Top 7 GameDay signs

Students entered Koch Arena at 8:15 Saturday morning to witness the long-awaited arrival of ESPN’s College GameDay, as well as one of the biggest men’s basketball games in school history.

Some of the Shocker students waiting in line had been camping out for two days, wanting to get elite seats at the last home game of the 2014-15 basketball season.

The temperatures went down to single digits on the nights the Marshallville campers were braving the cold. Needless to say, the students who entered the arena early Saturday morning were anticipating the warmth, as well as possible victory.

Scarves and gloves weren’t the only things the Shocker fans brought into the arena. The students were also accompanied by signs.

Joe Poston, the owner of Miracle Signs, was there to help the students make professional-looking signs for ESPN College GameDay and the big game.

Officials said the signs must be appropriate and that security would be scanning the crowd for unsuitable messages.

So, what did the students come up with? Here are a few of our favorites:

Tekele Cotton Stole Jameis Winston’s Crab Legs

As some may know, Jameis Winston, quarterback for Florida State, was issued a citation for stealing crab legs. Senior Tekele Cotton is known for his stealing prowess on the court. Bizarre story from Winston, but hilarious sign.

RIP Spock, Live Long and Shocker

The half-human, half-Vulcan, played by the recently-deceased Leonard Nimoy — who charmed Star Trek audiences for years — left an imprint on a lot of viewers, as does the Shocker basketball team.

Seth Tuttle Reads 50 Shades of Grey

This speaks for itself. Awesome.

Inform PETA some Panthers are gonna take a whooping

Shockers are not only loyal fans, but caring. This student took time to warn the animal rights organization that there could be some animals harmed during the game. How nice.

Thanks ESPN for scheduling WSU — most big time programs are afraid to do so

You said it, fan. This one was an ode to the blue-blood schools and “big time” programs that are too afraid to schedule WSU in a home-and-home series.

When I played for Wichita State…

This sign was a picture of Fred VanVleet dribbling the ball, but with the head of Brian Williams, the recently-outcast NBC Nightly News anchor. Clever use of current events.

We’re not a state. We’re a nation

Here is Wichita State’s response to all those other people who think they’re original with the signs “Wichita’s not a state.”
