    Baseball 2026

    Former Brave Cole Smith led NIU this season in OPS and was named to the MAC All Tournament team in their title win on Saturday. Their turnaround from being godawful just a couple years ago has been remarkable. I like Coach Dedman and think he’ll find good talent. Hoping for a similar trajectory.

    Good news - Bradley University's incoming Freshman Enrollment

    Well, Urich’s idea was to convert the annual 1.8 into a lump sum, JG Wentworth style, like any good lottery winner. We could’ve gotten $30-40 million and taken care of Main Street easy. We unfortunately lost the casino 35 years ago. In the decades since then Boyd has built a hotel and...

    Good news - Bradley University's incoming Freshman Enrollment

    Main Street is definitely on the radar. City manager Urich wanted to use the proposed $1.8 million per year Par A Dice settlement annuity to repave Main Street. That unfortunately got voted down. I know we’re seeking grant money to pay for Main Street renovation from our local congressmen...

    Bradley Athletics Kaboom Awards

    My dad Joe Vespa who led BU in hitting in ‘73 won the Orville Nothdurft Lifetime Achievement Award. Special Recognition Award went to Steve and Patti Shaw who own Mercedes Restaurants with Ron Helms and are big supporters. Very special night!

    BU lands Josh Ibukunoluwa

    Played for High Point the last 2 years. Looks like he didn’t play in their NCAA upset of Wisconsin.

    Burch hits the portal- transfers to ISU

    We should call him Emarion Burch, because he doesn’t play D. But I wish him the best, except when he plays us.

    Bradley lands a commitment- Trevon Payton

    Nice. Getting a good shooter is big, with Alex and Bully gone. You don’t want defenses packing it in because they don’t respect us on the perimeter.

    Portal Mess

    Wasn’t the liberals. The majority decision was penned by Trump appointee Kavanaugh.

    Looking ahead

    The best case scenario IMO would be for BU to move to the A10 along with Drake and Belmont. Then there would be a nice western pod along with SLU, Loyola, and Dayton. I’d worry about SLU and/or Dayton eventually getting a Big East invite though.

    What will make attendance better?

    Winning sells more tickets than assembling a roster of locals ever could. If our locals are good enough, awesome, but a last place team with locals will have bad attendance.

    Arch Madness games

    Nice to get the 2 seed instead of the 3. The 3 has to win 3 games in 36.5 hours. I know the 2 is still 39, but at least they get back to the hotel at a decent hour the first night.
