HockeyShock's in a foul mood again

[pinstripers]

At the risk of a pi$$ing contest, who was it that "invented" the left-right-left-right chant? Where and when?

[Ricardo del Rio]

I believe it is more of a octaparalellagram than anything....I heard it this morning and its been knawing at me all day......

Octagon of Doom..thats a like a bad kung fu movie

octaparalellagram?

Dude, seriously? No kiddin'?

ShockBand, can you take this, just for the sake of getting the facts right?

:clap: :wsu_posters: :yahoo: :clap:

30 years ago they did it at K-State, and I doubt that they were the first.

To my knowledge, and hopefully ShockBand will verify this, WE started it - with the baseball team when opposing coaches would walk out to the mound after we shelled a pitcher. I don't recall KSU doing it anytime before the last couple of years (since Martin has been coach), and from what I've heard we were doing it in the early 80's, so your claim has me a bit confused and concerned.

[ShockBand]

Yes, we have done this in baseball as far back as the 80s, and maybe we originated using it for baseball, but as far as before that, I don't know. I know with a quick Google search there are a lot of schools that do it, and some apparently for quite some time.

The Octagon of Doom? :cowbell:

[Wheatshocker]

It sure wasn't doom for the Shockers when Randy Smithson's 1997-98 team won there. Or Turgeon's first trip there as WSU coach, also victorious, in 2001-02.

I was at both of those games, and a quiet, half-empty gym is the atmosphere I remember.

[kcshocker11]

Maybe they mean gloom!

[WuDrWu]

Want a disgusting thought both Shocker fans and KState fans?


WSU has won AT Omaha about 3 times more often the last 25 years than Kansas State has won at HOME against KU.

[pinstripers]

I used to watch a game, sometimes two, every night. I can see the day coming where I never watch college basketball at all. That was a very competitive and exciting game, but I would think that they whistled 49 fouls out of possible 1,000. That may be what basketball is coming to, but it will have to go there without me.

[Ashockalypse]

What will make me quit watching is them continuing to give 4 or less bids to non-Big Six conferences. Sorry, give me a technical foul for changing the subject. Although Nantz and Packer got chided for whining about 2006, the powers that be ultimately paid us back in successive years.
