Murray State at Missouri State - Tues 7pm ESPN3

[PeKaph]

I liked those "Unfinished Business" T-shirts...they apparently don't have an expiration date! You can reuse them over and over again!

[DieHardMSUFan]

I liked the shirt that said, SWOMO and Creighton girls like the Shocker!

Very funny.

Now I will tell you what is really funny....the two finger, one finger shocker sign you guys so love to show on TV was stolen from a Colorado HIGH SCHOOL that made it famous several years ago when they pasted it all over their yearbook....

Stole if from a HIGH SCHOOL!!! hahahahahaha

Can you cite your source please?

They've been doing the "W" for 10-15 years. But I really doubt they stole the symbol from a Colorado high school. I never knew about it. Did anybody ever hear about it? How did you know about it?


MSU fans are in elite company. They, along with Evansville and Illinois State, have been absent from the NCAA's the longest. Maybe they can form another trendy t-shirt along the lines of "Party like it's 1999"..?

Sorry, got the state wrong....working off memory. Hannover High School in 2000 in Pennsylvania. Made national news when a bunch of their students held up the "two in the pink, one in the stink" symbol all over their yearbook. You can look it up all over the 'net, I don't need to cite any sources.
Seems to match your "estimated" 10 - 15 year time frame to have stolen it. I guess YOU would need to cite your source to prove otherwise. I cannot find any references anywhere that show Wichita State used it prior to 2000.

So for now...unless proven otherwise...they stole it from a High School.

University of Houston used it in 1953.

A lot of similarities between Cougar High and Wichita State if you think about it.

I was in the WSU student section in 1998 and it was used then. The ASU Devils have been using the same or very simliar gesture for longer than that as a "pitchfork".

I dont think WSU prolly "Stole" it...In HS everyone talked about the Shocker...prolly just thought "dude we are the shockers!" it's prolly not premeditated lol

What channel is ESPN3? I only know about ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU.

It's espn3.com

Bears up 38-31 at half. Murray St is small and very athletic, probably quicker than us at every position. They are pushing pace and we are content to ride along with them. Both teams playing well.

For those interested:
Weems has 8 pts, probly 3 boards, 0 chest bumps, 0 crowd waves, 0 bench stares and 0 taunts.

Seems to be the stats everyone in here cares about, but he has done none, and I have been watching.
