Great to see an offical statement about TB. Best of luck to Taylor this year!

[Da Coach]

I think everyone expected this, but it is always a relief to see the official statement. Here's to a successful season for TB!

[tornado]

Best news I have heard today!

[Da Coach]

....so far

[tornado]

All I ask is that TB boost his scoring average since the last year he played -
by the same margin that he boosted it between his first two seasons...

[ph]

....so far

Da Coach is planning to call GEICO today.

[Future Walk-On]

....so far

STOP


WHAT?

[real fan]

Bad news in that he will not play in the red-white scrimmage because of a violation in team rules, we cannot keep having our players miss games because of poor judgement if we expect to ever compete for championships, this has been going on for way too long and Taylor of all people should want to play bad enough that he would follow the rules.

[tornado]

I think this simply proves that BU implements the best discipline of any school around -
even the truly minor & petty rules violations - the kind that happen at all schools - still get penalized - while other schools allow DUI's and bar fights and reinstate the players instantly

[real fan]

how do we know this is some new issue at all? -- could it be that this penalty was assessed as far back as in 2009-2010 and this is simply one of the first games or events TB has played in which to asses the penalty?
I wonder if anyone recalls that TB was also held out of BOTH the Hoopla & the Red-White last year....so maybe this is the completion of a 2-game or 3-event penalty...
I don't think it's fair to generate speculation since those doing so have no idea what he situation is

I would have to believe every player would start with a clean slate with the new coaching staff unless our Prez. is involved which I highly doubt, I for one am tired of players not following the rules which gets them suspended for games, I don"t get it as they came here to play basketball so just get good grades, stay out of trouble and follow the rules and you get to play, simple as that.

[Da Coach]

Yes, because as we all know, Bradley has had an endless record of criminal violations in the past, far worse than any other team.

Geez. Really, when was the last issue of any significance?

You are very curmudgeony this week. Things are starting to heat up! Jump on the optimism bandwagon!

I am a lot more optomistic then you think, just hard to believe someone already has to sit out the red-white scrimmage , I only say this because we are not deep and do not need the early distractions which have happened way too much in the past few seasons. I really like our staff and think the team can be a lot better if they can be at full strength.

From what Dave Reynolds reported, this happened over the summer. So this did happen since Coach Ford has been on campus and was not an old violation which had been previously suggested possible.
