WSU versus Tulsa Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Here, princess. Took me less than 2 minutes to find all the release dates.

You may have to work to scroll to the bottom of the page where the dates are listed, so eat a power bar or have an energy drink first.

I don't always agree that the millennials are an entitled and pampered generation...

HOWEVER, that was funny right there. Well played.

Someday in the not-too-distant future you will look back at the disposable time you had as a college student and weep.

The majority of the non-students at the game have far more choices, challenges and compromises to make in order to get to every game, yet there they sit.

I never said that other people didn't have other things going on, but I'm sure if those people felt like there were more important things that needed to be done they would not be at the games. Just like students.

And... right over your head.

Literally the only thing anyone said was that perhaps the school should promote their team more to students. What a crazy idea. Why not include pick up dates in the weekly Shocker Blast emails? They didn't even send an email with the original pick up dates when it was announced. All of those things can happen, but they don't.

Game day
Shocks: 88
Tulsa: 42

This generation vs generation thing is getting OLLLLDDDDDDD.

Agreed, but so is the empty seat thing in the student section.

Simple fix. Reduce the number of student tickets available and sell the remainder each game as GA. The students who never show up aren't out anything, the non-season ticket holding public might actually get to see a game, the AD gets more revenue, and there's more butts in seats to create an even louder and more raucous environment.

Too many stupid replies to group into one post and I'm bad at doing it from my phone. Jesus Christ stop acting like the only thing a student has going on in their life is wsu basketball.

Yes, students do have other priorities, and they can't be faulted for that. However, if something is important enough, you'll take an active role in making that happen, not a passive one. That's the "real life" aspect in all of this.

If going to the game isn't important enough to seek out the information, fine. There's nothing wrong with that. Just be careful about misdirecting the responsibility.

Also, students are paying increased fees as part of the Roundhouse renovation, hence the free tickets. So there isn't a comparison to those students who attended prior to 2003.

Lay off the students a little, I sit in the "grumpy old bastards" section, and a lot of those were empty too. On a lighter note, is anyone going to the Colorado State game?

Yessir. Tickets in section C, row 28. Up behind WSU's bench...way up.

I came on here to get everyone's opinion of the game -- you know, the game happening tonight -- Tulsa vs. Wichita State. Start another thread if you want to *****, comment, whatever about the students or elite WSU fans that don't show up until conference play. Now, can we please get back to the issue at hand -- the game -- and if anyone has any insight into how good or bad Tulsa is.

I think is clear that no one here cares about your "e-mail" when you can use perfectly good stamps and the postal service! Don't even get me started on social media!

Great job. You found ONE Shocker Blast that mentions more than "students get free tickets".

I'm not really sure what's so controversial about this. Obviously the school is not reaching students. They should figure out how to reach students.

I always love it when someone has an account for two and a half years and something finally gets them to post.

any good watering holes in Ft Collins? Or will heading back to Denver be my better option?

I think the debate is they are reaching student .. the students just don't care.
