Shockers vs. Tulsa - Intrust Bank Arena

[WuDrWu]

Are you saying Bluejay fans are willing to spend more than Shocker fans? Don't sell yourself short. No cut intended on the Koch, but the Shocker fans are going to like the feel of plush seating with a Bud Light in their hand. If you couple that with a large profit the Koch could be the new volleyball headquarters.

The Chuck is the Volleyball headquarters....did I understand that correctly? Did you mean ONLY the Volleyball headquarters?

[blueblood]

I don't follow volleyball. I was just saying the Koch could be used for other things. I am just saying he who makes the most money on college sports usually does the best in college sports.

Not much to argue there.

Amongst the "diehard" WSU fan base, there seems to be quite a bit of irritation and angst regarding tonight's game.

It will be interesting to see what that's like after the game.

Are you crazy? Have you seen Nayka Benitez perform a jump serve in short shorts?

[blueblood]

ISASO is irritated and and dealing with angst all of the time so for him it might not even be the venue. I have actually met Nayka at a function. I have no problems with her.

Careful or I will sic X on you, (segway into another hysterical historical Tulsa/WSU game memory)

There was no more intimidating player than McDaniel. In a game at Tulsa, Kennedy remembers a Tulsa player trying to give McDaniel an elbow. It missed X, but hit teammate Bruce Vanley in the face instead. Richardson accused McDaniel of giving Vanley the shot, so when the teams soon went to a time-out, McDaniel walked over to the TU bench and told Richardson, "(Blank) you."

Byron Boudreaux, a former Tulsa player, was in El Dorado not too long ago on a recruiting trip. He's an assistant coach at Washington, and he and Butler County Community College coach Randy Smithson sat down for an hour and talked about the old days.

"He said his biggest memory was when X drop-stepped on him and dunked on him," Smithson said. "(Boudreaux) fell down and X came down on top of him, straddling him.

"He said X had those big ol' eyes and bald head, and he threw a punch that ended up about an inch from (Boudreaux). He thought he was done."

I am glad you don't have any "problems" with her....I was just saying I don't know how someone cannot be a Volleyball fan having seen her in action....and that's just 1 of many reasons.

Soccer is about the only womans sport and can watch. As a sport.

I am really not trying to be "smarmy" but are you a close personal friend of '99?

Ok, I am trying to be a little smarmy.

How many does IBA hold? Is this a sellout?
