I have no interest in what any WSU player does or does not do.

I have less than no interest.

[BEARZ77]

I don't have a problem with it at all. I'm interested in how these 2 players are doing and if they truly make it to the nba. They are no longer in the Valley but they started their careers here.

Plus Aargh is a respectful poster. He's not posting it in an attempt to show superiority. At least in IMO.

I disagree; if you read on the Shocker board , argh is anything but respectful of the league. I think having interest in what players from WSU, Creighton or whomever do is fine; that's what the individual team and league boards are for, along with news services. Anyone can follow using those resources. WSU is not in anyway connected with this league and to post here is just trolling.

The over-abundance of WSU topics on this board were bad enough when the Shockers were part of the MVC. In my opinion, all WSU topics should be locked or removed from the board.

He's been respectful on this site though. To be honest I don't care what's on Shockernet. IMO that's their board and their business.

Imo it's a bit weird how people on both sides of the aisle want to act like there's never been any association. I guess it's understandable if you only want to care about your team but as a fan of college basketball and someone who has been connected to the MVC I'm going to care about it for at least for another year or two. I love watching Alize play and will probably tune into SWOMO games when I run across them on ESPN3. I hope to see a Barry Hinson news conference pop up on my twitter feed every once in a while. I hope to see Bradley eventually pop up as a possible at-large when I'm doing my own personal bracketology every week in January and February. On ShockerNet, someone posted about Jake Odum playing Summer League and that is news I'm interested in. I will still probably check all the MVC school message boards for a while. They're in my rotation of sites I browse. AAC fan boards have not made it into my rotation yet, old habits I guess.

I imagine that a lot of relationships end like this in Wichita.

Person A says Person B is terrible-- they're awful!!! They are abused by Person B. They don't get respect from Person B. They've never been beaten by Person B, and they have a longstanding relationship with Person B and many mutual friends with Person B, but Person B is a lazy person who doesn't give them enough of what they deserve in comparison to other couples.

Yattata Yada Yada.

FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS!!!!!!

And then they get the divorce papers in the mail and they want to call their ex to find out what's going on with the kids and the plants and the neighbors and the repairs on the house, etc.

The correct answer is: f*** YOU--- GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!!!

Again I disagree in that if he was being respectful, he wouldn't keep posting Shocker info on the MVC board. And while I agree I think it's fine for him or any Shocker fan to post whatever they want on their board, that doesn't change what his opinion is. To me there's a difference between discretion and respect; if someone insults you in another setting, but doesn't repeat it at work , that's showing discretion but hardly respect. He still insulted you. It's not like it wasn't said just because he isn't repeating it . You're accountable for what you say no matter where or when, but I do agree discretion at least allows the pretense of civility.

Yes but he (Argh) actually asked if posters on this board had an interest in following Shamet and McDuffie. I truthfully answered that I did have an interest. So he did ask first and maybe I'm to blame? I just didn't realize how it would come across to other posters I guess.

So I'll bow out of this one. If Argh chooses not to post anymore on this topic I'll just get my info elsewhere.

I can agree here, but the level of importance has to be higher than a random college basketball personality predicting pre-July 4th a player of the year in a conference we're not affiliated to. If this were in season and he was a nominee for an award or doing something special, then sure go ahead and share.

Shamet and McDuffie were (and always will have been) MVC players. They won't end their careers in the Valley, but they played there. That makes them pretty much like Reggie Lynch, MiKyle McIntosh, Teddy Hawkins, and a lot of other players who left the Valley.

Shamet and McDuffie didn't have a choice about leaving or staying in the Valley.
