Postgame: BU 63 NIU 49

I won't be calling him Coach Nellie anytime soon.

I wasn't calling him a Nellie. The Nellies know who they are.

can the WCHS record book be accessed online?

Yep: http://www.wacohi.net/8704016151737/...BCOB=0&C=52981

Heard postgame remarks from NIU"s coach Patton and he was asked who he thought was better, UNI or Bradley and he answered Bradley by far.

BU NIU Postgame

The games with a solid/experienced W. Carolina team and an improved IA. St team, will tell me how good we are. Should we win both of those contests, I believe we will be in the hunt for the MVC. Championship.

Anyone who called it a trap game was worried about the let down, and if the Coach said it they had a right to be. So if you call one a Nellie, all must be Nellies. But I don't think any are Nellies. What's wrong with being worried about a game?

And what, pray tell, is wrong with being a "Nellie?"

Ok... Obviously I was misunderstood. Let me explain it for ya.

In my first post on this thread, I stated "Bradley wins the 'trap game' ". A lot of people called it the 'trap game'. Back in the summer, I think Bradley Brave was the first. Others also called it the 'trap game' including MYSELF. Others were Bravesfan, DUBrave5, BU Rick, SFP, buballer82, and mrcoachdude (and maybe more). Now... I didn't hear the radio interview, but I guess Coach Les called it a 'trap game' on there too.

So - my first statement (again) was "Bradley wins the 'trap game' ".

Now - completely seperate from that statement.... there are some people who post on this board who get labeled Negative Nellies. I don't consider Coach Les, Bradley Brave, myself, Bravesfan, DUBrave5, BU Rick, SFP, buballer82, and mrcoachdude as Negative Nellies.

So - my 2nd statement (and 3rd and 4th) in my first post on this thread, I was asking for any comments from the Negative Nellies. But what's funny is... Negative Nellies only show up (or mainly show up) after we lose.

I hope that helps you understand my first post in this thread a little better. Maybe if you weren't so intent on "nit-pik'n-me-n-getn-me" you'd have seen the true intent in my post.

we're talking a different kind of nellie, TNel...

[dogsrus]

I'm still not sure just what a negative nellie even is.....is it someone who has an opposing view?

We ALL see things from various perspectives....thats good IMO. Keps the board and discussions lively.

God forbid we all have the same views......

[SFP]

OK, I admit I can be a Nellie but a NERVOUS one!

I thought that NIU could be a "trap game" as well. The team took care of business last night and we can all move on!

Nothing wrong with being a Nellie, right Nellie. I'm defending the Nellies who have a right to be worried about a road game against a Div 1 opponent after a big win over Illinois.

Disagreeing isn't nit-picking.

speaking of negative Nellies, they are coming out of the woodwork at the Bluejay board and a few are piling onto P'Allen..
there's a few that thrive on the Saluki board as well....
Funny, those are the teams that are always at the top of the conference, going to the tourney and battling for the league championships...
I thought that would have eliminated the negative Nellies, but instead we see that they are just Nellies being Nellies...
