I like to relate being a fan to marriage.
For better or worst, through sickness and pain, richer or poor, tell death do us part (while in some case's)

Oh, c'mon now, DC...Originally posted by Da Coach View PostScouter, I may not always agree with you, but I always believed you were thoughtful and insightful. Now, if you really believe that, I am not so sure.
Anyone who takes the time to visit and/or post here has a passion for Bradley basketball and wants BU to succeed. We're all fans one way or another. How some voice their "fandom" just differs from others.Comment

Agreed. Personally, I am not a fan of the Chicago Cubs. I don't care for the Cubs. I hope my favorite team--the Cardinals--finishes higher than them. I do't spend one second of my day talking about the Cubs, going to Cub message boards, or buying Cubs stuff/tickets. It would make no sense.Originally posted by Scouter View PostOh, c'mon now, DC...

Scouter, I know for a fact that not all people who post here claiming to be "Bradley fans" want Bradley to succeed.Comment

I would interested to see this "proof" and "facts". I have yet to see a single Bradley fan post here who says they want Bradley to fail. Can you find a link for that?Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

Oh Sheesh OOB. I don't take this that seriously. I do enjoy good back and forth and discussion. I know some may see it as adversarial--I do not. To me you don't grow, get better, and achieve if you aren't willing to talk about and listen to other points of view. I am also of the belief that we should all question things and not just believe everything we are told.Originally posted by Out of Balance View Postlee, your on a roll today I think you need to go home and throw plates at you wife or girlfriend or both, and if the dog gets in the way, kick him in the a** JK GO BU and GO CUBS
Those are just my feelings. I love BU hoops and the University. Nothing anyone says on this board will change that. If you only saw the emails/text messages/money I spent on Bradley hoops you would understand. I have a close group of about five BU fans/alums who absolutely obsess about everything BU does during the season. I plan all events around BU games. Those fans laugh when they see others think I don't care. I don't worry if some guy I don't know thinks I'm a fan or not. No time for that. Of course much of that shows I don't have much of a life
But I do admit to enjoying conversations that challenge people to think. To me, that's life.
When I go home I go home. I don't drag this stuff along. But, I could help you with that Cub problem if you want

Do you really believe this to be true? Who comes on this board, spends time talking about BU basketball, voices their opinions about the state of the program, proclaims themselves a fan of Bradley basketball, but yet actually deep down wants them to fail?Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
That makes no sense to me...and I would seriously doubt it to be the reality here.Comment

I find that hard to believe as well. Maybe he's referring to people who won't donate with the current regime in place? I don't know. If people really post on here who claim to be Bradley fans but want Bradley to fail, they have serious issues with how they spend their time.Originally posted by ER3 View PostComment

(quite possibly because of my very open and staunch pro-BU position...)
I get and HAVE GOTTEN PM's frequently from those very posters who public appear to support BU, then privately attack and express glee every time they lose....and even giggle with joy just to rub it in when there are failures. (and those pesky off-court issues.)
I even have a couple saved messages from a certain poster who downgrades anyone else who thinks he's not the ultimate BU fan, but privately he expresses the most objectionable hatred for (by name) the head coach and several people in the athletic department.
I have the proof I need those people DO exist, but you will need to solve the riddle for yourself.Comment

DaCoach and Tornado are probably referring to anti-Les fans as opposed to anti-BU fans, but the anti-Les fans have unknowingly become anti-BU fans by hoping Les fails.
But if Coach Les fails, then that means BU fails. So, there's the paradox for anti-Les fans. How do you enjoy seeing Coach Les lose but also lament that BU lost?
This is fairly common though in sports, right? You're a fan of a team but might dislike the current coaching or personnel.Comment

To get back to the topic:
One who thinks about it in the morning when they wake up.
One who thinks about what they are going to eat during the game.
One who hopes the video stream will be good and hold.
One that doesn't want to hear "we're stuck on a number".
One that can still can go to sleep at night even if we lose
