Just listened to the interview; meh. Seemed like radio guys trying to make something out of nothing; trying to "stir the pot" to get people fired up to listen. Didn't work for me, but I suspect they know their audience (KU). I won't listen to them again unless my radio breaks and gets stuck there...:courage:

Getting national attention. Pensacola, FL newspaper, Pensacola News Journal, re-prints a USA Today article about the possibility of the Shockers going undefeated.Comment

Took 19 games, but he's finally tucking the tail between the legs. Good article though. A little late, but good.Originally posted by HarpBros View Post
Too bad this doesn't reflect in his CBS rankings.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

Good read. In the comments he explains the nuance to putting WSU 9th. Agree or disagree, it's at least reasonable.Originally posted by HarpBros View Post
I loved this little exchange in the comments:

Garbage article -- why is everyone so enamored of a team who has played no one and will not play anyone all year? Both Tennessee and 'Bama are legitimately bad teams and who is good on their schedule? Drake? Mizzou St.? Nope.I believe in earning accolades and as long as hacks like you keep pimping this squad, the more I understand its all smoke and mirrors. I'll be checking back when they lose in the 2nd round.

You beat me to it, Royal. That's a hilarious retort by Parrish. Little surprised he's engaging the trash that typically populates media comments sections, but it is solid gold nonetheless.Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostComment

Pretty sure this team has had more complimentary, nationally circulated articles than the rest of our seasons combined. Technology obviously plays a huge role since ESPN.com etc. were non-existent fifty years ago, but man, this has been so awesome.
We could not buy this level of positive publicity.Comment

Sure we could. We did. It costs roughly $1.75M/yr. Pretty good ROI.Originally posted by Play Angry View PostComment

Loved the bit about FVV in the AAU game and during which he demonstrates the size of his cojones:
Then VanVleet turned around.
"He looked at me and said, 'Doc, I'm ending this damn game,'" Cornell said with a laugh. "And I said, 'Well, if you've got the nuts to do it, go ahead and take the shot.'"
VanVleet took the shot.
"It was a 3-pointer from the volleyball line," Cornell said. "All bottoms."Comment

If he really chose WSU over SDSU because of "too much temptation" then you have to tip your hat to Cle's maturity. How many college age students choose to avoid the temptiations at a school like that and willingly choose to come to the midwest instead. He certainly seems to have his head in the right place. I really want to see him go on to have a successful NBA career."We can't win at home. We can't win on the road.

Mike Kennedy was just on a local NW Arkansas sports radio show talking Shocker basketball for about 15 minutes. Very cool to hear that much Wichita State talk in SEC country. I have also heard brief positive mentions on other local shows in the past couple weeks.Comment
