Shocker Madness

[im4wsu]

Yeah I heard Bill Self is going to ride in on a magic carpet this year. Or maybe they said under the rug. I don't know.

Honestly I'm glad we keep it low key. The extravagance of LNATP almost feels like the celebration the heat threw a couple of years ago when lebron signed.

I go to shocker madness to watch the team scrimmage. I don't want to see dunk contests, motorcycles, red carpets, djs, etc, etc. The three point shooting contest is OK.

But I can understand why the out of towners are frustrated about the late notice. That's certainly not unreasonable.

FIFY

I hate to do this, but KU fans knew when Late Night at the Phog was going to be back in June.

Why can't the Shocker athletic department let us know when Shocker Madness is going to be that far in advance? Why is it so difficult for them to schedule and promote this?

Because if they don't make money off of it, they don't really care about it.

It's just the way it works.

SHOCKER MADNESS IS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I crazy if I want to take off work and camp out Thursday even though I know it won't even fill up? Maybe that's why they call it Shocker Madness after all. Because it is intentionally so undersold that only the crazies who have not stopped thinking about basketball since March get as excited about it as I do.

By all means, @DJ06Shocker:, bring the madness to Shocker Madness.

To people who regular Shocker madness - How early will I have to come to get row 1-3 seats in lower bowl?

Personally, I am not sure why you would want to unless you are going to sit in the end zones or corners. There will be plenty of great seats available, but if you get there at 5:30 I would expect you will be able to sit about anywhere you desire.

There may not be any tables set up on the west side of the court so that would be your best bet if you want to sit low and near center court.

If you really want to be up close and personal to the action (at least on one end of the court) the seats near the corners of the court may be your best bet. I know some very well heeled supports who chose those seats for their season tickets just for that reason.

Safe to assume we cant pick up season tickets yet at shocker madness?

We could about 6 or 7 years ago. Then it stopped. Which makes absolutely no sense. The games are set. Put a TBA on the times you don't know and be done with it.

Are they planning on having this streamed on Shockervision?

Fall Break is this week. I'm told that Shocker Hall is like a morgue this week. This might impact student attendance and the atmosphere.

Fall break was this Monday and Tuesday. Students are back in school starting today. Should not affect student attendance.

Doesn't look like it. It's not on the SV schedule.

Bush Wam has gained 10 pounds and is now listed at 232. He wants to gain another 10 this year. 6-11, 240+ is where he needs to be. Getting excited about the season!!!

I liked that article a lot. Whenever you get a project guy like Bush Dubya, you can't tell what they will become. I always have to wonder just how high his ceiling will be. He may just be a marginal guy, sure, but it's also entirely possible that he can be better than EO by his senior season. I mean he just learned how to "play low" this summer for goodness sake. I always hold out hope that someday one of these guys will really bust out. You just never know...and if he gets to that point, how awesome that will be.
