I honestly think that most of their fans are just mad that no one in this league misses them. They all thought we would beg them to stay and we all happily showed them the door. I honestly hate Wichita State, but it's not because they left. I've always hated them, because their fans are jerks.

Then you go back and there's the Anthony Molina (former Evansville baseball player) story. The guy had the chance to go pro, but Wichita's pitcher threw the ball at him while he was on deck because he didn't like that he was timing his pitches. Now Molina is partially blind in his left eye and it ended his pro chances.

So yeah we don't miss the jerks from Wichita. I was SOOOO happy when they left. And for the record I will be rooting for the Thundering Herd and any other team that might play Wichita in the tournament.


Bravo, sir. Great post. I don't have the same animosity but I understand how you feel.

I have a lot of experience with Wichita State fans. For the most part, they are honest, decent, hard-working Americans. They tend to be older. Very passionate about WSU athletics but they are hard to reason with because they are incredibly myopic.

They get so wrapped up in the action on the court/field/whatever that they forget about class, civility, respect, and other core value things. It's all about beating you and letting you know about how great fan support they have, etc. If they verbally accost the family of your baseball coach, well, it is to be expected, they were just being passionate about WSU. They don't mean real harm or anything, they just get lost in the moment and forget about the big picture.

I wish them well in the AAC. I have met several in my travels that I get excited when WSU wins something because I know how much it means to them. On the whole, the WSU fan base is very nouveau riche and I am happy that we can move on with the schools we have.

The truth is there are jerks in every fan base. There were a number of knowledgeable and fair minded wsu fans on here. Guys like cdizzle and wufan among others. I enjoyed bantering with them. The problem is there are a few wsu posters that are over the top egotistical mixed with equal parts arrogance and superiority.

If you want to see something funny check out the AAC forum. Cold and several others have created chaos there just as they did here. I don't miss that at all.

Shocker fans justifying what Christensen and Stephenson did because Molina would years later be convicted of child molestation is just priceless.

Was Molina known to have any criminal activities when Ben decided to aim a fastball at his head? No, his only offense was being an opposing player who dared step into the on deck circle.

In addition, any ticket attorney or above would be able to easily make a defense that Molina's deviate conduct is all a result of having his brains scrambled by a 95mph fastball

I would legitimately love to see a study on that one. Wichita State should even pay for it.

A little embarrassed that some people thought Cold was typical of behavior in the MVC. Hopefully the Shockers will be too busy with trying to stay in the top 3 of the 7th best conference next year to worry about trash talking the 8th.

Wowww. They are even more insufferable over there. Although they are using similar tactics. Bashing Houston, who just beat them, because Wichita had more fans in attendance. Calling a Houston player "classless" because he shushed the Wichita fans after the win (after dropping 30+ on them)...despite become snowflakes when Marshall is called out for any classless moves. Unreal.

All that said, agree with a lot of the above--there are definitely some cool and knowledgeable Shocker fans. And they do have a really good squad--I appreciate what Marshall has built there and will cheer for them in the tourney. But man...reading that thread made me angry (and looking at Wichita's defense this year, it appears they have forgotten how to "Play Angry").

Are you a healthcare professional? I am and it's a fact that a head injury can cause drastic personality changes. Did that happen in this case? That's not for certain without further medical and/or psychiatric expert analysis. But it's certainly possible and I sincerely doubt Wichita state would want any part of a study of the case.
