Positives/Negatives

I'm just saying....the price is right and it's more "convenient" than a game all the way downtown. Obviously, the student support (at least most of the students) isn't there no matter what.

I agree. Price should not be a barrier to going. Despite the loss, it was good fun for a dollar (minus some concessions).

I would say it's because there are more season tickets accounted for than the "more intimidating" on-campus facility is capable of holding.

Really? What? Cmon man, I was talking about an 8 to 9,000 seat on campus arena. Sorry I didn't make that more clear. I'd rather see a game in a packed Fieldhouse than Carver any day of the week. Just my opinion. And yes I do understand that it's all about making money not making it harder for the opposing team to win. Obviously...

Here is what would have made my whole night go from horrible to ok. If Jim would have gotten on the radio and said "Look, the coaches are working hard. The players are working hard. It didn't show tonight. So I am going to have to do a better job. I am going to have to work harder." Is it too much to ask for a little humility instead of ALWAYS blaming the players? Just be accountable. They aren't the ones getting paid for their performances....at least i hope not.

To quote my man Dave Snell...somebody say hallelujah!

I doubt Bradley could afford to add more seats if they paid a premium for all the houses to tear down in order for the school to continue expansion.

And even if there was money, would they have had to have scrap the parking deck?

And what a loss that would be I parked a nice 2 minute walk away and it took me a cool 1.5 seconds to get out of my parking space. Walking...it's underrated.

I believe getting approval from the city would probably be a hard thing to overcome as well.

Yeah....I didn't see any reference to a 8-9,000 seat on campus arena. I just figured you were talking about the facility that was not full tonight.

Maybe they should have built it in East Peoria...that's where are the cool stuff will be in 15 years anyway

Guess this is what I failed to put in all of my posts. I'm worried about this season because of Les' presser after the game. Talk leading up to game was about players in years past not buying in but how things are different now. Then, fast forward to after the game, and Les sounds as if things are worse than ever in the team chemistry/team coachable departments. Pretty bad if season hasn't started and coach has lost team. All I'm sayin. Good night folks!

Parking would be the major issue with a stadium that large.

I've seen this page in the playbook before. Next step-playing time threats-and "it doesn't matter who you are, every position is up for grabs". And yet it's never the scrappy walk-ons that happen to earn the playing time, save Ryan Phillips picking up a couple minutes last year. This happens every single year it seems. Just so I'm clear-im not advocating playing walk-ons. Just don't act like the best players aren't gonna play. We all know they are. Just be real with us. That's all we ask. We are not dumb.

I wanted Aaron in the game. I think he was no shorter than some of the guys from Quincy. He had two threes in the red-white scrimmage...

Your new starting 5 for the next game:

Big Fella
Here comes trouble
They let anyone in here
My main man
and that other walk on Whatshisname

[Big Lance]

My little brother said the same thing to me when Quincy went into a zone...
