[Cdizzle]

Typical. And a league that don't care.

There is not a sports team that I hate more than the Redbirds.

KU

[moshock]

Dirty ass, cocky, unprofessional amateur hour bitches. Fans, coaches, players and administrators all deserve each other. What a Mickey Mouse operation over there.

They are pulling out all of stops. I wonder if they figured out who pulled the fire alarm.

[ShockdaWorld]

Muller is trash as far as being a human being is concerned. He teaches his players to follow in his footsteps. Jailbird U is an earned moniker.

[SHOCKvalue]

F these guys. I'd have been ready to play the game when they started coming out.

From Suellentrop's pregame story: http://www.kansas.com/sports/college...126624699.html

What or who do you think they were laughing at? Themselves you think?

If they think they are currently, or with a win tonight will be, WSU's peer, then they are hilariously and drastically mistaken.

There are almost innumerable ways to illustrate the Grand Canyon-sized gap between our programs, but those are some good appetizers. The results of tonight won't change the above one bit, either.

I don't even come close to hating ISU. And if I did, it wouldn't even begin to register on my hate meter when compared to that school up north.

Just the one school up north?

[WuDrWu]

That being said, I don't care for the games they're playing.

Keep focused, play angry.

Son.....kick their butts.

Go Shocks!

Can we START this game ALREADY!!!! I'm ANGRY!!!!

[Hurley]

I dislike ISU about as much as any team left in the Valley, but they're well down my list of hated teams. I mean, they haven't been good enough to really be concerned about them. It's like hating the trailer trash dumb kid in grade school - sure, he's annoying but you have to feel sorry for him.

I second that motion. LET'S DO THIS!

Looking forward to on-site reports from those able to make the trip.

Normal. Is this how it should be described? Love Gene Wilder and Mary Feldman and they will be missed. I'm pretty sure Teri Garr is a Shocker fan.

[Shocker Mama]

Yeah. What's with the recent problems with our shoot around times? UNI would only give us a 7:30 am slot, ISUr shows up during our time slot.

Pretty lame video. I guess that's what you'd expect when you don't have a lot of history of success. You can't make up highlights.
