Don't buy into the Evansville Hype and BU offense

[houstontxbrave]

The person we are talking about has posted before on this board, so I assume if they wanted the board to know, they would have posted it here.
I still consider the chatroom to be private discussions, and I will not be posting the chatroom log here.

Yes I know the person has posted here and in the chat room before. What I am saying is that person, you dont know what their intent was in saying what was said in that room. And, the person might have wanted it to post it on the board, hoping that the information would make it to a board without that posters screen name attached to the information. Essentially having it leaked.

But I am curious, if that person from the chat room would have posted exactly what they knew and you knew exactly who that person was, would have that post been deleted because it was viewed as speculation?

agree 100%....
if something I have posted here, is reproduced out of context and assailed by, say Dick Vitale, on his blog, I might not have "legal" recourse, but I would sure be a little perturbed.
So now we have people asking that we reproduce something a player's parent might have said elsewhere....gimme a break...it just isn't going to happen.
If you want to know what they said in a chat room or board, then go look for yourself!

T, who asked for the transcript of the chat room discussion? I dont see anyone here on this board asking for anything like that. Most of us who have posted on this were also in the room, know what was said and I for one am not surprised what that poster said became public. I know I dont need the transcript I saw it and even commented on the pain whether it was during activity or was it constant.

Houston--
a request was made by a poster to reproduce the transcript of the chat room for all to see and then "let the people decide"...almost as if to challenge the integrity of a participant and maybe even the identity of the participant in the chat room.

We actually have rules that mirror every other message board in existence that prohibit efforts to identify posters and or chat room participants. It was not in response to anything that you have posted or said.

[houstontxbrave]

Someone did ask for that, it is post #20 (the last post on page 1 for most people).--

My mistake, thanks.

Wow now I know how the media can explain things so differently then whay I've heard myself.

BradleyBrave I never once took the comments from the chat as unflattering to JL! Was the person a little protective of AW? Well of course, what sow is not protective of her cubs. I was the one who asked about the possibility of a redshirt otherwise it may not have even been discussed. I do not believe our source during the chat is by any means discouraged by JL, not even KW of the PJS would put that in print.

Also you guys are probably destroying a great source of information for us by dwelling on this in this medium, so to you I say thank you!

Give me a break.

Yes, she said some other things that would lead one to believe she isn't JL's biggest fan. I would take what parents say with a grain of salt in these situations, and that's about all I will say at this point.

It was up for interpretation. Others interpreted the same way I did. Again, I don't think parents are the best source for a lot of things related to the program. They aren't objective.

[SFP]

Give me a break.

You really think we are going to get the same non edited information again from our source? What rock did you just crawl out from? Most people learn that when their words start being analyzed and twisted they tend to give out less information or NONE at all. That is one reason why reporters will tend to protect their source.

Maybe it is just me but I feel thar there are a few posters that go beyond constructive criticism and try to paint a negative picture of the program. Either they are by nature just negative or they really believe the program in itself is terrible with no future.

I don't really care if we hear from this person again or not. Certainly I encourage anyone and everyone with an interest in BU basketball to enjoy and participate on this site, but if someone isn't going to post on here anymore because people are discussing what THEY brought up, then I don't really care. I don't think it's a good idea for parents to participate in fan boards in the first place, as there's not really much good that can come out of it.

The poster in question is an adult, and didn't say the things about AW or JL on accident, and didn't say those things with the intent of them not being discussed. If you think that then you're naive. It is an internet chat room open to anyone who would like to participate. Also, it's common knowledge that once you say or send anything on the internet, it's subject to interception and interpretation by anyone who comes across it.

BTW - The rock I current live under is the one called reality, I encourage you to join us here.

That is a good one. You made me laugh! Maybe I am wearing rose colored glasses but I like that my world is 1/2 full. I believe that BU basketball is on its way to greatness, that the Baltimore Orioles will one day make it to the playoffs, once Angelos sells the team and the Bears will find a franchise QB. That to me is what a fan is about. If I want to dwell on the negatives I can turn on the news and listen to the talking heads discuss the economy, wars and crimes. This is one area that is fun to escape to and have hope. I do live in reality it's just that I do not think of sports as life or death just a way to be entertained.

With all due respect to a longtime poster and obviously longtime fan, what does your post above have to do with -

1.) Whether or not someone who volunteers information about her son and opinions on the coach should be discussed in the public forum where the information was first discertated?

2.) Whether or not it's likely that Andrew Warren will redshirt?

I'll hang up and listen for my answer...

BB I'm done with this discussion. I thought I wrote enough in my last post to show you how my brain dissects information, that is all. I wish you a very merry holiday season and an abundance of kindness in your life.

About AW's possible redshirt, until we actually receive official confirmation one way or the other it is all hearsay to me.

Go Braves!

Looks like the fanatic might have been on to something after all...

I really hope a certain school in Kansas smokes a certain subpar public school from central Illinois this year.

Happy New Year, Bradley fans.

Guess I am stupid ? Yup I think Bradley will win in Springfield Mo. and even Springfield Il, and Springfield Pa. and Springfield Mass, and any other Springfields out there!
The question is, can ISU red win in Peoria, Des Moines, Carbondale or Omaha?
