I'm disappointed because I wanted to get a full table to come from Great Bend for the banquet. But I would guess that WSU figured they had to do something that would accomodatelots more fans. Hope the arena if jam packed.

I don't know for sure but I think that there will be an awards banquet in addition to the celebration. But I was born in Hoisington so you have to take that into consideration.

Some Texas buds met Coach Marshall at the Final 4.

This post has nothing to with this thread title, but I did not want to start a new thread for it

So there, Dazzle.

Bump. Now for one of the real tangible things every Shocker fan can do to show Coach Marshall that he should Coach where he is loved.

Would like to see a little pub about this out of the athletic department as it seems to be kind of under the radar right now.

Spread the word Shocker Nation.

Maybe our good friends at Spangles or Tad's could run a few tie-in media spots although time is short.

Agreed that it is pretty horrible marketing. Less than 4 days away and nothing.

The sad fact of the matter is that it is undermarketed because it is free and makes the athletic department little to no money.

Never mind the good will spread through the community and enlarged fan base it brings together to recognize this amazing team.

If nothing else the local news media should be pumping it up to keep their jobs interesting.

My wife mentioned to me last night that she has seen several television spots promoting the April 24th celebration. Not sure about the when or where's though.

[SHOCKvalue]

I've seen WSU pimping the event through their various presences on Facebook. I have seen some media mentions of it as well. I have not seen anything via TV spots, but like most these days the DVR has all but killed off the TV commercial.

Definitely looking forward to this tonight !

[ShockerFever]

There's a celebration tonight?

Who knew?



I'll be in attendance and probably shaking my head at the turnout thanks to our esteemed marketing team/efforts.
