What we need is a thread started for Wichita State Vs Illinois State....keep the petty arguments in that thread, and then go from there before every thread is the Shocker fans and Redbird fans getting into 3rd grade arguments...

If we're going to start talking about dumb fan bases at least we don't have people wearing Saluki sock puppets at games.

Do you know how good you have to be before people start merchandising sock puppets of your mascot?

Proof or it didn't happen.

I rarely say much positive about Wichita, but I do enjoy when SubGod posts.

Sadly, I haven't seen her in a movie in forever. Apparently she's done a little TV that I haven't seen.

And the profile picture is about all I bring. I used to have a few pics of her in my sig but was asked to remove them years ago by whoever was in charge.

If you didn't want a response, then insinuating that calls made "warranted or not" 3 days before the game probably didn't need to be said. You're clearly saying WSU is going to get home cooking and that you're going to lose because of it. I'm reacting to that inane idea. You got defensive about it for no other reason than the fact that I said what you were implying.

If I made the same statement before the game in Normal, you would have blown an OMG gasket.


Late to the party...but if you put (warranted or not) you are building in an excuse.

If you weren't you would just mention potential foul trouble and leave it at that.

I was simply leaving all alternatives available. It's part of the game of basketball, sometimes warranted sometimes not. Wichita fans, like Fever, should know this given how much they talk crap about UNI getting calls for their flopping. Referees are part of the game.
In no way, in my mind, was I trying to come up with a built-in excuse for a loss 3 days in advance as I stated multiple times after the fact. Just recognizing that the potential is there for EVERY basketball game with human referees involved.


But, really, as you can read the follow up posts, you just brought up a subject that was squashed and caused pointless confrontation again. Good work.
