Sounds like the Lady Shocks may have been propertly p-oed with the loss to Pitt, although I still say give Pitt some credit."We were all extremely mad, upset and frustrated," middle Stephanie Tokarz said. "It seemed like everyone was trying really hard, but we just couldn't put the ball away."
Nevertheless, as disappointing as the loss to Pitt was, I was pleased with the way the Ladies responded the next day against Louisville. Let's hope that carries over to the rest of the season.

Mel's new words:
Sept. 10, 2009
If ever you have come to a Wichita State Volleyball game you may have noticed we draw a rather large crowd. In fact, we have been top 10 in attendance the past couple of years. Our crowd is one of the things WSU is well known for. Despite how happy we are about our large and intense crowd, we are a little bummed that we don’t have a legit “student section” that paints up and heckles (nicely of course).
Now, I’m sure we have plenty of students at our games but they may not be sitting together like basketball games.
So this is my shout out to ALL students . . . come to our games, sit together, paint up and heckle your heads off! Make it happen! GO SHOX!Some posts are not visible to me. :peaceful:
Don't worry too much about it. Just do all you can do and let the rough end drag.Comment

Maybe we need Cold back? How about if Shocker ALUMS get painted up and yell their heads off??? Alums could show up the students. SN, what do you say?Some posts are not visible to me. :peaceful:

"WE ARE A FAMILY! GET UP EVERYBODY AND SING!" This last week was an interesting week for your Shockers. We are experimenting with some team building. Every day we are judged by our coaches on how we contribute to the team as a leader. According to our coaches there are 4 categories:
L- leader- one who supports their teammates yet demands more of them while physically contributing
G- giver- one who supports their teammates and physically contributes
C- complimentary- one who shows up to practice yet doesn't show leadership
T-taker- one who takes away from the general feeling of practice
Based on the letter you receive, you are split into two groups. The Core- which consists of L's and G's and The Periphery-which consists of C's and T's. Before practice we meet within these groups. In The Core, we have multi-colored string that we pass to people we would like to talk to. For example, I could throw the string to Stephanie Tokarz and I would tell her one thing I like about her and one thing I think she needs to work on for the day. The Periphery does the same type of excercise, minus the string. The ultimate goal is to have everyone in the core.
This excercise helps our team move forward and get better every day. I think our ability to talk to each other about our problems is making us better physically.
In my opinion, this weekend was a reflection of our hard work both on and off the court. We played well against two good teams in the Valley. We are looking forward to a great week of practice and a SPECTACULAR win over Missouri State this Friday.

During an interview a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a few Shockers by the name of "Geeter" and "Walter". For those of you who thought I had imaginary friends, you are mistaken. I thought it would be a good idea to dispell this "rumor" by giving you some of the common nicknames we have for people on our team.
Lindsey Engel: Lindz/ Engel
Emily Stockman: Em
Elizabeth Field: Field
Sarah Waldorf: Waldo/ Walter (Walt for short)
Mary Elizabeth Hooper: Hooper
Emily Adney: Adney
Stephanie Tokarz: Tok
Melissa Granville: Mel/ Melman
Kim Wadsworth: Berly/ Gibbler
Jackie Church: Yackie/ Church-lady
Lindsey Eckenrode: Eckenroid/ T-Rex
Katie Vogts: Vogts
Jada Witham: Darth Jader
Brianna Kaiser: Bri
Amanda Backes: Backes
Alysa Heath: Heath
Katie Niggemeyer: KT/ Katie Grace
Chelsey Feekin: Feek
Haley Dotson: Haleybot
Sam Sanders: Samuel L.
Sarah McGee: Geeter/ McGee
Dana Loganbill: Dana
Ashley Andrade: Andrade

I like some of the nicknames and others could use some work. Of course, it is helpful to know the personalities of the players so any suggestions I would have would be very superficial.
I like:
Sarah Waldorf: Waldo/ Walter (Walt for short)
Kim Wadsworth: Berly/ Gibbler (Although the origin for this is a mystery to me)
Jackie Church: Yackie/ Church-lady
Lindsey Eckenrode: Eckenroid/ T-Rex
Jada Witham: Darth Jader
Chelsey Feekin: Feek
Sarah McGee: Geeter/ McGee
Some Food For Thought - my thoughts in parenthesis
Emily Stockman: Em (Super Em) or (Luke -- as in Skywalker)
Mary Elizabeth Hooper: Hooper (Hoop)
Emily Adney: Adney (Badney)
Stephanie Tokarz: Tok (Olive -- my wife's nickname for Tok)
Amanda Backes: Backes (Amen-da)
Chelsey Feekin: Feek (Freak - in a good way)
Sarah McGee: Geeter/ McGee (Big Mac)
Ashley Andrade: Andrade (Android)
Good blog by Melman! :good:Comment

"Badney" sounds too close to "Bad Knee" for my comfort.
Stephanie Tokarz: "The Doc" (or just "Doc".)Some posts are not visible to me. :peaceful:

For those of you who were not 10 yrs old in the early 90s.....
Gibbler refers to a character from the GREAT show Full House... Kimmie Gibbler.
Berly is just taking the end of kimBERLY.Comment

[quote="SpanglerFan316"]Good point on EA. How 'bout "Bad-Adney".Originally posted by 1972Shocker
I assume that's because Stephanie is going into pre-med? Does that mean she may continue her education at KU? :shock:Comment

Just to clarify that was the 1990's and not the 1890's, right? :DOriginally posted by shockersigep921Comment
