Something that concerns me

[Beninator]

My view is this:

I grew up in Peoria watching BU in the Fieldhouse in the 70's. Went to BU as a "non-traditional" student. Became friends with Dick, Stan and Mo while attending and after BU.

I became good friends with JL through the years because of many reasons. Traveled with the team for some great wins and some losses. I did not agree 100% with every decision that Jim made (Tough having 10,000 assistant coaches in town!).

Firing him AND the way he was fired is VERY wrong. The full story is not out.... and I hope it does not get out for the future of Bradley basketball. This admin needs to go. Everybody is accountable for their actions (even the President of the USA). The Board of Trustees should be getting a buy 2 - get 1 free for the private search firm right now!! I will never forget this.

That is how I feel!!

Very much appreciate your post Air Petey. I think that it is very possible to be pro BU by being anti-administration. That is my personal stance on the situation. I learned a long time ago, that if a person takes this stance, then he or she must not take things out on the players etc. I am an optimistic person by nature, so I am hopeful that down the road some good can come out of this.

Maybe I'm just trying to be proactive here, but no matter who is on the roster next year (coaches and players), we will all back them and try to start a new chapter in BU basketball in a positive way.

Good thought BUB06!

"Brain Damage"

The lunatic is on the quad
The lunatic is on the quad
Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in Bradley Hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The PJS holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the paper boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hilltop
And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.
And if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

"I can't think of anything to say except...
I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!"

All this back and forth is lunatic. I'd have to believe we will get over this and in 10 years we will be fighting over another coach. Let's keep this in perspective. What went down was inevitable, how it went down was a crime but giving BU positive vibes is what is important. There is not one person that is Bradley University. There is a legacy of people and a community that makes it up. Changes will be made and different tunes will be played.

Sorry AZ I just had to go there!

Outstanding SFP! POTM......
