Deja Vu 2007?

[shockerfanmas]

While I don't think it's time to panic, yet, I do feel this team is not nearly as strong as our teams of the past couple seasons. Making the NCAA Tournament should still be an automatic unless these guys totally flub up in conference play, which I don't see happening. I also don't see us going undefeated in MVC play this season. I'd say 2 or 3 losses, with at least 1 to Northern Iowa.

I'll take anywhere from a 7-10 seed, because the key is getting hot at the right time. Look at UConn last season. They won it all, can anybody say they were the best team in the country last season? No way, they just got hot at the right time (some luck helps too). I agree the bar is set very high for this group based on previous performances, and I'm not sure what is going on with Baker and FVV. They really seem to be pressing bigtime this season. IMHO, neither of them look like all-American candidates to me, and I really think this all-American deal has gotten into the head of FVV, and maybe even Baker.

I'm still not as sold on the freshmen as some of you are, I agree there have been flashes there, and I do feel they've been better lately. Hopefully the trend continues and they'll continue to get better. I will say one last thing, anybody that is writing the Shockers off just because they've lost a couple games (not saying anybody here is, just saying in general) can kick rocks as far as I'm concerned. I was a Shocker fan through the Smithson days when they were lucky to win 10 games a season, I'm a fan of the great teams we've had recently, and I'll continue to be a fan even if the Shox were to take a complete downward spiral

Everybody knew this was going to be a down year for the team coming in especially with us losing cle and chris jans taking the job at bg i say we probably lose two more games and get a 3 or 4 seed come tourney. All is not lost people we have a very talented group of freshmans and two AA guards on our team our future is looking bright we just have to keep the faith we cant go to final fours and go undefeated every season.

my "father" told me something this morning - WSU is 3-2 in the Frankamp era.

Maybe JJ is on to something.

Here is my tip of the day.

Start Zach at the 3. Figger out later, who will start at the 4 - Tekele, Rashard or Darius.

Or start Zach at the 4, move Ron to the 3 and start Ri'an at the 2. Then, start bombing away.

I may have gone back to JD and water.

You should've taken one step further. Hey lets run all of Cle's plays from last year for Zach and see what happens. Hmmmm

I think it is YOU that may be on to something

THIS!!!!! I was just thinking today about how much we miss an athletic slashing 6'6''/6'7''ish wing player to penetrate zones, among other things. And then....EUREKA!! We have that guy sitting on the bench...

Bump.

8 weeks later, our KenPom is 12, RPI is 17, and we are 24-3. 2007, indeed.

Great and deserved thread bump.

Just goes to show how dumb people can be when they panic.

We have lost 3 times as many games this year as last year and we are not even to post-season play yet! We are FAILURES, just like 2007.

How many times more regular season games have we lost this year compared to last?? AN INFINITE AMOUNT?!

Great and deserved thread bump.

There's no way a sane person would care or still remember a random person's posts from months ago.

Carry on.

[WstateU]

Thanks Jamar; here we go again...

[Shocker-maniac]

This thread defines over reaction.

[ShockerFever]

Carry on.

This thread was created 1 month ago. You've pulled up meaningless jargon from a year ago.

Your axe is gonna grind to a splinter at this rate. And it sure does look pathetic.

[60Shock]

Personally, I am tickled pink that we are at the stage (thanks to GM) that many of of react like the world is coming to an end if we lose a game now and then, versus the past when we were thrilled to just win one, now and again.

You called me insane for remembering Mr. Therapy's post from 12 weeks prior. You then complimented this 8 week old thread being bumped.

12 weeks = a year?
8 weeks = 1 month?

This is fun!
