LAST YEAR'S NEWS: Ron Baker out with stress fracture for at least 6 weeks

This is true but hopefully he can rebound and defend the same.

I hope so. I don't expect to see him swatting flies on defense anymore though. At least not as aggressively.

Murphy's law, when it rains it pours, if it wasn't for bad luck we'd have no luck at all, etc. Our team's situation has gone from depressing, to anger to now laughable.

When you have lost four guys who are responsible for 38% of the team's scoring as well as their defensive impact in preventing opposition baskets, it will be extremely difficult to overcome. The fork has been stuck in us but good.

The only positive I will be taking away from this is that it will give our newer faces more field experience. What a disappointment. There will be no miracle on the hardwood sunshine pumpers, so get that straight.

Does Tyrone Shoelace have any availability left...the man has a mean crossover dribble.

Jez, I didn't think the world was ending until Friday!

I guess this means we will only beat Missouri State by 30 now.

[Zardoz]

I'm speechless. I don't know what to sat other than this just sucks.

[Anthroshock]

This seems appropriate here.

On the bright side, many of our younger and inexperienced guys will get a lot of PT in the next few weeks and a chance to step up. This could bode well for tournament time. Just trying to find a silver lining. Hopefully these guys step up to the challenge.

Cotton has had a bone bruise on his ankle from practice for about a week. Perhaps he is not 100%

For the record, I wasn't trying to 'like' this post, but the one underneath it. Just wanted to be clear. :)

That was an important distinction Jamin....thank you.

Carl Hall going down is like Bane breaking Batmans back. This is like Alfred getting a hang nail.

Count me in the "I'm not worried" crowd. It's a long season, a lot will happen. Things are just going to be a little more interesting for a little while.

As long as our remaining players go out and play hard then well be just fine.

What? Over, did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? HELL NO!!

What the **** happened to Shocker fans I used to know? Where the spirit? Where's the guts? This could be the greatest year in shocker history, but your going to let it be the worst. Well just kiss my ass! Not me! **** cu, **** evansville, **** the northern Iowa juco, **** the Missouri meth heads, **** Elgin!

Oh and I might move my seats up a little closer to the ceiling too.

You and I are already close to the ceiling...you need to pray harder.
