Thank you Braves

[Buesch N Chips]

Why can't my favorite sports teams fans (Bradley basketball and Green Bay Packers) just let things go?

I'm not sure if I'm more sick of the endless Favre/Rodgers comparisons or people still bitter over JL being let go. Change is inevitable, deal with it folks. All the coulda, woulda, shoulda's are just a waste of keystrokes or breath.

Neither side of the argument can say they are "letting it go." Both sides bring up JL constantly, one to praise, the other to rip.

[Buesch N Chips]

nothing ever gets let go on message boards...
heck - obscure things people said 10 years ago are still being quoted even today

Right. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

[Old Coach]

Not really but I'm catching up...just visiting a friend to play pickle ball but I see why so many retirees would go down there.......good grief did I just say that? I must be getting close

I told wily that my folks have been spending time down there with some other people from Morton. I was concerned that it was some kind of cult.

You are wrong BNC...on Nov. 22, 2012, not 1 time was this brought up!

Hmmmm...now that you mention it they were driving their golf carts around with glazed over look in their eyes

If you truly believe Bradley would have had a 25 loss season last year if there wasn't a coaching change, then you are the first and only person who believes that.

Yeah....maybe it would have been 22 or 20 or 10 or 27...that fact is no one knows for sure. The change wasn't made just for last year....you know that DC..

There are extremes on both sides and quite frankly it's more about the posters than anyone at BU that has caused many to lose their sense of being objective.

Go Braves.

Some of you need to get over yourselves. I think some of you post just to read your own words.

Great point! This is the reason why I hardly ever post anymore because of all the bickering.

Hey we WON we beat the dead birds, let's all be happy for once. This, he said she said stuff is getting (f)ing old! If it continues I may have to take a break from here. We have what we have and nothing from the past is going to help us going forward. This is worse then the arguments I have with my fiance about things I did 5 years ago.

Now on to the subject of this thread. Thank you team! Go Braves!

I agree and CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BRAVES FOR A GREAT VICTORY-I had a lot of fun and the crowd was very loud-keep it up.

[Da Coach]

Can we get the students to come back for our next home game Tuesday vs. Evansville? What does Bradley need to do to get them out? I know Pres. Glasser made a great effort to encourage the turnout vs. ISU.

[lake Camelot]

What does Bradley need to do to get them out?

Play ISU or maybe Depaul, or get ranked as a top 20 team.

Pickle ball? Sure you aren't old enough already? Getting big out here also, but I'll stick to golf, tough enough on the old knees.

With the exciting win I'll be disappointed if the student section (lower bowl) isn't mostly full for Eville.

Bottom line: Decent cases can be made for Les' firing (eg, not ever finishing above 4th) and for keeping him (eg, bad luck w/ injuries, fundraising, Sweet 16). Personally, I thought it was time as the steady decline from 2006 was unsettling. Possibly hanging onto Maniscalco and going .500 or so last year shouldn't be a deterrent if you buy into the former case. If you believe a change needs to be made for the long term health of the program you make it. There's never a perfect time.

The coach we have now though has me convinced of his competency and skill, and excited for the direction of the program. Word is getting around and the fans will come back.

the fact that we have alcohol at our games should be enough to get students there...

hell they can easily sneak in a pint/fifth and pour it in a soda
