Stress Week at Wichita

[SycamoreStateofMind]

I'd have to read a book on Uri Geller to understand the deep mysticism behind the skill, which forces HC "game officials" to look up at ya....:freaked:

Easier just to bend a plastic spoon while on lunch in the Union Hospital cafeteria.

HA! Yeah I've had a good deal of success with that over the years. As I always tell people, it helps that the Hulman Center is so dead most of the time. Just have to pick my moments to yell something completely stupid.

I think he is trying to tell you that you have dreamy eyes.

I wouldn't put that past him Jason.

Naaa, Watching other people struggle doesn't get me off at all.

Thanks. Friday night was the first X ever to see Daveinth, strain to drink a beer. We looked at each other bout the same time, and said, Man, I don't think I can drink another beer. We did, but it was a struggle.

Atleast you guys didn't get kicked out of anyplace... Cough.

Only because "loyalty" wasn't an issue...:lol:

We'll see how this NEW A.D. handles any similar incidents when the Shox return for the MVC Baseball Post-season in 2 1/2 months...they still have the SAME derelict pitching coach that authorized the "assault" of a UE player in '99...ruins a kids baseball career, yet continues as an NCAA coach. You figure:

Lunardi still has WSU in as an 8 seed. Not part of any "last four in" type of category either. I'd say they're sitting on fairly solid ground right now.

You live too close to Wichita to have an objective opinion....................lol. My bracket has them on the outside looking in when all is said and done.

According to RealTimeRPI, the shockers dropped 10 places, now down to 47. I would say that puts them out, but who knows. A lot can still happen.

If they do not make it, you can guarantee they will fire up the "leave the MVC" talk again. Not sure I could blame them, but the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

I am curious how Creighton feels about the move from MVC. Probably making more money so I assume they are happy. Not many Tournament appearances though. Remember when Tulsa was a perennial power house in basketball in the MVC. Heard anything from them since they left long ago?

It's all relative, in the time that Tulsa has left (1996-97 1st year out of MVC)... they've won the NIT (2001), the CBI (2008), had 6 NCAA bids, incl one run to the Elite 8 (2000), won 4 conf titles in 2 different conferences, won 2 conf tourney titles in 2 different conferences...
had 3 additional NITs bids and another CBI bid... so in the past 20 seasons... 17 winning seasons, 12 post-season trips, 6 conf titles (reg season and tourney) and two titles... I think if I was a Tulsa fan, I'd probably have enjoyed the past 20 years... the biggest downside? remaining a coaching turnstile... 8 different coaches, incl (1 interim)

Thanks for the research. They actually have done better than I remember. I agree that would be a good run.

Shockernet is a hoot. Better than watching old Red Skelton movies. Along with why they should play in the Big Dance and the belief that the whole NCAA is against them they have started a thread about the "conspiracy in St. Louis". Why "forearm push off" Van Fleet gets offensive fouls called on him to Elgin being after them for Marshall transgressions 2 yrs. ago. Absolutely hilarious..............talk about sore ass losers and poor sports. Just another reason why I hope they play in the NIT.
