Shockers of the Roundhouse

If you could punch one ref, right in the face, who would that ref be?

None. Reffing is a thankless job.

Q: How many MVC refs does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: Three. One will only screw the Shockers, one to change the bulb, and one to call a late blocking foul on Jake White.

The Elliott School did a competition this year much like Tall Grass Film Fest's "Down to the Wire" Competition. We had 12 hours to find a story, write it and make a video. Of course, I forced my group to do something athletics related.

Ever wonder what goes into taking care of athletes' jerseys? Thank Jesse Torre.

Here's the story accompanied by a video and some pictures.

Jesse is one of the nicest, hardworking, always-has-a-smile type of guy. I've spent a few 12 hour days of work at Koch where Jesse was our saving grace on meeting deadlines. Goes above and beyond the call of duty for his work, and you can tell the guy bleeds Wichita State.

Jesse was great yesterday. We kind of popped in on him while he was busy at work. He tried getting rid of us for about 15 minutes and realized we weren't budging. "I'm not getting rid of you guys huh?" haha. He was great, humble too.

80 percent of the time, Jesse would say he does "nothing important." "It's not a big deal." "We're not special or anything." But, for 20 percent of it, he would come out of that shell some and tell us how he sometimes feels like the 8th man.

Then he invited us to stop by anytime if we were in the area and grab a snack on top of his fridge. haha. With how much laundry he does on a daily basis, it makes me hate doing my own laundry a little less.

Jesse is a saint of a man who is one of the most beloved people in the athletics department. I defy you to find someone who has something bad to say about him. If you do, my guess is that the issue is really with that person, not Jesse.

I thought I'd put some articles in here from this year's Basketball Guide of The Sunflower. Hope you enjoy the issue. You'll be able to pick it up this Friday if you go to the game. I also thought I'd make Gretchen Torline and Chris Jans honorary members of "Shockers of the Roundhouse." I'll also try to update Jans' with more of the Q&A within a couple of weeks.
