Fans ARE an integral component of the team, you're **** right they should have a sense of entitlement and expectations.
What is any team without its fans? Without fans, the players play only for themselves. Without fans, revenue streams dry up, then the teams disappear.
This board sure as hell wouldn't exist and none of us would be on here checking the site way more than we all probably should if we didn't have a sense of entitlement and expectations. We wouldn't spout off after every game, positive or negative.
Fans may not be at the direct center, but they're about as close as you can get after the players and coaches.
That might just be the biggest "fallacy" in this thread!
Without fans....and playing for themselves....aren't you talking directly about the NBA
I'll agree with that. Just who pays JL's salary, the rest of the coach's salary's, the players scholarships, all the perks of the mens program and money that supports almost all the other sports programs at BU. The mens basketball fans.
So I think they have every right to voice their expectations of their team. They should be able to do it in a positive or negative way (as long as it is done in a civil way and not in a personal attack on any coach or player)
There is no team in the the MVC that can match up to us the whole game, if our bigs come to play! BU will win the the MVC this year!
There are many Bradley fans who come to games, cheer for the Braves, and support the program financially whether they win or lose. Thorough good times and bad. Bradley's attendance and support has always astounded people.
I think what was referred to as the entitlement mentality of some followers, is that there will always be some fans who come only when the program is winning, and that's OK, too, Bradley is happy to have them.
There are many circumstances that make it hard for a small, private, non-BCS school to compete against the big boys. If there wasn't, there would be more that have persistent success, and there isn't. The number of successful mid-majors every year can be counted on one hand. A program like Bradley couldn't survive if they didn't have all the fans who continue to support them.

Totally Agreed

Here is a comment right off the Creighton Bluejay board about Dana Altman..... "Im really starting to question Dana, two games in a row where he has blown double digit leads at half."
Then followed by even more...these are numerous different posters saying these things!
"I say this in all seriousness - the Jays would have been better off if he had stayed in Arkansas. The Jays have a much more talented team than Nebraska."
"Dana's ....my way or the highway approach may be keeping us from the level we want to obtain."
"Dana's system can win a conference tourny here or there, but cannot do squat on a national stage."
"Just not riding on the same ship as you 'blue kool-aid' drinkers who think Dana is the savior of this program."
"I am beginning to think Arkansas got lucky."
I guess what bugs me most about this kind of comment is that we've had it here after just one bad loss. Nobody has any patience any more. this is Dana Altman, for gosh sakes.....90% of the teams in DI would love to have this guy!!

I TOTALLY agree! Hopefully these comments are coming from kids at CU who know absolutely nothing about CU history (and I hope this is the case here when the bashers come out against Les). I think this is just a product of the video game and internet age where kids today want instant gratification. This is why pro baseball has lost it's popularity.... it's too slow moving for the youth of the past 20-years.
