I can think of many things to dislike.

Actually most Wichitans that I know either hate Ku or they could care less about them. I would have been really upset if I had walked into a Wichita restaurant last night (like El Mexico) that had a sign Congratulating the Jayhawks. While I know there are ku fans in Wichita, I really haven't encountered that many of them over the years.

Do you live in a cave?

No, most of the people I know are Shocker fans. And most of them either HATE ku or just really don't pay attention to them. I do know a couple of obnoxious Ku grads but I really don't have to much to do with them.

KU wins championships in one of the most overrated BCS basketball leagues on the planet. The Big One has exactly ONE more national title than the MVC in the last 25 years. 1-0. Any league that is dominated by one school isn't that great. KU is a great program and should be applauded, but that conference is a joke.

Too bad Marshall couldn't land the Wichita players... Ellis would do nicely in yellow and black.

The Shockers are / should be Wichita's team. It pisses me off to lose recruiting battles for Wichita athletes to KU and KSU. I don't understand it. KU should be the king of Lawrence and K-State...Manhattan. But in Wichita, the Shockers should be King.

In most of Wichita, the Shockers are the main (hometown)team. Channel 12 had a question a couple of weeks ago from a viewer (stating that they spent too much time on WSU) and Roger Cornish said that "they are the hometown team". That's why they are the No. 1 Television news program. Channel 10 used to know that the Shockers come first (when they were the No. 1 news program) but they don't anymore to their detriment. Their problem is that 10 has so many sports and news people from elsewhere, they don't know Wichita and therefore don't know any better. Even those their news anchor is from WSU.

I hate KU fans, Creighton, and Red Sox nation.

Yeah, but Channel 12 never broadcasts our games.

They were the last station with a connection to WSU. I think that they lost money so a different avenue was found. That's how Bruce Hartl was connected to WSU broadcasting. I think that Channel 12 still invests the most money covering WSU by most often sending reporters to road games (at least ones closer and more important games), etc. At least that would be my perception.

I was impressed that Bruce was at WSU game as opposed to going north to the border war.

I'm not a Bruce fan, but I do enjoy Sunday night Sports with Parson et al.

[HarpBros]

Over the years different stations did the TV coaches shows. I think KAKE had it during the part of the 90's then KWCH... before that I can't remember.

Not impressed at all. IMHO, Bruce was either assigned the WSU game being the lead sports guy who should cover a big local sports story or didn't want to go through a week long barrage of Shocker fans calling for his WSU alum head. Somehow I just feel he would have rather been in Lawrence.

I'm not sure who covers WSU matters very much. But Channel 12 always begin with the Shocks. Give him as the sports guy in charge at 12 some credit.

Me thinks you're 100% off base.
