WSU vs KU - Vol 12, Chapter 14

[Aargh]

I wore Shocker gear to a bridge tournament in Overland Park the week between Christmas and New Year's. Had nothing but favorable comments from those who said anything. No stinkeye.

Several comments to the affirmative about the Shockers in Estes Park and Denver!

Wearing Shocker gear in Honolulu today. Got a comment from someone how it's stupid KU is to chicken to play us in regular season. Said they loved the game in the tourney though.

[ROOT ANGRY!]

There aren't very many SLU fans in StL.

You're more likely to run into Mizzou fans who will be very happy to see your Shocker gear.

most mizzou fans i know can't read. they'll see the black and gold and approve

So this was before 78-65?

Sitting at KCI with my Shocker gear on. Lotta stinkeye from the crowd in red and blue

Stinkeye = relevance.

If you were wearing a Creighton shirt up there, I'm sure you wouldn't be given a second look. Maybe a "who's that?" or an occasional chuckle.

Things have changed.

I wore a WSU hat in Montego Bay in 2005, and the bar tender saw Wichita, thought for a minute and said, "BTK!"

May 2006, right after our Sweet 16, I was in a casino in Vegas with old WSU wheat logo hat and got a "I love Washington State"

Did you tell him that was your twin brother?

Gandhi knew his basketball, huh?

[Triticum]

Around Georgia I sometimes get the Shocker stinkeye but only because people mistake WU for the ramblin' wreck wasp.

I've learned over the years that when visiting Lawrence it's better to wear WSU apparel than to not wear it.. Back in 2008 I visited and wore neutral clothing. That resulted in a KU fan walking up and asking where I went to school.
You can probably imagine the pointless escalation that took place on the KU fans behalf after I said WSU. So ever since that nonsense, if ever in Lawrence I make it a point to wear WSU apparel. That way they don't walk up with any stupid questions and just glare from a distance instead.

[ShockdaWorld]

Got a lot of looks, a few stink eyes, and two go Shox at the Cardinals game last night. Overall, success.

[ShockerDropOut]

I never get tired of this thread!

Flying into kci in 3 hrs. Wearing back to back swag just to provoke them
