Back at the hotel- very entertaining game. WSU played marvelously in the second half.
Fun anecdote- I sat with friends in a block of about 10 Shocker fans in a lower-bowl Bluejay section. The area was split roughly as follows: 40% WSU fans, 40% Creighton, 20% ISUr. WSU has a tradition where its fans "Stand for Defense" at the start of every game- we stay on our feet and clap until the opponent scores a field goal. Sometimes that is 10 seconds, sometimes a couple minutes.
Well, today it was an eternity (the 8:30 mark in the first half). At around the 18:00 minute mark, the ISUr fans five rows back grew testy and started screaming at us to "go to our own section and sit the hell down." This was repeated by two elderly morons about 6 different times. After time #5, I turned around and told them to score the damn ball and we'd be happy to sit.
The poor Redbird fans reported us to the ushers at the 16:00 mark, who came and made us sit down. In retrospect it was good fortune because my hands would have been completely exhausted by the 8:30 mark when ISUr's putrid offense finally lucked into a bucket. The Creighton fans nearby thought the Redbird fans in that section were laughably retarded for reporting us to big brother.
Welcome to the abyss, Redbirds. Muller is the worst coach in the MVC and it's only going to get worse from here.
