Valley Talk Poll

[jeffsu]

Agreed. Saying to go vote and support your team (oh no! don't support your team!!!!) is NOT saying who to go vote for. It's saying "go vote, don't let people trash the team/coach"

Grow up already, boys who argue just to argue. Go take it back to VT.

lol this is borderline rediculous

[ph]

I think it would be amusing if the mods here incorporated Mecca, Inc or Mecca Boards, Inc.. as the the owner of BradleyFans..

If someone wants to start a poll I mean really who cares. But when they start one then in the opening post make note to say..."i know who ISU, SIU and UNI fans will vote for" its obvious the poll was done for ONE reason.....the guys as flamer.

If you allready know who most people are going to vote for...where is the need for a poll to find out? He was upset, and I can't really understand why, becuase BU was getting props for the being most prestigious program (most history) in the Valley. "I'll start a poll that will knock BU down and make me feel GOOD about myself again." Serious insecurity issues at work here.

Again....thats what we have come to expect from ISU fans, just go to the games and listen to the trash they spew.

Nicely said DRU.

That's why I don't hang out at Valley Talk. It's a flamer board.

And I know this might hurt your feelings, but the PJStar board became a flamer board. That's why I left. When this board started, I stayed over there. Til Bradley lost to SIU in the MVCT Championship in 06. And it was a bunch of flaming. I left and was done. I posted my goodbye and said I'd miss a lot of them but they know where to find me... at the new board at bradleyfans.com. And it got deleted.

Ba-bye flamers.

The wheels have come flying off the wagon.

ValleyTalk was more fun when the other teams' fans were flaming each other.

MM..why would where you post or don't post hurt my feelings. I have siad this before but I think people get to wrapped up about various sites be it this one, VT, Pjstar.....they all have good and bad points. I have read crazy stuff on most any site I have visited. Heck I have been PART of some of that crazy stuff.....so what.

Its like going in to a sports bar...you may not like the owner but if they serve beer and talk sports I'm there. If I don't like the conversation at one table I'll go to the next.

Cheers....

There were 9 other choices in the poll. And no. I don't need to feel good about myself. I feel great about myself already. Every day. But thanks for being concerned.

The only thing that concerns me is your obsession for all things BU.....you hate us yet you can't stay away.

Exactly.

But I'm not going to the next table at a joint that's obviously not sharing my views. I'm leaving the bar.

I left that bar. And I have checked out a couple other bars. Nothing against them... but I don't care to "stroke" the talk. And I don't want to "fight the fight". I'm out.

I enjoy my jars in a joint where I am more comfortable and more agreeable with those here.

this is indeed a very weird phenomenon...

it occurs nowhere else in the Valley, and really nowhere else that I can find anywhere...

Here we have several posters who are fans of the rivals, who seem to prefer to post here on BradleyFans more than spending time on their own board.

I don't think prefer to post here. But I know when I disagree with something that is said here, I have no problem saying so. I don't think I or most ISU posters do it in a disrespectful way either.

And they seem to lurk and read every post on this site just waiting to pounce and attack anyone for violations as small as spelling errors and syntax questions.

Thats a stretch. Tornado you read other boards daily too.

Show me where any Bradley fans even wastes his time posting even once on their board.

We get BU posters all the time. It's a shame they don't use the same screeenname as they do here. Why do you think that is?

We have fine contributors from other schools who are welcome here because they add they don't detract..
....memo to the flamers....detracting is not allowed!!

Unless it's about another MVC team, then it's not only allowed, it's encouraged.

there can be no doubt that ISU fans are obsessed with Bradley and Bradley's history, tradition, and success
(and, yes, even with our message board and it's success)
....there is an intense jealousy there....
one question remaining....

I think you will find there are more threads going on here about ISU than about BU on redbirdfan. These are just from the last week:

You will be hard pressed to find a single thread dedicated to BU, other than an ISU-BU score prediction thread. You guys have game threads devolted to our games against UNI and SIU.

will the ISU fans rush the court if they beat Bradley?

Who knows? Maybe. Kids will be kids.

case closed....you add nothing to any discussion, only rebut and argue...

I may read other boards, but only as an observer, not to scour the posts to find something to bicker about and post snipes in response..
there is quite a difference....


note-- visitors from other teams and boards are welcome...but address the topic, not the other posters...


This board is the ENVY of the other boards because we won't allow the trolling and bickering....

This site is set up very nicely and there are some very insightful posters who frequent this board. Bradleyfans is certainly one of the better message boards in the MVC. I come here from time to time, and mostly all I do is read what has been posted. Occasionally I feel the need to reply, and today is one of those days.

You did say earlier in this thread that Saluki fans don't like Salukitalk, which is beyond ridiculous. We have more posters on our board than any other MVC school. Bradleyfans is the only board that I'm aware of that rivals Salukitalk in terms of posters and traffic. Of course we have some bickering and arguing, but our board is set up in a way that allows people to have open and honest discussions, regardless of one's point of view. To claim that other message board posters are jealous of Bradleyfans is silly. Like I said earlier, this is a nice site with good posters, but other MVC schools have nice sites and good posters as well. You guys are no better or worse than anyone else (well maybe we're all better than Wichita State fans).

And as to your point about not posting on other team's message boards; maybe you don't post on those sites, but you do bring back tidbits of information, mostly negative, and spin your own threads on this website. I don't have a problem with you doing this, but I must ask, is that any better than bickering with opposing team's fans on their message boards?

And to actually post on this thread's subject, who cares that Jim Les is getting the most votes on a stupid poll at Valleytalk? Valleytalk has mostly been irrelevant for years. The constant arguing, the pissing competitions, and the lack of actual basketball discussion killed that board long ago. I think I'd be honored if Coach Lowery was the most despised coach in the Valley. That usually means your teams wins a lot of games and other teams get tired of losing to you.

Tone Bone thanks for your perspective. There are a few posters here that are a bit dogmatic in their approach to BU and others like me who like to drink directly from the Kool-aid pitcher. I rarely read any other board be appreciate the posts from other schools fan when they are insightful and help keep us somewhat grounded.
