We'll leave the team hotel shortly after 11AM sir.
By traveling through the middle of town through the detour
we will avoid the construction on the bridge.
Then, arrive at the arena in time for our shoot around at 2PM.
Then, return for our afternoon lunch at Denny's
Then back to the stadium in the evening in time for the game against...
whoever that team was that upset Wichita.
Coach.
The Team
The team that upset Wichita was coach Dantoni's team.
Marshall University
I want everyone to leave the room except for the coaches and the athletic director.
You assured me this would not happen!
You promised me this could not happen!
You said they weren't a very good traveling team.
That the Shocker's defense would be too much for them.
And now look where we are!
They will surely be looked at as this years Cinderella.
Their entire team is made up of the Native Sons, and Euros!
Worse, that Jarrod West was supposed to be a legacy, and now he is one of their top 3 point assassins.
Coach, do not worry. We have the better defense, the athle...
They use Dan-a-litics! It won't matter!
Coach, we can put the PRESS on them.
You stupid boy! It doesn't matter!
They have already won!
Now that they have forced us to play them-
the NCAA ratings for the game will be through the roof.
The bars will be packed, and the media will say that it is all "good for the state"
Before you know it, the Senators' will be calling for new legislation.
Soon, we will be staring at the one rivalry we have tried so desperately to avoid.
The Damn Thundering Herd
Then, it will spread to football before too long, and we'll all be screwed!
Why couldn't have Jon Elmore graduated already.
We are the Power Conference school in the state.
BIG 12 for God Sake.
Dantoni!
Everyone thought that he would drive that program into the ground when they hired him.
He wastes time recruiting in-state players, and then lets everyone call them "304 boys".
How can he possibly win with those types of recruits.
Everyone knows you win with athletes from NY and FL.
That way, when you win, no one cares if you ignore talent in your own state!
It's ok. Its just one game.
It's done now. A series will be coming.
Then we will have to agree to play at a neutral site.
Or worse...
Play in Huntington.
Go to the team. tell them to be ready for their most fiercest battle yet.
Because, it's more than just a game for Marshall.
It's who They Are.
