I dont blame the coaching

[squirrelgotdead]

I love all the time you guys waste talking about JL and his job. Do you understand nobody is listening to you? All you "Upper Bowl fans" (including Kirk Wessler) that don't even belong to the Braves Club, but try to sneak in to a pre-game party for a free beer, are wasting your time talking negative about the program. Until the BSS folks start talking about looking for a new coach, JL's job is fine. Get over yourselves. See you at the next pre-game party - If you can get in?

Yes! Because the BSS=Superiority. The great unwashed masses that actually drive the economy of the program are just that, riff-raff.

Take off the last S there and that'll be just what your argument there is...


Complete BS

Could this again be a slight bit more hyperbole? Or maybe a little class-envy?

I am familiar with some of the riff-raff you refer to, and there are people who as highly-successful individuals and corporations have willingly donated many millions of dollars to Bradley for the improvment of campus facilities, and to allow the coaches of all the sports to recruit and stay competetive at the D1 level. And none of them ask for anything in return.
Without these riff-raff, Bradley would still be playing soccer on a high-school field, baseball would still be at old Meinen Field or down in Bradley Park, and we would be playing basketball at a Division II or more likely a Division III level, and would still be in the (now) 60+ year old Robertson Fieldhouse.

Wrong.

BTW - There were BSS people who meet with Glasser regularly who were talking about a new coach before the season even started if JL didn't win anything this year. You can PM me or email me if you think I am full of it, because I am not.

[Da Coach]

I am sure you are correct, BB. The BSS fans are not much different than the regular fans in their feelings about the coaching situation.

Overreacting about both wins and losses?

[Air Petey]

Wrong.

Yes - I think you are full of it!

[rodney21]

Then PM or email him.

[BradleyBrave]

Yes - I think you are full of it!

That's fine. I'm not...and you know it.

[Air Petey]

Then PM or email him.

Maybe I wanted everybody to know my answer? I will PM or e-mail soon

Do you understand that most of us on here dont really care if anyone is listening to us, we are typing and talking about this because we want too. You probably are also very naive to think that the BSS individuals are not also talking about Les and I would not be surprised if more then one might either read or post here.

And from trying to interpret your post, you are apparently listening and reacting to the posters on here, and you also seem to try to tell us you are part of this Braves Club. So, I take it you do really care what us post about on here since you took time to belittle us.

I'm not "belittling" you guys. Just don't understand? Because you type these things about JL, you think he will be heading out of town soon? He does not even ready the Urnal star, yet these websites!

Look - try to be positive about the program. JL is going nowhere, so use your passion in a way that could better the team. Coach bashing will not get it done!

Air Petey - Thanks for the note!

[BradleyBrave]

and if the BSS was disbanded and BU lost the $$ they gain from that endeavor, I suspect a whole lot of university jobs would be in jeopardy.

Why would the BSS be disbanded? Where did that come from?

What dont I understand, that money and contributions run decisions, the University and the athletic department let alone any personel decisons made in the athletic department. Do I not understand that if several highend donors were tired of Les he would be gone because they control the purse strings??

What you dont understand is no one on here cares if Les or the University reads this site let alone the newspaper. People get on here to vent frustration. Whether anyone on here is positive or negative that vibe likely is not going to carry over to a game.

I dont think anyone on here believes that by us discussing Les and his coaching will lead to his dismissial. I believe most of us are fully aware that those decision are not based on what we type on here.

And if I want to be negative all day long thats my choice and again my attitute I certainly hope is not in anyway an influence on this program. If those of us on here want to bash Les 24/7 thats our call, but I guarantee no one who bashes or is positive truely believes what is written here has any influence. It is just a form for those who care about Bradley Basketball to vent either negative or positive.

I find it a little funny that you truely believe that those of us on here who discuss Bradley Basketball actually think we have influence on this program. The only influence anyone has is in their wallet. Words on a message board do not.
