And no mention of Ohio State, who might be the hottest team in the land this side of Villanova. Just a silly list.

Might be tough to find a top 25 worse than this one.

God this is so pitiful.
At least the puff pieces posted about Wichita are legitimately impressive. This just screams desperation. Desperation to somehow find something that bolsters UC while marginalizing WSU at the exact same time.
I don't think the Shockers have ever been further in the head of any opposing fan in all of their 112 years of playing DI basketball.

Sorry Charlie. But this isn’t the fans. It’s your beloved “WSU is a National power” media. The fact that a major sports outlet reports this should have WSU fans seriously concerned. Just can’t afford any more bad losses...

Mike DeCoursey wrote this. He has been mad at WSU ever since we left the Valley. He was like the only media person in the world that said it was a bad idea for the Shockers to leave the Valley and join the American.

Wow! First time I’ve seen and read that article. Decourcey nailed it! It’s basically what this whole forum has been saying since the WSU fanATICs showed up in here. Guess it just doesn’t matter who tries to reason with them.

Concerned about what? We've been absolutely drowning in media love for over half a decade. I feel guilty at this point. Sure I don't like to lose, but the way we've been propped up by everybody with a microphone is ridiculous. I mean, Jesus Christ... we've had a tiny handful of 4* recruits with the vast majority hard-working role players and everybody calls us a National Power. Do you have any idea how humbling that is? Of course you don't.
The only thing that relieves the embarrassment is knowing we earned every single bit of what we did on the court. We didn't enjoy membership in a power conference, we did it all with hard work and determination. The media just latched onto us and won't let go. That's not our fault.
You need to get over us. You enjoyed membership in the Big East and made all your great memories there. Stop focusing on Wichita State's meteoric rise in the national consciousness during the last decade despite having every advantage taken from them for residing in a mid-major conference.

He basically said that the AAC is a trash league that everybody wants to bail from but can't because they're trapped. Reading this emboldens you?
Quote:However, the truth about the AAC was transparent in the past year: If there’s a way out, the prominent members of the league want to take it. Pretty much every team in the conference applied for entry into the Big 12 when it staged its fruitless expansion pageant, from UConn to Cincinnati to East Carolina. Even Tulane, for goodness sakes.
Whatever Conference USA has become should serve as a fine reminder to Wichita of the peril of abandoning a stable home in the Valley to attempt some social-climbing. Twenty years ago C-USA was a vibrant conference inhabited by Louisville, Marquette and such current AAC members as Memphis and South Florida. Now it’s a loose assortment of programs stretching all the way to El Paso whose teams are capable but get almost zero respect.
Quote:The past few years haven’t been the best for Valley depth, and that’s likely been frustrating at times for Wichita and its fans. But they’ve been associated with the conference since 1945, and the Shockers' presence in the league hasn’t prevented the establishment of WSU as a power. It’s possible it’s even helped. Dominance does sell.

I have gotten over it. You’re simply not worth it. I haven’t initiated a discussion about WSU all week. Hasn’t stopped you though. I didn’t make this thread about WSU. You and your partners did. Hell, I even agreed that I disagreed with this poll
