Buffalo @ Evansville Coaches v Cancer

[Hawkfan]

Once again, shockerfan displays ignorance. Dog bites man.

A history question for our nouveau Wheatshocker followers:

Who is this man?

pwned!

I have to say I find incredibly irritating that our star player gets hurt, nobody knows to what extent, nobody knows how long he will be out and the first thing out of certain people's mouths are...boy this is gonna screw over the conference. You know what, right now, I couldn't give 2 s**t's about the conference. My only concerns right now are about the well being of this young man and how our team is going handle these circumstances. Furthermore, trying to predict how we're going to handle Colt graduating based on last night is beyond ridiculous. There is a huge difference in rebuilding a team in the offseason and trying to adjust 6 minutes into the second game of the season. I'm not saying we're not going to struggle next season, I don't know. But I do think we will be much better prepared to deal with losing Colt next season than we were last night (seems stupid to actually have to say that, but apparently it's necessary for some).

This is a conference message board so it's safe to talk about how it affects the league IMO. No one wants Colt out or is wishing him ill so don't take it that way. On the Aces board the focus is surely his health but here it's the impact. I hope he can play soon as does everyone here I'm sure .

That's a fair point, it just struck a raw nerve last night when I read it and then to see the direction the thread took last night and this morning, I had to "speak up".

A Bradley fan talking smack?
Lord, I've seen everything.

Don't blame you for going there, given the state of the current program.

I hope Colt has a quick recovery...he seems like a solid young man and deserves to finish his E-ville career on his terms. God forbid, but if Colt's injury lingers and prohibits him from returning, does that mean WSU finishes 8th in Casey's conference rankings instead of 9th?

This board makes me embarrassed to be a Shocker. It's a shame Colt got hurt. Rather than being pricks you should be supportive, if WSU lost Carl Hall in the first half, our game would get interesting in a hurry as well.

Well said!

Good point, LMS.

My gosh. Shocker fans have a short memory.

Were none of you around in late 80s and most of the 90s?

I don't have the inclination to look up the numbers, but I'd bet that they look an awful lot like EU's won/loss record. Perhaps they were worse.

Mike Cohen, Thompson, Randy Smithson: legends of Shocker coaches.

What's more remarkable is that one of the NCAA's most penalized teams is having any success these days without breaking the rules. Or are they?

So, what's that old adage about throwing stones and glass houses?

You were doing fine in the first four paragraphs and then you wandered off into Dumbville.
