    Hopefully this is another reason for Shocker fans to make that Monday game.

    EDIT: The induction ceremony is the day before, which is too bad.

        I just had an image of X's statue - after the museum is closed for the night, of course - walking over to the Barkley and Worthy statues.

        He eyeballs both of them and says:

        "So which one of you guys is sitting down?"

          I didn't really start following the Shocks until 1979 when I left the Army and ended up in Wichita. I took some courses and WSU and started following still young baseball team. Then there was the basketball team with the bookends, X, and Aubrey Sherrod(how many points would he have scored if he had played in the 3-point era?) X impressed me when he grabbed 7 rebounds in 7 minutes as a freshman. How many points and rebounds would he have had if not having to wait his turn behind two AA forwards?

          Even after watching the bookends and others of that era and some really good Shockers since, X remains my favorite and I glad to see him get this honor.

            X was one guy that could get seven rebounds in seven seconds, each time rebounding his own missed shot. One year it seemed that he had several sequences where he was shooting three times, rebounding two and making the last.

                      Pretty funny, JJ.

                      I remember, when he got decked in a game at the Mo Valley post season tournament. Korn hit the floor like a sack of oats.

                      Out for the count.

                        An injustice to the greatest Shocker ever.
