Message for the Old-Timers

[forevershockerfan]

I can remember watching the Shockers in the Final Four at my uncles house when I was in Junior High. It's been a long, long time.

Didn't we play against Bill Bradley?

[wufan]

Shocks lost to UCLA...Bradley won an NIT title that year I believe as only the conference Champ went to the NCAA. Princeton also beat the Shox in the third place game, and they were lead by Bill Bradley I believe.

My Dad was in high school in 65 and planned to play basketball at WSU, but as it turns out he got a golf scholarship instead.

I was three when the Shockers beat KU in the elite 8, and I have no recollection, but my Dad says I was there. I had a poster of X-Man on my wall. My folks got rid of their season tickets in 83...directly behind the visitor bench. I went to WSU games 6 plus times a year from 91 to 96. My Dad and I were just saying after the NIT Championship that Marshall was going to get the Shox to the FF if he stuck around. Go Shox!!!

I'm very happy Wooden won't be coaching anybody we have to face this time.

Do we actually have Shockers on here that were of adult age the last time we went to the Final Four?

Great original post, COLD. I had graduated 5 years previous to our earlier Final Four.

And as the years flew by, my dreams of a National Championship never have stopped.

Can't tell you how great it is to have the hopes once again and seeing our boys fighting their hearts out to win our first National Championship.

But win or lose, it has been a fantastic run we can all be most proud of. And having said this, lets win the whole damn shabang!

I drove up to the peak of Flagstaff Mountain with my roomie from New jersey to listen to the game on KFH radio through mucho static as a sophomore as CU.

Not satisfied. I was around for the last final four team. I've been afraid of not seeing another. #PlayAngry Shockers.

Ditto! I was 13 last time around. Stallworth, Bowman, Kelly Pete, Dave leach, Vernon Kelly, John Criss were my heroes as a kid.

Bill Bradley scored something like 58 points against us in that game and singlehandedly took it to us.

No way, that will not happen this year, against this team!

This is true, Bill Bradley is, like, 70 years old. There's no way he's dropping 58 points on us again. Maybe 10 or so, but no way does he get 58.

older than dirt

For the record , final score was Princeton 118 - Shocks 82 ...... Thank goodness that was before the 3 point shot , or dude would have really gone off on us......... Bradley was 22-29 from the field , 14-15 from the line , and hauled down 17 boards.......

I still have the box score on the wall.......

Got my start with Shocker basketball in the '55-'56 season , at the young age of 6........ It's been a long time coming.............

Third generation Shocker graduate.

And I'll hang up and listen.......

Go Shocks !!

Dave Leach and Jamie Thompson could really stroke it, especially the corner shots.

You tell us how we should behave Old-Timers since you've "been there before".

GO SHOX!

Rule 1: As @60Shock: says, shut up about the team from Lawrence. This is OUR Final Four!!!!
Rule 2: All that matters is that our coach stay for a long, long, long time and we stay in the hunt for more Final Fours...
Rule 3: Refer to Rule 1 and Rule 2

Good point, POGO.

Never hurts to show some CLASS!

And nothing sets you apart better.
