I miss Jackie - just a phenomenal redbird. It’s crazy to think about just how loaded the valley was during his years here.

I despise Wichita State fans. For many reasons. One is that they are classless (well, most of them). They showed how classless they were in St Louis when the tournament game between Wichita State and Illinois State was just about over. The Shockers were going to win the game. I’m a little bias toward Redbird player’s, but in my opinion Jackie was one of the top player’s the MVC had playing during his four years at Illinois State. He represented his school, and the Valley, with the highest of class. With the game almost over, Jackie fouled out. What did the Shocker fans do? They booed him the entire walk from under the Wichita basket to the Redbird bench. This man deserved a standing ovation from everyone in that arena.

They still think he karate kicked Cotton on purpose.... which is laughable...

Was there, front row right behind the WSU fans and bench. The kick was a bad call, even worse because Gregg didnt see it much like the officials, and one of the assistants told him to look at it on the monitor.
When the call was made and bird fans started booing, Jans immediately turned and started jawing at us and flipping us all off. One of the balls that went into the student section was thrown down on the court and managed to bounce and hit one of the other couch's foot, which sparked Gregg's wife and several other WSU fans to start the lie that Redbird fans were throwing coins at them (they weren't as I would have gotten hit). After the game Jans kept trying to taunt us, and then had words with Ford. Fans booed the refs pretty heavily and I know several followed them to the tunnel to continue yelling at them.
I sat behind the bench for a long time, and seen a lot of fanbases come through, and WSU fans were among the worst. So was Greg McDermott's brother who wanted to fight me no less than 3 times, and SIU fans in their hey day who loved to dish it out but couldn't take it and who would try to goad us fans all game and then as soon as we spoke to them would try to get admins to toss us (it didn't work).
