WSU vs Bradley Game thread

[Topshock]

"The crowd sucked" thing is getting old. Recruits visiting and opponents fans are in awe of the atmosphere. It sounds good on tv. I'm tired of this storyline. Maybe it's just me.

Agree with this. For the most part this seems to be one person that beats this drum about the crowd. We actually thought there was a lot of energy in the arena today considering who we were playing and the blowout taking place. I am sure the crowd will be tremendous should we ever have a game that is under 10 points in the second half.

I think 3G is ok with the atmosphere at CKA. In fact all the local, regional and national coverage our fanbase gets inside the Koch, we should be very proud of our ability to cheer our Shockers. It's Bradley for God's sake...breathe. I've never seen the "Link" on any top-10 arena's list. I'm good.

When Ron gets uppercutted in the face, I rarely see him complain.

Then let's model after Ron and not complain.

+1. People need to start looking at the spread before they come to the game - that's what kind of crowd you can expect. Until you see a spread in single-digits, I would stop expecting the type of "hair on fire" crowds that we became accustomed to during the less fortunate years.

The game is usually over before anyone sits down inside CKA nowadays. That's not going to make anyone hoot and holler for all 40 minutes....

I know the opponent sucked, the outcome was never in doubt, but the crowd still sucked. Students are garbage. Oh well, just take Ron and Fred for granted. 6 games left.

I was too busy enjoying Ron and Fred play to spend my concentration worrying about the crowd in a blowout, but to each his own.

Me too. And while Fever was obsessing about how we all aren't up to his standards as a crowd, I remember plenty of cheering for every good play our guys made.

I didn't notice anything this game. But to be fair, in all my years of games our last home game (I think it was the last one, it's all a blur of W's) was maybe the only one I remember that fell flat over tv, to the point I mentioned it on here. I don't think it's a narrative, I'll chalk it up to a bad day, but it was real.

Further, this game was also really enjoyable despite the lopsided victory. I really liked watching the second and third team do well with their minutes, good stuff!

The piss drunk older lady sitting next to me was a hoot!

40 point blowout with a foul parade and people want more crowd energy.

Guys, I'm sorry. The only game I have been to this year was ISUb last weekend. Sorry I let y'all down. I thought I was yellin the right way but I guess my best wasn't good enough. And I guess my game thread analysis has been pretty poor as well. I'll be over in timeout for the next week. Is that enough?

Late to the party fellas...sounds like the scrimmage went well today getting some quality minutes for the frosh.

Then just don't let them know you appreciate them anymore. Just sit there and enjoy it. I have no problem with it.

Carry on.

I'm over it. I realize now the atmosphere is not really about WSU but more about who they're playing, the type of game that is going on, and the margin of score.

I am going to just sit back, stare, and enjoy what's going on from this point forward.

Bring on Loyola.
