A lot of talk here about switching conferences?

[shock]

Hey man, its all good. Your post was just really troll like. You have to realize, there is no tone in wordedthe posts unless you directly indicate otherwise, leaving the tone up to the reader. Also, new posters have to basically earn respect unless they are known previously from other boards. Respect=being allowed to call out other posters. One more thing. 99% of this board is opinion and speculation. That is all.

Oh, and welcome to Shockernet. There is a forum where you can introduce yourself.

Troll????? LOL. I didnt know you had to affirm ur fandom on this board, but if want a Bio here you go....I attended my first WSU game in 1978 against Indy St. and Larry Bird. It was a great game, Cheese was out but Tyrone Augburn (sp) had a great game but WSU lost it late by 10. My second game was later that year against the second best team in the league, NM St. It was senior nite, Cheese had a great game, I still remember winging american cheese slices around Levitt. Can you imagine the school passing out cheese slices pregame, what a great clean up that must of been. Anyway the Shox won a great game in the last minute. Now can you imagine someone remembering those games 35 years after the fact if they are not a fan? You are right, I didnt go to WSU my three brothers did. I did go to a Big 8 school (not in KS) and although I root like crazy for that team you cant take the city out the boy and I am now a SASO donor and season tix holder. As far as my accurate statement regarding Football, my point is if a program like KU has to scramble to keep its place in a BCS conference because they dont bring the TV sets then teams like WSU are not going to be able to dictate conference affiliation. You can thank the four letter network for that...cant even watch the Rose Bowl on free TV anymore....Ty ESPN. As far as Moose...being a new poster....and doing a search. I have been a long time lurker here and after the ISU loss everyone was talking about leaving for a better conference in game threads....I just dont see any options out there but I wanted get everyone's take. I guess there were four (not 20) other threads from the past dedicated to this.... sorry I missed them. Good nite

As far as the athletic dept. passing out cheese slices for fans to wing around the arena that was during the Ted Bredehoft era. The guy was a huge promoter and showman. WSU always had some very different and wild promotions during that era.

One of my favorites was when they brought in the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders for a football game against Memphis St. Cessna stadium was awfully full that day.

Sure is getting testy here while we wait to rinse the taste of the ISU game out of our mouths with a victory in the NCAA tourney.

Or the camel races. Guess Ted had a thing for humps and bumps.

I think your right Spangler. I've probably been a little over the top with WillieJeffJefferies. I'll let it go.

Humps and bumps. LOLOLOLOL :highly_amused:

IMO, I think that WSU could, at some point, restart their program. Right now, they're at a deficit because they didn't churn out tons of graduates for many, many years. KU and KSU will always be the big boys on the block, but we graduate a LOT of kids - almost as many as the other 2 - and have some great alumni with deep pockets.

You don't have to look any further than the University of Houston to see what WSU might be able to do in another 20 or so years. They're a tier 1 university, division 1 football program. Most of this came on the backs of all those urban students.

WSU has the same chance. Time is on their side. At some point, I might consider giving several thousand dollars to the University if I knew it was going to be used to start up a football program (not now, I have a wedding to pay for). Graduate thousands of young men and women over 50 years or so, it IS possible.

I guess that's the problem with message boards you cant read emotion....All my reply's are done with a laugh just like I was out having a beer with fellow shox fans. Of course Im always right and my buddies are morons.....:smug:
