If you are too embarrassed to go to the games(I AM NOT!) I will take your tickets off your hands. I will use them to take my boys. Need to build a solid foundation for the future of BU fandom. Let me know. I will meet you to pick them up.

Lemonade from lemons I always say!
Having BU win the game was always a bonus for me when I could still attend home games.
The excuse to go out during an otherwise intolerable winter in Peoria, to enjoy pregame meals out with friends and fellow BU backers, the anticipation, the band, the bright lights, the beautiful and athletic cheerleaders doing amazing stunts, the halftime entertainment (corny, stale, but still people or sometimes animals doing things I can't), booing the officials or the opposition, the emotional thrill/involvement of victory OR agony of defeat taking my mind off work/the world's terrible problems, meeting new people sitting around me, or, getting to know/catch up with longtime season ticket holders sitting around me I otherwise had no other contact with in my life, actually winning a 50-50, catching BU stuff sent into the audience by cheerleaders then being able to give it to nearby kids making their day brighter, the inevitable second guessing of coaches and players decisions, the next days discussions with other bb fans about BU's successes or failures, the eager anticipation of another BU season after baseball's gone away and the wait for football's real season (the playoffs) to begin...
That part of going to games, being a fan, was good enough for me, BU winning was just luscious dessert.
My doctor told me to go on a diet, so, I'm ok with holding off of the dessert for awhile...BUilding for the Future

+1, this is why Bradley will still draw 7,500+ even though they are awful. It's a community event, and something the whole of the Peoria area can have in common. I'll never stop going. (Though I will say for the first time last night through much of the end of the first half and before I left early, I may have been eying the ISU dance team, cheerleaders, and miscellaneous girls around the arena....Originally posted by AZ BU Fan View Post

... At the end, of the storm, there's a golden sky. And the sweet silver song of the lark. Walk on, through the wind, walk on, through the rain, though your dreams be tossed, and blown. Walk on, Walk on with hope in your hearts, and you'll never walk alone!
I'm behind you 100% Bradley Braves, You'll Never Walk Alone! BEAT STATE!Comment

Agreed--kinda like being a Cubs fan--people show up even though they are bad. And I also agree that the scenery at ISU was better than the gameOriginally posted by BUFanatic View Post+1, this is why Bradley will still draw 7,500+ even though they are awful.
