Originally posted by KC Shox View PostMan, listening to KC radio, they are painting GM in a very bad light; always talking crap about KU not scheduling WSU. Perception is reality folks and in the court of public opinion of NE Kansans, GM is getting the death penalty. Go to phog.net and read their threads about us, the big brother syndrome is strong with those fans.
Predictions: If we play like today on Sunday, get into foul trouble and can't shoot from the perimeter, we lose by 15+ and then have to wait for a week until Shockernet's server is back up and running due to the influx of KU fans talking $hit and crashing the server.
It's no secret that we have problems against tall, athletic teams but we've been able to hang with Kentucky, Louisville, and Utah of late so I'm hoping the same here, but we're going to have to make shots and never let KU get out to a big lead. Once KU starts to spread the margin, they turn into a different monster and it's all but over when that happens. If we can only win by 5 against IU's porous defense, can we expect a win against KU's much stronger D?
However, I can fully see this game being Ohio State all over again. Get out to a 20 point margin and hang on for the win. We've got all K-State and Missouri fans on our back, hell, I'm betting practically all of America will be supporting the boyz from Wichita. Other than Perry, none of the KU roster is from Kansas and doesn't understand the WSU/KU dynamic and probably doesn't care. That can be our advantage.
This is literally a David and Goliath match-up. Gosh damn how I would love David to pull it out here.

LOriginally posted by shox526 View PostWalking around downtown Omaha and someone keeps shouting "Little Brother" repeatedly... I turn around and sure enough its a dumba$$ in KU gear pointing at us in our WSU gear. He shuffles into a building before I can catch up with him and give him a piece of my mind about their chickensh!t approach to refusing to play us.
I've never seen and certainly hope to never see Shocker fans getting their jollies by demeaning other fan bases. Those are the people that spoil the whole fanbase.
I was already pumped for the game, but now I'm out for blood. Time to put supposedly big brother in his place.
Play Angry! Let's go!

Wonder who our opponents will after moving on to the Sweet 16 Sunday?

This is the game we have all been wanting for a long time. I was in middle school last time the two teams played and didn't care about the sport much then. But I've hated KU as long as I can remember. I can still remember the day my 4th grade teacher wanted to take a class photo on kansas and we all had to wear KU shirts. My dad being a KU fan made me wear one. I was not a happy kid that day. I'm glad I don't have a copy of that picture. I also remember in high school always taking a band trip to the KU band day. It made me sick having to play that stupid song on the field at half time. The only good thing about that day was KU usually got killed on the football field. A lot of my family are KU fans and I always have to put up with them trash talking my Shocker.
Anyway sorry for the rant. I for one want a WSU win more than any other game I've witnessed since falling in love with the game of college hoops. As Coach Marshall once said the guys have to have to the "want to" to win this game. I know they do as much as us fans do. Go Shockers. MTXE Play Angry lets go.
