SIU @ WSU game thread

No, but I will and let you know.

I wasnt there, but how can monkeys riding on the backs of dogs not be entertaining?

Where is everybody's inner 7 year old?

Well I can't even imagine what the Creighton games will be like...all out war I'm sure. The two biggest kids on the play ground going at it for 40 minutes. If they are ranked in the top 10 and we are ranked in the top 15 when it occurs it will be unbelievable. I plan on attending both games.

I usually go out at halftime, but I won't miss Quckchange.

I wouldn't either. I just watched the video and can't for the life of me figure out how they do it. How is that humanly possible?

I probably can't get tickets to next saturday but I'm already working on a trip to Omaha to see the season finale.

Fun concept -- poor execution.

I think that is being nice. Poor execution is mild compared to what my wife and I thought about it. Apparently several facebook friends felt the same as us too.

I've been to a few MSU games this year that looked like monkeys and footballs

[WstateU]

Monkeys best friend...

Monkeys best friend...

I feel that I must correct you. If you've been to the Sedgwick County Zoo, you would know "That is not a monkey."

But, nice avatar.

As Marshall said in the post game, when Tekele only plays 5 minutes in the first half and the other team scores 41, someone isn't doing what Tekele does. Hard to stat that kind of defense....

We really missed having Baker or Wessel last night.

[another shocker]

when siu started shooting like that, i could have sworn i saw monkeys fly out of my butt.

[RoyalShock]

Was it mentioned here that SIU's Jeff Early is Cleanthony's 3rd cousin and that they met for the 1st time before the game last night?


I got a PM from a Saluki fan who told me it was mentioned on SIU's broadcast last night. Apparently Jeff Early was born in NYC but was moved to Puerto Rico as a young child.

[SubGod22]

That's the first I've heard of it. Interesting fun fact
