Bracket Busters

[WstateU]

Why leave it to chance? I'll call our coach, you call yours, and we can schedule up a home-and-away series like a couple of NCAA sweet-16 and final-four prospects should!

See, wasn't that easy?

This is definitely a rematch I would like to see too. But no more Skinn-ey 3 point daggers at the Chuck please.

Well.....take it for what it's worth, but the word we've heard through the grapevine is that the Coach L wanted to continue the series, but Marshall declined.

I know our fans would love to see you guys again.

This better not be true. Anybody want to ask Marshall point blank about it on the coach's show?

:-x :-x

I believe HCGM takes on a "BCS" like hat when it comes to scheduling. Is the Tulsa series the only quality non-tourney games scheduled under his watch? If the TCU and Texas Tech series were put together and signed after Marshall's arrival, then I'll back off from my position, but I have a feeling they were already in the works when he arrived.

I do not disagree with his position of not doing one and dones. You can play several BCS schools at neutral sites through tourneys as long as you can continue to get into them. I think they are always trying to do this.

However, I think they favor having one or two more buy-in home games over setting up home and homes with other quality mid major programs. I see a lot of other good mid major programs doing this, so I believe this route is available to WSU if they want to do it. Unfortunately, they may not want to "man up".

We voted. You're elected to call in, SF.

It's unanimous; we'll hang up and listen. :D

I honestly don't mind the occasional one and done at a high level team, assuming it's the right team. We can't be picky and buy out teams we know are below us and then play the hypocrite game and not expect to be treated differently by some of the BCS'ers. I hate that.

I have yet to call in on a radio show so I think we should leave that to the more experienced.. :good:

[ShockTalk]

Come on, SF. We know what quality questions get asked by the more experienced. :roll:

Shucks, I guess we'll leave the callin' to 6-pack Ron and 12-pack Dennis. :D

[forevershockerfan]

Has anybody ever called the Coaches show and asked Coach Marshall if he reads SN? I'll hang up and listen.

Man, I could only imagine if they discovered the internets and Shockernet.. :roll:

Or have they?...

[proshox]

No need to call. Coach does read SN. He must like the unintentional comedy we provide.

I wonder if he has ever made a post? Now that would be crazy.

Hey Shockers! I'd love for GMU to match up with WSU again, and (if Mason takes care of business at William & Mary like we should) it looks like that's gonna happen.

I love this series. You all have a classy and knowledgeable fan base, and always put a good product on the court. As other have said, I wish we'd play each other every year and skip the guesswork/uncertainty of the BB.

I would love to see the Shox host a good GMU squad! I hope it happens

Don't some of the matchups usually get leaked before the "official" announcement?

Official announcements are on Monday. Hope we get a good draw!
