What I can't believe about a good number of refined fans is how smart mouthed and cocky they are when they have had so little success. If you ever have success, you'll be unbearable.

Ouch.

Can anyone tell me if they are Division 1?


I am serious. Will this game effect our RPI? Anyone know?


Arkansas-Pine Bluff has more NCAA appearances in that stretch than our next opponent. So maybe they're a transitional D-1 I would assume?

No, I was serious. What makes you think otherwise?

Just goes with winning. Fanbases swell and the degree of arrogance does as well. Every winning team in every sport has it.

I've heard a lot of horror stories about SIU fans during their recent heyday, but SIU has the nicest fans on here now. Only the even-keeled people live through the lean years.

Wait, I'm confused? Who trolled? Me or Illstew?

By the way, does anybody else find the irony of Stew's signature funny?

No trolling, I have had the upmost respect for WSU fans for the past several years. I don't see why that is hard to believe. They represent their school well. :Cheers:


As for my signature, touché. I'm am a loyal fan, win or lose. Even if there is more lose :). (At least I have the Blackhawks to get me through!)

To add to this game if you haven't checked out the Shocker board, I strongly suggest you do for some good reading regarding this game, especially the last few pages. Illinois St also has 21 pages on this game but it is not nearly as entertaining.

Hope for a good game and some great reading after the game on those boards.

What is entertaining to you from the Shocker board?
