I was thinking about this at lunch. Sure, Wichita has its plusses, but damn, we're so behind the times in almost everything imaginable. It took new downtown arenas and developments in Tulsa, Omaha, De Moines, Oklahoma City and others before it was even considered here. We're great at waiting on someone else to do something, then once they've done it big, we're always playing catch-up with the Joneses... and more often in a scaled back way. I guess the new downtown baseball stadium was at least visionary and long overdue, but it took an act of congress (that term should be changed, because congress sucks). How long has it taken Wichita to do something about Century II? I know they just spent $5mm on the roof, but do they have a plan? It's a landmark and I'm in the "keep it" and repurpose it group; to me, it's a Wichita icon.
Wichita State related; thank God for Bardo and Muma who had/has the vision for the Innovation Campus and the Downtown Medical Community. Athletics is the window to the university, and it still matters 'nationally' and a 'successful' WSU adds measurable value to Wichita and Kansas. Look what's going on in Lawrence... yeah, they have P-5 money and are in a survival arms race, but at least they're doing something big and visionary.
NIL is no different. Yea, we don't like it. Yes, it sucks for fans, but I'm not one to sit back and let people trample on me because of a defeatist attitude. Things change and we need to adapt to the changes. I'm stepping up and providing as much support as possible (NIL and SASO), because I love and care about the university that changed my life many moons ago. I don't give up easy and believe we can succeed athletically again and compete with the very best.

Do you think shockernet could pool enough money to make an NIL calendar?People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov

I also was thinking and had some flashbacks to "Roster could be full really quickly if things fall into place" statement we heard a few times last spring this time... when that definitely did not end up happening.
Hoping this "early May" thing is not a repeat of that.

Going to drop an off topic quick post in this active thread. Just got back from an estate sale in the Moorings housing edition in NW Wichita. It is 1/2 North of 53rd and Meridian in NW Wichita. This estaste sale had a ton of Shocker merchandise. I saw 10 signed team basketballs, framed Jerseys, lots of framed autograph stuff, Shocker clothes (L and XL sizes) etc. This is not my sale and I am not trying to make $ here, but I live in that neighborbood and the estate sale opened at 7AM today. It is a high end house and has a TON of stuff inside. Like 2-3 houses of stuff somehow packed into that house. Anyways, anbody wanting to build a man cave for fairly cheap with Shocker stuff should check it out.Last edited by Speak2me; April 25, 2024, 10:02 AM.
