What If?

[1972Shocker]

What if shockernet had smart, rational and reasonable people and wasn't just us?

Not sure I can quite wrap my mind around that one.

Not that this was a possibility at the time, but what if Mark Turgeon would have been hired instead of Randy Smithson in 1996 and had the opportunity to coach Maurice Evans and Jason Perez? Maurice might have played four years at Wichita State, and both of those guys would have been AMAZING under Mark, especially since Mark was a little more, wait...A LOT MORE emotionally stable than Randy.

Say it ain't so!

Couldn't happen. Evans was too good for WSU.

What if PJ doesn't get food poisoning in Vegas?

Well he didn't get food poisoning (at least that is what I heard).

[AZ Shocker]

What if the NCAA had a shred of credibility, treated WSU like they treated KU, and didn't look the other way when bar owner, bookie and surprisingly current neighbor of Bill Self, Doug Compton paid players during the 80s? WSU doesn't go on probation and enters the 82 Tournament with likely the strongest front court in the country, Carr, Levingston and Dreiling and has every right to be considered a National Title Contender. KU would have been warned with the death penalty and we could have been National Champions.

Yep! I will ALWAYS believe that was one of the biggest shames in the history of sports. Those little kids up there were so scared Wichita St. was heading to be "THE" program in the state of Kansas.

Had the Shocks won a National Championship or two under Smithson with all those NBA-er's on the roster...I believe football would've survived at WSU. Had football survived...I believe we would've been asked to follow Memphis, Louisville, Tusla, etc to a higher perceived conference. The 90's drought never would've happened and Wichita St. would have had a large enrollment nearing 28,000-30,000 students by the early to mid 90's. New towers would've been built to house all the new students pouring in. The Greek movement would've been on big-time. The city of Wichita would've been "the" place to be in Kansas (not tiny Lawerence) and pride within the city would've allowed for companies like FedEx, Saturn, Toyota, etc to re-locate to Wichita. Heck even AZ Shocker along with tons of my fellow ex-Wichitan's living elsewhere in the country would've stayed and went on to have meaningful prideful careers in Wichita. The city's population would've swelled to 600,000-800,000 people and life would've been real good!!! Hell maybe in the year 2008 the NBA would've come calling instead of going to Oklahoma City.

[WSUwatcher]

Way to dream big, AZ!

[Veritas]

What if Uncle Fester, errr... Lew Perkins... had never been hired as WSU AD

[ISASO]

What if Jim Schaus would have been AD from 1985 to present?

[pogo]

What if Jim Schaus and Dr and Mrs Beggs had not been at WSU at the same time?

[wufan]

What if Dave Stallworth and Nate Bowman hadn't been denied eligibility for the second semester of their senior year?

[DUShock]

What if Harry T. hadn't dropped the bomb?

[shock]

What if Tyrone never ate that burrito??
