  • Shocker Madness?

    Anyone know when Shocker Madness will be this year?

    An astute question for sure. I always love the 3-point shooting contest along with the dunk contest. Any thoughts on who will win these events. Baker or Frankamp maybe on the 3's but the dunk contest is up for grabs and speculation.
    Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

        I would just hope that they set up specific rules for each of these contests beforehand. Too often it seems like they are set up on the fly with minimal organization. I know it's all for fun but let's not be sloppy.

          How many are usually in the 3-pt contest? I'd also like to see Brown and McDuffie in it.

            Isn't Shocker Madness usually on a weeknight? I really wish they would do it on a weekend now that I'm an out of towner :(

              Shamet will take the dunk. Frankamp better win the 3-pt.

              I like the scrimmage a lot better than the contests. One thing you gotta remember when watching the scrimmage. They're just playin' ball. What you see there might not fit as well into a game when it's more important to carry out an assignment than to just play.
              The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
              We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                The dunk contest always worries me due to possible (and unnecessary) injuries.

                  I am always worried about these preseason Dunking Contests too...

                    Frankamp is a 'lights out shooter' but my prediction is Baker will win and Shamet wins the safe dunking contest that will rattle the tables at the local doughnut shops. Clean up on isle 1 baybay.

                      My ulterior motive is that maybe they will see this thread and put more effort into organizing the event.

                        So,did I miss the answer as to the original question of when it will be held? Or has no one answered that yet?

                          No one has answered because no one knows the answer. We'll probably get an announcement in early October announcing Shocker Madness on Thursday the 15th. Last year it was on the 16th of October which was a Thursday.

                            Maybe with all the extremely elevated expectations we should have a "Shocker Reasonableness" instead...........................Naaahhhhhh!

                              Shocker Madness will be announced a week or two before the event and it will be on a weeknight, because, hey, why the hell should WSU give a **** if anyone from out of town would like to attend?
                              The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.
