Game time means
Gregg Marshall face time for Krista Weaver.
Her uniform includes custom-made black-and-gold Converse, Shocker necklace and a Shocker shirt. This season, she went Full
Gregg Marshall with the shirt, special ordering an $18 shirt full of Marshall's face at peak Play Angry.
"We were thinking about it, that it would so cool to have a Shocker shirt and the
Gregg Marshall angry face is just iconic," Weaver said. "I knew it would look cool."
On Sunday, she wore the shirt to Wichita State's 80-61 win at Oklahoma State. After the game, she took a picture with the real thing, who graciously duplicated the angry face in the lobby of Gallagher-Iba Arena. She took a picture with Lynn Marshall, Gregg's wife, and heard many compliments from fans.
"That was my first picture with Coach," Weaver said. "He thought it was hilarious and I asked if I could take a picture with him. He made that angry face all on his own. It was priceless."
Gregg Marshall did indeed enjoy the shirt.
"I was a little shocked – it's quite a shirt," he said. "Pretty intense."
The Marshall face shirt started when Daniel, Krista's husband, ordered a shirt with her face for a party. They took that idea and applied to their love of the Shockers.
Weaver, who lists Shaq Morris and
Jaime Echenique among her favorite Shockers, isn't done.
"I think everybody should get one with their favorite player," she said. "That would be super cool."
