It's Friday, and its a good time to be a Shocker

[WSUwatcher]

Maybe not, shizzle -- JH4P is a math and numbers guy, and both three and six are definitely less than ten. So it could have been him.

Wait: three six TOGETHER are still less than ten. So you can give MT a bonus and double count, and he still can't keep up with his successor at this level in the land of low seeds. Thanks, Larry Brown! (And, yes, I've said many times that I appreciate Turgeon's contributions at WSU. So, thanks, Mark -- but still: thanks, Larry.)

It's Friday.
The Shox are about to upgrade conferences.
Hooray us!

The future looks bright, but I thought it might also be fun to recap the last 7 years. (Please feel free to add your own highlights)

- 203-43 (83%) vs D1 Opponents
- 1 NIT Championship
- 6 NCAA Appearances
- 5 Rounds of 32
- 2 Sweet 16s
- 1 Final Four

JH4P- Since you are a numbers guy, you'll appreciate it being pointed out that you missed an Elite 8.

NM I posted something similar to @Rocky Mountain Shock:

I think it is five if you count Makel who played briefly for the Mars and others.

That Mars team just wasn't the same after Dork Nowitzsky.

Definitely not obsessed.

That season will live in my memory forever. That said, I was sooo nervous during every single game towards the end of it. Especially the 19 point comeback at Missouri St.. And of course the Valley tournament final, given our track record.

If I recall, the Bears really helped us to offset such a deficit in such a short time frame by constant fouling, stopping the clock, we made the throws, etc. etc. etc. We should have won in regulation but the drama continued into overtime. Does this sound correct?

Beating KU in Omaha on my birthday--only a National Championship would be better! Oh, and the trip to the Final Four.

Yeah, I remember them practically not missing a shot in the first half.. We were down 19, and then the momentum carried us into overtime. Really nerve wracking game, any which way. Haha.

On this particular Friday evening...I am in wonderment of how many Final Fours would we have potentially been in had the bracket, seeds and in particular "who" we were matched up against been a little less stacked and less obvious what the committee wss truly trying to manipulate.

This is future Shoxilla, and I know this is a Stage 7xAAA protocol violation but I'm going to take a little risk here, cause you know it's only sports, and they probably aren't tracking this obscure thread.

Let's just say you might want to just go ahead and buy those Final Four tickets in San Antonio next year.

Be cool about it and not all at once, dammit!

Somebody tell Jamar that Fever has hacked his account!

That post is way too savage for Jamar.

Have you seen me go after Jerry Palm?

[pogo]

I'm just surprised no one else has stated the obvious "Every day is a good day to be a Shocker"

Have you seen me go after Jerry Palm?

You mean, like, you were behind him in line at the urinal? No, I haven't seen that.
