made the Final Four last year as the #11 seed.

A #11 seed has only once before made it all the way to the Final Four.

What other college team was it???

[ShockCity]

LSU - 1986

Remember it from the TV games last year.

That was fast! Good job ShockCity! :good:


Now for some craziness...

So what's with the eleven's???

Maybe it has something to do with the Shockers starting the regular season on Nov. 11. 11/11 lol :D

So the Shockers dispatch two previous years #11 seeds in back to back games right.

WSU beat George Mason who name has 11 letters in it.
G-E-O-R-G-E M-A-S-O-N

WSU then beat Louisiana St. who name also has 11 letters in it.
L-O-U-I-S-I-A-N-A S-T.

Eleven days after beating George Mason who's name has 11 letters in it,
and was a #11 seed last year, the Shockers will play UMKC on Channel 22.
Add 11 and 11 = 22.
Sorry - that was a reach. lol :)


So what's with the elevens?

I dunno...maybe that will be our new AP ranking after WSU beats
Syracuse in the C-A-R-R-I-E-R D-O-M-E. Ha-ha!

Oh also...did you know that after the MVC completes its Championship Game
at A-R-C-H M-A-D-N-E-S-S...the NCAA Tournament starts exactly 11 days later.

So the real question is...
Will the G-E-O-R-G-I-A D-O-M-E host our beloved
M-A-R-K T-U-R-G-E-O-N led
W-S-U S-H-O-C-K-E-R-S
in the '0-7 F-I-N-A-L F-O-U-R ?!?

C'mon 11's! Work for us!!! :clap:

[RoyalShock]

[shocks771]

:clap: Great stuff AZ....although I'm a little worried that you may have a little too much time on your hands.

[AZ Shocker]

I'm a posting fool today! lol :yahoo:

[AZ Shocker]

OMG - P-O-S-T-I-N-G F-O-O-L has 11 letters in it.

Ahhh! I might of just jinxed myself. Ahhh! :whistle:

[Shocked 4 Life]

Mike Kennedy and Terrell Benton

I try not to post any more now that I'm doing the radio, but this is too funny.

Mike and I stayed in room 1111 at the Marriott in Baton Rouge and talked about how 1111 is supposed to be lucky.

CRAZY!!

[Anthroshock]

There is no such thing as coincidence . . .

BTW, 11 letters in A-N-T-H-R-O-S-H-O-C-K

:D

[ACW]

Arch Madness??

[ShockBand]

Arch Madness is the marketing moniker for the Valley tournament, which is held in St. Louis.

[ksshoxfan]

Arch Madness is the Missouri Valley Tournement. It is called that because it is in St. Louis with the Gateway Arch.

[AZ Shocker]

M-I-K-E K-E-N-N-E-D-Y (11 letters - geez)
Wow! Room 1111. Cool!

That reminds me...I took a flight home from Las Vegas on 11/11 a couple weeks ago where I stayed at the Orleans Hotel where the Shockers will be playing next month on the 22nd (11+11=22) and where I bought my Las Vegas Shocker game ticket. lol :D

Man...it just won't end. 8)

Ah, that makes sense. And I can't believe you forgot the obvious:
M-A-R-K T-U-R-G-E-O-N
