Title: wichita state offer
Post by: sys on October 21, 2010, 03:39:32 PM
from a gpc poster.  there was some info leaked about this offer (by marshall on a radio show maybe?  can't recall for sure) earlier.  it seems kstate didn't accept.

the info about the ticket split is new.

WSU tried to get a three game series set up with KSU. One game would be at KSU, one game in KC at the Sprint Center and one game in Wichita at the new Intrust arena with KSU being alloted a much larger than normal percentage of the tickets to the Intrust game. KSU turned it down last week.

The sprint center game would be emptier than farmaggedon.

Kinda wish we would do that.  Being afraid to play WSU for fear of losing is more of a uk thing

What's the benefit of playing a decent in-state MVC team? 

National TV:  No.
Venturing into hot recruiting territory:  No.
Financial incentive:  No.

With the new Big 12 schedule, we gotta pick our non-cons wisely...WSU is both too good to be on our noncon and also not good enough.

I think this rumor originated on the Shocker board so probably somebody's imagination running away.  They love to hate anything and everything about major college basketball because they feel left out, but it looks like they will have a good team this year.

Good. There is absolutely no reason we should ever schedule WSU, for the reasons mentioned above.

And all the WSU fans whining/crying about us not scheduling them is just a nice little bonus effect.

Doc's annual beatdown of Altman's supposedly superior creighton teams was always amazing.  That's the same but opposite.

Creighton won last year and then proceeded to blow.  Hard.

We should never, ever play WSU.  Never.  If we ignore them, they cease to exist.

This thread is trash without The Shocker giving a description of the beatdown they would give us featuring spangles, mudslides and riverfest  :embarrassed:

I think you're underrating the shocker, here.

1.)  The Shocker
2.)  Old FFF
3.)  RD
4.)  Numberoneksu
5.)  SD

Those are the top posters on this site.

RPI.  WSU should never be a negatie for our sos/rpi (>250), and most years it would be beneficial to play them (top 100 many seasons).  I also love that 3 season rotation.  1 home, 1 road-neutral, 1 true neutral.  Again, helps our RPI.  2 out of 3 meetings with some kind of neutral shading w/out having to leave the state.

It would be nice to play a game in Wichita every 3 seasons (every other would be ok w/ me).  Doesn't matter much for basketball recruiting obviously.  However, Wichita is a nice football recruiting area.  Anything that ups our profile there can't hurt with that.  Also nice to have a "home" game there periodically for our fans in that area. 

I seriously doubt a series as rumored above was offered.  If it was I would be shocked to find out it had been turned down.    It's by no means an "elite" series, but how many of those are we going to play every season?  Does it make more sense for something like that then so. miss, chicago st (understand that's for Jake), or almost any mid-major?  I would say definitely yes. 

The only real argument against it is that WSU doesn't "deserve" a series with us.  Or that they might beat us, and that would be worse then loosing to another random decent mid-major (was my feeling when we sucked as a program and actually did recruit "against" them).  Both are weak arguments now imo.  Plus, say what you want about WSU.  That game would have more juice then any other team of similar standing (and we'll still be playing those kinds of teams every season whether we sign WSU or not).

Hell, I've even warmed to the idea of a home/"home" series if they agreed to play it at the larger Wichita venue and give us a healthy chunk of the tickets.

eff wsu. At autograph pak Frank said he wanted to play a game every year at IBA without the shockers being involved. See BSAC post about trim getting to choke out Huggins there next year.
