2013-14 Schedule

[shockmonster]

I prefer ******* to be on the other side.

[ShockerInKC]

I think the CBE would like to have good local teams like Kansas, Wichita State to feature in it's games. They do need to schedule up if they want Wichita State to keep coming back. Would be nice if the games were on the weekend.

KC local teams in CBE field since 2001:
MU
Creighton
Mizzou State
MU
Iowa
Duke (not local, but good draw)
MU
KU
WSU
KSU
MU
KU
WSU (this year)

So if recent history is anything, expect KSU, MU, KU, Shox, lather rinse repeat.

And that makes perfect sense for them. They could probably mix in Creighton and those 5 are going to be the best draws they can hope for. But the four they appear to be going with mostly are by far the best options for attendance and you know all 4 want to have a presence in the city.

I've never been a Jeff ******* fan as he is a BCS wonk, plus the DP show incident.

What is the DP incident?

[Shoxfan11]

What is the DP incident?

The Dan Patrick show that Marshall was on during our Final Four run, where Patrick started off the show with a Jeff ******* quote saying that Marshall isn't well liked and that's why he still coaches here.

[another shocker]

Jeff ******* told Dan Patrick that he personally likes Gregg Marshall but he "rubs a lot of people the wrong way". Gregg of course called JG out, and was a little short with DP for coming at him with it.

oh, yeah... that's right. he probabaly shat himself when the shockers went on to the final four.

I don't understand these jokers at espn.. I have no contacts within the WSU basketball program, but I did serve in the army during the height of the iraq war. It doesn't take a genius to point out good and bad leadership.. Marshall players are loyal to him and the athletic department is loyal to him. Not a single ***** in the armor here. If anything it seems as if espn holds some strange grudge on WSU. Bill Self is always furious during games and breaks tables, not a problem in espn's eyes though, he's the KU coach so he walks on water.

[Shox21]

Come on now. Do we really want to rehash Dan Patrick's ill-handling of his interview with Marshall. You want to take the ESPN guys or even the Fox Network guys to task over this crap, fine. But leave the coaches out of it. Self is not who Marshall had the problem with so let's not go on about Self "walking on water" and therefore he can do or say anything as far as ESPN is concerned. Self was fined by the NCAA for that little outburst and I know the ESPN commentators really felt like Self didn't do anything THAT bad but his action just happened to break a piece of equipment so consequences were coming . I really don't think the ESPN commentators would have said anything different if it had been another coach -- any other coach (unless it was a coach who was known for his bad temper and bad manners on the sidelines). You make it sound like Bill Self is constantly breaking tables, which is a load of crap. I bleed Shockers, but I have no problem with Self or even squeaky Weber as far as their coaching ethics and behavior goes. By the way, have you ever seen Marshall on the sidelines when things aren't going his way or if he thinks the calls are way too one sided? Every coach can lose his temper given the right set of circumstances.

It's not about Marshall.

ESPN will always favor the BCS no matter how crappy they are.

[wsushox1]

Basically, this.

It's not about Marshall.

ESPN will always favor the BCS no matter how crappy they are.

[Rlh04d]

It's not about Marshall.

ESPN will always favor the BCS no matter how crappy they are.

To be fair, it's not anything sinister about ESPN having a pro-BCS bias. ESPN wants money. Viewers make them money. ESPN will hype whatever the most viewers want to hear about. End of the day, there are a lot more viewers that want to hear about Kansas than Wichita State. That doesn't mean ESPN has some bias against us ... they have a bias towards money.

If we want ESPN's love, that's a pretty easy solution: Make them money. And we will make them money by bringing them viewers. And we will only bring viewers if we keep winning. The more we win, the more ESPN will love us, because the more people will watch our games, and the more people will stay tuned when they see us on the ticker for a SportsCenter story coming up.

It's a company. You appeal to ESPN the same way you appeal to any other company.

HC3GM has an AWESOME personality for interviews. In fact he'd make a heckuva sportscaster when he gives up basketball. It helps that he interviews so well because it encourages more interviews when the opportunity presents itself. That's awesome for Wichita State.

On Monday, November 25, Texas will take on BYU at 7:30pm ET on ESPNU, followed by Wichita State and DePaul at 10:00pm ET on ESPN3.

On Tuesday, November 26, the consolation game will tip off at 7:30pm ET on ESPNU, followed by the 2013 CBE Hall of Fame Classic championship game at 10pm ET on ESPN2.

================================================

Sucks we don't even get the ESPNU game being the "featured" team. We are relegated to ESPN3.

So I was wondering who was playing on ESPNU in the later time slot after the Texas/BYU game.

It's none other than Chaminade and Baylor. Not sure how exactly that is a bigger ratings draw for ESPN than WSU/DePaul even if it's just ESPNU but oh well. I'm over it now.

Somebody help me out:

27 games + the CBE. 27-18 Valley games = 9 non conference games.


Tulsa, Alabama, St. Louis, Davidson, ORU, Tennessee, Western Kentucky. That's 7. There are 2 left. Everyone says 1. Which game am I missing?

I thought it was 12 non conference games.

You have the 7 mentioned + 2 from the CBE. Then we have two games at home from lesser quality CBE opponents. That makes 11 then the one opening.
