    To DrWu's point, I don't think it's any coincidence that the current home winning streak coincides with the consecutive sell out streak at Koch which I believe is at 38 and counting
    Koch has been virtually the same great, basically full, high energy arena for the last 15 years. I don't think the last 38 games have been anything better than the previous 250.

    The current streak is due to great Shocker teams and weaker opponents as compared to other years. The fans definitely share some of the credit, as they do help create a tough environment for visitors, but I don't think the fans have done anything over the last 38 games that they didn't do for a long time prior.

      I don't disagree but think that the string of successful seasons 3G has put together has energized the fan base that, even in down economic times, brings them to Koch. Great time to be a Shocker fanatic.

        Puke to this. We handled their 12 time champion handily last year. No doubt the year before we would have been #1 in the Big 12. Anyone who watched them lose to Stanford and then watched us lose to Kentucky knows this. I want nothing more, except a Shockers national championship, than several Big 12 first weekend exits yet again.

            I just spent the weekend in Lawrence. Spending time arguing with Chickenhawkers, ones who actually are relatively knowledgeable, about whether we are better than last year. It was just absurd. No matter the argument: teams aren't the same with key injuries, look at Michigan St. when they lost Valentine, Notre Dame against Cuse without Jackson, UNC without Paige; the fact that we lost 4 games to teams that are at least in the bubble conversation; etc., they absolutely just trashed the idea that we could be better than we were last year, after smoking the Chickenhawks. Laughable.

              I have thought this all along since that Sunday in STL. Let's switch Kentucky and Stanford in those games (not hard to fathom as Kentucky came out of an 8-9 game and Stanford a 7-10). If WSU, KU, Kentucky, and Stanford played the same way in these theoretically switched games, WSU would have easily handled Stanford and Kentucky would have absolutely b|+&#-slapped KU.
              78-65

                This is something that should be celebrated, cherished and worn like a badge of honor for every fan at every game for however long it lasts.

                Every one of us should take a moment to enjoy that we had something to do with it....however small. Yes, this is about the program, coaches and most of all the players, but winning streaks don't happen in quiet 5000 seat arenas that are half full.

                And every one of us should walk into the next game with the express belief and desire to do what they can to extend that streak 1 more game.

                I know people don't like to test karma, but things like this don't come along very often. Why NOT celebrate it?

                I would love to see the University do just that.

                Let's see signs on every entrance next game. Be creative, celebrate the achievement. It will end at some point, but why not embrace a unique accomplishment?

                Through these doors walk the fans of the longest current home winning streak in the nation CHEER ANGRY!! Run loop video of Gregg imploring the fans to get loud. Run the end of halftime video of the kids yelling and getting the fans riled up. #WENEEDYOU!

                We could do what the team did 2 seasons ago and name each game. The next game could be the Richard Petty game (NASCAR will sponsor anything...get marketing ON IT!)

                But have fun....embrace the moment, don't be scared of it.....and for gosh sake, ENJOY THE RIDE!!!!!! It's not going to last forever, but whenever it does, I hope we give them the cheers they deserve.
                I'd say a nice interview and 3 minute video on ESPN is a good start.

                  I'm surprised TADs or someone hasn't already printed the tshirts.
