Because the ones from Kansas suck.

We have a 35.8 Eff FG%, good for 324th in DI so far.

Our defense is pretty great though.

I'd like to welcome all of the Wichita State part timers back to the boards.

I hate this thread and wish we would bring football back.

So... do you guys tailgate for basketball games?

I've been meaning to ask you, is that a Greenville skyline pic in your signature or Asheville? It's a beautiful skyline. I visited NC for the first time a couple years ago. I have family in Winston-Salem. We stopped by Asheville for lunch and toured around for an hour or so...beautiful city. Of course, we had to visit Mt. Airy one day and check out Andy Griffith's Mayberry hometown. Toured the Wake Forest campus, it is beautiful also, the whole campus is like a giant park. My cousin-in-law is from there and graduated from Appy St., but he's a huge Wake Forest fan. I'll have to make it to Greenville next time I visit.

The pic is the Asheville skyline. Greenville unfortunately isn't near any mountains.

I grew up in the Winston-Salem area! Great city - it has grown a lot. Half of my family went to Wake Forest, so I know the campus well. Gorgeous place.

I love Greenville, and it is improving a great deal since the time I was a student... I made it back for the 1st time in 3 years a couple weeks ago and was blown away. Didn't recognize my old college town.

Asheville

My cousin-in-law gave us a tour all over Winston-Salem. He's like a tour guide, full of history and facts about Winston-Salem. The most interesting fact he told us was the building downtown he showed us that served as the building model prototype for building the Empire State Building in NYC. It looks just like it, just smaller. Very cool.

Not that i've seen for basketball.

We used to have a bunch of folks that tailgated at hockey games back before we built a downtown arena.

No, you either take your elderly grandparent with you so you can park in the handicap spot or park out in the BG lot that has parking stalls made for compact cars. Either way, you usually show up about 30-45 minutes before tip. *

Baseball would be our best and only tailgating scene, well at least it used to be.

*High rollers show up an hour early, eat like fish, drink like pigs and can see their cars upon exiting the building mid way through the 2nd half.

Hey Wheatshock:

The list you keep posting about women and airplanes is getting old, already!

Besides, while they may have seemed funny at first glance, repeated lists of pejorative stereotypes are rarely espoused in a public forum.

No one likes to be stereotyped or made fun of, and guys who get their kicks from sexual stereotypes are most likely to be misguided adolescents, immature men, misogynists, or sexual abusers.

So please keep the Brandeis quote if you want, but lose the list about women.

Thanks.

If you want to keep reprinting the list, it might be equally funny to add a list of humorous stereotypes about men, for the sake of balance. Here are some to choose from:


How is Colonel Sanders like the typical male?
--All he's concerned with is legs, breasts, and thighs.

How do men exercise on the beach?
--By sucking in their stomachs every time they see a bikini.

What's the difference between Big Foot and an intelligent man?
--Big Foot's been spotted several times.

How does a man show he's planning for the future?
--He buys two cases of beer instead of one.

Why do men need instant replay on TV sports?
--Because after 30 seconds they forget what happened.

Men are like.....Bank Machines.
--Once they withdraw they lose interest.

A man asks, “God, why did you make woman so beautiful?” God responded, ”So you would love her.” The man asks, “But God, why did you make her so dumb?” God replied, “So she would love you.”

Why is it good that there are female astronauts?
--When the crew gets lost in space, the woman will ask for directions.

Why is psychoanalysis a lot quicker for men than for women?
--When it's time to go back to his childhood, he's already there.

What do you do with a bachelor who thinks he's God's gift to women?
--Exchange him.

Why do men like smart women?
-- Opposites attract.

How are husbands like lawn mowers?
--They're hard to get started, they emit noxious odors, and half the time they don't work.

How do men define a "50/50" relationship?
--We cook-they eat; we clean-they dirty; we iron-they wrinkle.

What do you call a man with half a brain?
--Gifted.

How many men does it take to screw in a light bulb?
--ONE......He just holds it up there and waits for the world to revolve around him.

Why are all dumb blonde jokes one-liners?
--So men can understand them.

Why do only 10% of men make it to heaven?
--Because if they all went, it would be Hell.

If it bothers you that much just go to your profile page, select "edit options" and uncheck the little box that says "Display users' signatures in their posts".

Problem solved.

Appreciate the info, but was only one user's signature of concern.

I'm a long-term Shocker's fan (second to my alma mater, of course), and no ill will on my part, but I like this list and might add it to my user's signature as a counterpoint to the jokes about women.

Of all the men/women jokes, I like this one the best:

What mountains are those? They look awfully small.
