    Wish I could be.

    Fact is most of the Wichita State fans that are diehards became so early on. Most of the younger generation are KU fans due to ESPN, etc. it's time to do something to re-energize the younger base. What that is, I don't know.

      A run to the Final Four would do quite nicely.

        You're right on a number of things. I know growing up, I was pretty much the only Shocker fan among my peers. Most were KU fans with some KSU fans. By the time most started really getting into college basketball, WSU was at the end of any real success (late 80s) and KU was winning a national title. Even in my house, KU was number one with WSU second. The Decade of Darkeness didn't help but hopefully the more visibility we've had the past 8 or so years will help attract some of the younger group now as well as others. With 3G at the helm, it'll be easier as we're set up to continue being successful and making a run to the Elite 8 or better. That'll go a long way. Multiple bids will also help, there's no reason we shouldn't be expecting to dance every year.

          Makes me feel better that I am the only one that didn't know. :)
          Really? I was going to call you to notify you about the change because we both know how notorious you are about missing things like this.

            Hahaha! Well I was trying to setup my pregame dinner ritual, and the father-in-law and I had conflicting times. I shoulda told that old bastard I'd see him at 7:00 and given his ticket to some hot chick! "Oops sorry didnt think you were gonna make it so I gave the ticket to some ugly lady waiting outside." Right @pogo:?

              LOL I'm just glad I'm a Shockernetter or I'd show up at 6:30 and be hot at myself.

                Yes, I suck. But admitting it is the first step to recovery.

                  Many of us, for some time now, have been troubled by the lack of growth in the fan base. What's there is dedicated, there is little doubt about that, but the base needs growth, even in the "bandwagon" crowd.

                  Planned my return from Alamo Bowl to ari e at 5:40 so I scold attend, but they changed the time. That is indeed a personal tragedy!

                    Ouch. Can still catch a half maybe?
