for some reason in that photo the player looks normal sized and the kids look like midgets.

[Bird]

For some reason I remember SIU winning the MVC title game.

[blueblood]

For some reason its hard to argue with "oddball" with Shockers in a picture.

[SiuCubFan8]

Why are they so happy to beat ISU?

It clinched the regular season valley title by TWO full games. That is what the caption should have said. So, yeah SIU got hot and won three games in a row while the Shox did it over the entire season.

Ok that makes sense.

SIU has done it for 5 seasons and WSU for one. if you are going to be a smart***** when i ask a simple question.

History doesn't matter. Only the most current season does.

Both accomplished the goal. Get to the NCAA. They just did it in different ways.

[crjays1]

OK,

Whoever placed the chip on MKR shoulder, would you please remove it. :clap:

[redbirdtim]

The Redbird is Levi Dyer (who grew another inch recently), now a 6'11" soon-to-be junior.

[Ozell]

Telling a Cub fan that history doesn't matter, how ironic.

[C0|db|00ded]

And we're off....

...:cool:

[kyyle23]

honestly, why is that such an oddball photo? Seems pretty normal for fans to rush the court when their team clinches the conference title at home.

Don't ask MKR questions he is crabby today!:Jumpy:

It isn't because of the fans that rushed the floor. It is more about who attended. I circled the reason it was listed as "oddball"

yeah we know the formula ... we did it the previous four years in a row while you guys we're earning automatic bids to the NIT.

unless we're talking about 1981 and wichita state was ranked no. 2 in the nation and playing tulsa at home.
THEN history matters.

[DaShox]

or #1 Wichita State vs. #2 Michigan on December 14, 1964.

yeah, or that one!:yes:

[Fraydog]

Speaking of rushing the floor, why does it always have to be a point of contention when our students rush the floor here at Southern? Maybe because we've rushed it before when not acutally winning anything? :helpsmilie:

[iSASO]

yeah, or that one!:yes:


Or maybe if we're talking about the last team, currently in the MVC, to make it to the Elite Eight.

yeah, that too!:original:

Yep, that's worth sticking in the back pocket for the next time you stick your foot in your mouth.

[Dawgbit]

And the "most current" season is next season, right?:naughty:

Kinda like golf.

I like it, looking forward. Hell I'm chomping at the bit for October and the madness, with the impotence of Gene's program over the past several years and no football, ugh! :banghead:

Go Valley!!

Go Shocks!!!!

LOL! hypocrites, do you want me to go back to past threads and start pulling out quotes where all you shocker fans state the complete opposite! It would take me a while to post all the quotes where you state history does matter, as well as lots of space. BUT! I'm more than willing to prove a point on this and do that, but for the sake of the rest of the board and the humility of all shocker fans, I highly suggest you back off your claim of "history doesn't matter." We all know that is a complete hypocritical statement.

And yet, you missed the sarcasm in the post.

I feel like that is an underlying theme with DawgieStyle AKA Gnrfr!:chair:

[MSNSaluki]

can we all try to get along this fine morning?:yes: :yes:

[SubGod22]

What would be the fun in that joey?

[DawgieStyle]

I don't know how you derive sarcasm from that statement. It's pretty short, concise and straight to the point. There are no little happy faces, or winks to add a little humor even. If you are trying to be sarcastic, that wasn't it. I'm all for subtle, that's cool, but theres not even a hint of subtelty in such a short statement. I wish I were taking it of context as well, but that was the entire post. Sorry for not picking up on your sarcasm, but it just wasn't there. Sorry.

Well, the whole history doesn't/does matter argument has been going on on this site for as long as I can remember. If you are a WSU fan and you use history as an argument it doesn't matter, if you are any other valley fan using history to refute a WSU fan history does matter. Its not my fault you newbies don't know or can't pay attention enough to pick it up. It was there, you just didn't get it, thats all.

I agree on the history thing. I would venture that every fan is a hypocrite on that subject. Sorry I didn't pick up on the sarcasm..truly. But for me it just wasn't there. But we've got other more important things to argue about.

Man [after] reading this thread and I feel like my IQ dropped 10 points. It's going to be a long off-season :helpsmilie:

only 10?
coming to this site has been like standing in line at the grocery store debating on whether to check out the latest National Enquirer.
common sense tells you not to look but you get drawn in and next thing you know, you're immersed.
