Jake White

[shock]

Entered this site to see how Anton Grady was doing (thank God the news is good) and then read this thread as I have been following Jake up here in Omaha as a former MVCer and Shocker, completing said reading with Sunday joy we no longer have to deal with fans like BOBB and Coldblooded. Some things never change ��. Happy Holidays to all of you Happy ShockerNetters! I anxiously await a witty reply about my Mother.

I will take your mother out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again.

You know BOBB, when I log into Shockernet, l tend to go through the thread titles to see what I am interested in. If I'm interested, I open the thread and read it. If not, l move on. Maybe you should consider doing the same.

I never open a thread to express my displeasure that another poster has posted something that I'm not interested in.

I consider it sad that a few posters (you especially) choose to consider themselves so important that they should determine what others should be interested in.

I should warn you that I do care about ex Shockers, including Jake White. I fully expect to find a time when I can make a trip to Omaha this year that does not interfere with a Shocker game. I will enjoy watching Jake play and will likely go out for a meal with Jake, his family and his girlfriend after the game. Then, I will likely post something about Jake and the game.

If it offends you that I still care about former Shockers, I might suggest that you simply not bother to read my posts. There are other posters who do like to hear about our former players and I really do not care if you hate my posts. Until I am told by somebody who counts that I am doing something wrong, I will continue.

I have cared about Shocker players since the days of the likes of Lanny Van Eman, Ron Heller and others and do not accept the fact that you can tell me what or what not to post.

I really enjoyed Jake's 23 point game against Minnesota today. Even more, I loved the "hair on fire" effort and leadership he displayed. If it means nothing to you, that's fine.

Listen, you guys can think I'm trolling, but I'm not. Look at my post history and see how many times I've trolled on here. I don't buy for a minute that the timing of this post was a coincidence. This guy has been a big Jake backer since day one. And that is great. But this post was timed right after we took a tough loss, with poor big man play and one of our bigs severely injured. I too, care about our former players, including Jake. At best, this post was ill-timed. At worst, a real passive aggressive blast by a guy with a personal relationship with Jake and/or Jake's family. I'll say no more about it.


If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

You are, but at least you gave room for being wrong and that should work for all.

I wonder how many people would take Jake White over Shaq Morris right now. I wonder who Marshall would pick.

I might have to go out to a UNO game, check out their new digs and watch this Jake White dude.

After the game you will probably find him standing on whatever end of the court he will be defending in the upcoming match, holding his grapes, and being perfectly still.

That's a blocking foul, right?

23 and 5 tonight.

Jake is having a killer senior season

[Dave Stalwart]

Interestingly enough, if you are into wichita high school sports, it looks like Jake is playing with Zach Jackson from East. I didn't realize that before.

Thanks for the updates.

I believe if Jake would have stayed here, he would have exhausted his eligibility last season.

Very true. And he wouldn't be getting the minutes or stats he is able to get at UNO. He made the right choice for himself. I think it's really great to see him performing this well, though. We all knew he was a good player even though he struggled so much, and I'm sure this season is validating for him.

I want to go on the record saying I am not posting about Jake White to say he would be what this team needs. I don't even think that's true in the first place. I am posting about Jake White simply because I was a fan.

I'm totally good with it, and frankly, I'm good with seeing updates on other tranfers as well...except Hawkins...:)
