Bradley Q&A with Kirk Wessler on MVCfans.com

thanks-- we're just having fun with your interview...KW is a favorite topic of discussion here!

Who is the audience.....I imagine its intended more for those that are MVC fans of other teams. NOT your diehard BU fan.

Very good read. If I were a fan from another team it told me about all I need to know about the program.

Its facts and opinions.....you can't argue the facts and his opinions are based from those.

Just an FYI - I contacted both Wessler and Reynolds on December 10. Kirk indicated that he would be on vacation until the 19th, but would be happy to do so after that time. I never got a response from Reynolds.

As far as content, the questions for each team were from the perspective of what I thought MVC fans would like to know. Thus, for Bradley I thought discussing the Duke game, Taylor and Sam being unavailable, Les' situation, Warren/Dunson, and expectations for the team seemed reasonable enough. The goal was to get a little more information on the team and the program and I think Wessler was thorough in his answers.

Just what I thought.....fine job. I enjoyed reading about OTHER teams I follow but don't follow as close as I do BU.

wait -- I thought nobody cared about what's going on with the other teams, now I am confused...

He certainly didn't give the responses a responsible beat writer would. I would have preferred to see DR with a little more vanilla and diplomacy in a national interview. KW was just doing KW schtick, although it really wasn't the place for it.

Pretty much! I also wonder how he can take a jab at JL for discipline issues of his teams. Maybe I would listen to KW a bit more if he became a bit more fair. How about saying that I wish JL would be a bit harder on his players regarding playing time when they do this or that but one thing you have to say about his teams that they do extremely well in the classroom. KW time and time out does nothing to prove himself as a journalist due to his dogmatic approach concerning JL.
