Petition to rename the sub forum to Tropicalshox Recruiting Forum

[Kung Wu]

We all appreciate what Shocks02 has done. But isn’t that like saying they shouldn’t have named Rupp arena after Rupp because it is disrespectful to Calipari?

It's a valid point, and Trop was next level for sure -- not just in organization but in duration. He put in the effort for a looong time.

I'm not saying "no", but I don't want to disregard other people's effort at the same time. It's worth of a healthy back and forth.

If I am a recent addition to the board or a new Shocker not registered yet (or especially a media guy/fan from another board) and I see:

Wichita State Men's Basketball
Wichita State Baseball
...
Tropicalshox Wichita State Recruiting

I'd be really confused.

I'm just not sure where the happy medium is?

Let's face it. You're often confused. lol

Maybe add something on the beginning of "Discuss future and potential Shocker athletes" like "In Memory of tropicalshox"?

Shocks02 used in an analogy with Calipari. Nice!

I am the slimy scumsucker of hoops recruiting!

How about "The Shocks02 Slimy Scumsucker Hoops recruiting report in the TropicalShox Recruiting Forum" kinda just rolls off the tongue eh?

I don’t visit a lot of boards, but do recall seeing many “Memorial” forums.

I also understand the precedent of naming one and not any others, but think people could figure it out.

If a memorial thread title would be confusing, then I question where your degree was earned.

Mine was Chikaskia River Ele-Hi-Sity.

I thought of transferring there, but my Noodling for Catfish course wouldn't transfer.

But at least the fish is predictable.
