Shocker Madness Oct. 25

[Shox21]

A question regarding radios in the Arena (for anyone who would be kind enough to respond): I have always wanted to use a radio in the arena, but the reception was either crappy or nonexistent. Anyone who has had luck with being able to listen before and during the game, I would appreciate knowing what to purchase.

[hutchshox]

do they still use the fm frequency? This was in "real time" and came in clear! If so refresh my memory on the fm frequency!

[19SHOCKER76]

This one works well for me.

Thanks 19SHOCKER76,

That is the one I bought tonight, do you happen to know the frequency Mike uses in Koch?

[DUShock]

I figure since I'm damn near 40 this season I will break down and get a headset. I will buy one for my father-in-law as well, my wife won't complain about my fashion mistake since "Daddy" has one too. :)

Go Shocks!!!!

I do not remember the FM freq, I always listen on the AM side, reception is just fine.

Go for the earbuds, your wife will "like" them better.

Try using the bud in the ear opposite from her, that way you can hear every insightful word she says. :roll:

[Shockfan8]

LOL..........great idea

[MadaboutWu]

I am going to twist this thread a little by asking,

What are you doing to get ready for Shocker Basketball???

I am taking stock of all my Shocker gear and making sure it is clean.

I check Shockernet multiple times a day even though it is basically dead.

I got an Official Shocker Basketball mug from Jock's and Jills.

We have a Yorkie in the family, and we got him a black Shocker shirt for him to wear from Jocks and Jills. It is like having a little Wushock running around.... LOL

I have my Shocker basketball mounted on a base on my PC table.

I put a Basketball background on my PC.

And the 25th can not get here soon enough ...
:goshocks:

I laughed outloud at the part about the Yorkie . Showed it to my wife and she lol'ed too.

Thanks for the tip! Ear buds it will be. I will happily go "off ear" even though she's quite the chatty Cathy with the wife of the nice folks next to us. To her credit she's very pleased to cheer for a basket or block but any talk of O or D schemes is between Bob & I over our lovely wives :lol:

I got a chuckle out of how the events at Shocker Madness are dependent on how long the VB match lasts. So by my estimates, that should mean the basketball starts around 6:45? 7:00 tops?

[RoyalShock]

As quickly as we dispatched Indiana State on Saturday, it was still over an hour. I would say 7:15 at the earliest. More like 7:30-7:45.

[kcshocker11]

I cant wait. I just have a good feeling about our upcoming season.

[Aargh]

We will get our first hints to the answers to some questions:

Can Durley play D? How do Stutz and Durley D up against each other?

Does Stutz have any kind of vertical?

Can anyone other than Hatch hit from 3?

How is Griskenas coming along?

Is Stutz (at this stage of his career) foul-prone or timid when it gets physical down low? I don't mean to imply that those are the only 2 options.

How much quicker has Hatch gotten?

Does Durley still think he should be jacking up 3's?

How quick and athletic are Murry and Kyles?

Is there a leader for the PG spot?

Lots of questions and we won't get many answers at Shocker Madness, but we will get hints and that could fuel enough debate to keep us going until the season starts.

If I understand the plan correctly the Shocker - Drake VB game will be free of charge and, in effect, part of Shocker Madness festivities with the Fun Zone for kids opening at 5:00 pm.

My sources tell me that the length of the VB match will be inversely proportional to the size of the crowd that is in attendance for the VB match. The larger the crowd the shorter the match.

If we get a dissappointing crowd Lambo plans on throwing the first two sets and delaying the action whenever he can. Shouldn't last more than 2.5 hours.

A mega crowd and the Shockers go for the quick put away. 60 minutes should be enough for a motivated Shocker team to complete a sweep.

It is really all up to the fans.
