looking forward to watching the game Saturday Bradley fans, don't forget Indiana State is in a different time zone than Illinois.

I believe there is a bus trip for this game.

Where did you see information about this? I don't see anything on the Bradley website about it.
Here is the Braves Club page, and it's not mentioned.

now wait a minute -- isn't this just what people here have been saying for 2.5 years (despite some who inexplicably say we should shoot more from long range) - that we need to feed the post more instead of jacking up 3's at a 28% pace and putting heads down and driving into triple teams?
if we're 90 games into Geno's tenure and he's just now figured out we need to feed the post a bit more, I guess I am a little concerned...

...also nice to know who's got the 8th best Valley start...

Hmmm??¦ I don't remember where I heard it.

They have had bus trips in past seasons that were just for the athletic department staff and family, and not intended for the fans. If there is a bus, it must not be a fan trip or they would be promoting it more. We'd be happy to help promote such a fan trip, I have taken many of these fan bus trips in the past myself, and I'm sure a lot of others here have, too.

There was once a time when the Braves Club (usually lead by Dewey Kalmer or Ken Golden) organized bus trips to many of the road games every year, and they would be packed. Sometimes demand would even spill over enough to require a 2nd bus. Not long ago, Bradley always had a substantial fan presence at road games in Des Moines, Carbondale, Terre Haute, Cedar Falls, Evansville, and others. The good old days.

Ah, the good old days is right. Never went on a bus trip to a game because our group always took a van load. Went on several plane trips though. We took a few trips after the 32-3 season, but not as many.

I'm expecting to see the same crap. Just a different day.

Does anyone know who the announcers will be on WAOE?

[tornado]

You have an interesting question - not one of the mentions of the coverage by WAOE has even hinted at who will be doing/announcing the broadcasts

[Da Coach]

Last year when we got the broadcasts taken from the opponents, we had our own broadcast team of Brian Bedo and Danny Adams. But we haven't seen any reports that we'll get our own broadcast team, so I am guessing that could mean we will see the Indiana State announcing team.

wow - Indiana State ought to be ranked..

[Da Coach]

wow - Indiana State ought to be ranked..

They might start to get a few votes if they keep winning. Their only 3 losses are all road games against decent teams- at Belmont, at Tulsa, and at St. Louis. And 2 of the losses were by 1 point.

The Las Vegas line is Indiana State -14.5 points.
Considering that Bradley is 2-11 against the Vegas spread, it's going to be tough.
