Question for you Shocker Fans

[AndShock]

Umm...NMSU and I have no problem saying that. I will cheer for whoever gives us the easiest path to a national championship.

[Shocker1976]

I have never "cheered" for the Beakers to win any sporting contest and have no plans to support them in their game with New Mexico State.

[AZ Shocker]

I'd just have to laugh out freakin' LOUD should the chickenhawks LOSE to New Mexico St. We get all this **** from gayhawkers that if our Shockers played in the Big-12 we would be at best a .500 team. Well gayhawks...then go beat New Mexico St. first...WE ALREADY DID.

[Dave Stalwart]

I will absolutely not cheer for KU. We played NMSU this year anyway so there are bragging rights if they take them out and then some because that's a 15 seed. Losing to NMSU makes them look even worse than losing to us. I'll call it a wash and say I'm okay with either outcome.

[shock]

KU will lose because Self doesn't want to play THAT BAD.

[tw805]

If you have the choice between playing the 2 seed and the 15 seed you already beat by double digits, you know who to cheer for.

Just for amusement, you should look at their forum. They have at least four or five threads on their front page devoted to repeatedly saying how they never think about WSU because we're so irrelevant. They have zero threads devoted to discussing their game against NMSU. Irony isn't their strong suit.

[Hurley]

Who cares about KU. They're insignificant.

easy there. IF it came down to it, amongst many different scenarios, nmsu would be much tougher for wichita state this time around, i have no doubt.. much tougher. remember, they were injury riddled last november. that's a good, ultra athletic team team.

[ShockerFever]

I'm more curious if KU fans will be cheering on WSU after their game. The Phog t-shirt fans definitely won't. I imagine if NMSU wins, there probably won't be any around to care either way. If KU wins, I wonder what the reaction would be.

Who are you rooting for, topeka?

[newshock1234]

Im gonna laugh so hard if KU does lose. I actually think it would be worse than losing to us. People would make fun of them for years.

[martymoose]

I was wondering, are you all going to cheer for KU or New Mex St friday?

Purchased my tickets through the NMST ticket office, so I feel obligated to cheer for them...plus if they win Im locked in for prime seats for Sunday's game at face value!

[topeka]

I will be cheering for KU and WSU on Friday. Sunday will be KU. I know a lot of you all wanted to see this game, however I think the committee did a disservice to both of our teams by lining this matchup in the round of 32.

WSU is not a 7 seed, at worst a 5 seed.

[newshock1234]

actually kind of funny how alot of KU fans have been telling us how overrated we are and that we play nobody and should not be ranked. But now all sudden, they say we were under seeded. Cant have it both ways.

[Heinro]

Umm...NMSU and I have no problem saying that. I will cheer for whoever gives us the easiest path to a national championship.

Simple as that. I'll be fine with playing KU if that is what happens, but no one in their right mind should say they would rather play the 2 seed vs. the 15. Ignoring that fact, there is no way I can cheer for KU in any game, let alone a tourney game. Shame on any Shocker who does.

[ShockerPhi]

I mean, I'll pull for KU to win (not necessarily "cheer"). I want to see the matchup with them, but if they do lose to NMSU, I will undoubtedly laugh my ass off until our game starts.
