Future BU opponents' non-conference schedules

[amckillip]

What would BU fans rather have....OUR's or ISU'S schedule, conference record , post season appearances and Valley finishes the last couple years......?

Total package since Jank started? I'll take BU.

Ours. At least I know my program is trying to be a top-tier one. If I were an ISU fan I'd have burned down half of campus in anger by this point.

ISU could win the National Championship while BU wins "The Toilet Bowl" and I'd still take BU! Down with ISU....... ALWAYS!

I'll say OUR's.....even though I'm not quite sure what any of that has to do with Jank stating that he had some sort of "plan" to make this year's schedule better than their previous schedules since he's been there.

Besides......I didn't think we were supposed to care about other schools!

The actual topic was our opponents non-con skeds....as far as caring about other schools, when its basketball related I care....when its parking and seatbelt tickets I don't.

We were IN the toilet bowl twice (formerly know around here as the EIEIO tournament) and couldn't even win that coming in second both years.

I was responding to TAS's comment on the isu schedule. I'm not the one that went away from the actual topic.

At least now I know it's ok to care about isu's non-conference schedule.

What did isu do those years? When was the last time they even went to the NCAA tournament, not to mention won a couple games once they got there? Oh wait.....I can just hear some people now saying they don't care about what other teams do in the postseason.

I don't think you could be more spot-on here...

You seem to be about the only BU fan who is embarrassed by Bradley playing in the CBI and CIT in 2008 and 2009. Too bad. From the crowds at the game, most fans were very supportive and happy to get to see more games against quality opponents.
Incidentally, BU was invited to play in those tournaments again last year, but declined- I'm sure you're happy.
Note that Creighton and their fans were excited to play in the CIT last year- They were able to beat South Dakota, and Faifield, but did not even make it to the Final like Bradley did both years they played in those tournaments.
Missouri State was excited to play in the CIT last year, too.

And, Indiana State was happy to play in the CBI, even though they lost their first round game. I don't see any of their fans ashamed of their team's participation.
Of course Bradley fans would like to see them in the NCAA, but I don't think the m,ajority of fans share your contempt for these postseason tournaments.

I'm not proud to be in those tourneys I was not excited to play any of the teams we played....

I traveled to Tulsa....but that still doesn't mean I was sastisfied....

those tourneys are a joke. period.

Glad I could help.....

I love BU and support whatever decisions they make....if they choose to play in those tourneys, I go, cheer and put on the happy face. Do I like the fact we play in those tourney...NO. Sorry I want more for my team.

And IF you think I'm the only one that isn't happy about 3 years of EIEIO then why didn't we sellout the FIRST two years and seems to me JL and CO. weren't to thrilled as they declined year 3.

I strive for (as much as a fan can) for NCAA....PERIOD. I'm not happy...I bet JL isn't happy and I bet the TEAM isn't happy about anything less....do they go....2 of 3 years yes...do they compete....yes.....do they want more (NCAA) BIG yes.

Sorry anyone "excited" about not making the NCAA would surprise me. I can assure you CU and the majority of the fanbase was NOT excited about EIEIO. Do the coaches say the correct things as to not tick of the sponsors, tourney directors...yes.

A 1 year run at the EIEIO is ok IF its followed by gradual progression upwards....like the NIT and then the NCAA....but sorry three years in a row......NO I'm NOT happy I know ALOT of fans that aren't either.

For the record I was there also...good golf in Tulsa.

Those tourneys are not a joke for teams that have good young talent and are trying to get their players more games at the end of the season so they will be better for next year, Oakland and Old Dominion would disagree with your assessment as they both advanced to the NCAA tour. the following year after playing BU in one of the so called joke tour.
