The Shocker Invitational (Fictional Tournament)

[ISASO]

With two kids under 10, both avid fans of the Shockers and of basketball from "the olden days", we won't be able to hang at SidePockets all day every Sunday to see how this plays out. Can the games be archived or saved and posted onto YouTube or on DVD? I see lots of sims from NBA 2K12, 13 and 14 posted there.

Thanks for your dedication to this project. Lots of fans, regardless of affiliation, are intrigued with these kinds of matchups.

We want to find a way to post them, for sure. The goal is to put them up on kansas.com with box scores and game recaps, but we definitely could try to get them on YouTube as well.

We had a great day today out at Side Pockets, capped off by a crazy finish between Team 11 and Team 2. Jason Perez hit a three with four seconds left, to give Team 2 the 88-86 lead, only to have Kyle Wilson hit a half court three to win the game for Team 11, 89-88.

Darrin Miller was there to watch himself play and Kyle Wilson's father-in-law was able to witness Wilson's 39 point game.

Great time watching the Shocker "legends" play their games. Thanks for the work in putting this together.

It was very interesting to watch matchups like Tekele Cotton on the unstoppable Paul Guffrovich and Darin Miller teamed up with Antoine Carr. Thanks for the work you put into this.

[JaminShock]

Introduce yourselves next time guys! Unless you did and I didn't know you were a Shockernetter.

Hey @DPruett2333: are you only going to do YouTube or game capture videos for the later round games?
