OK-I'll take the bait. About once a year I seem to have had it up to here with the negative comments on JL/the questions on why we even follow him. I agree with T that I cheer for every Bradley player and coach after they graduate from Bradley and go on with their basketball career/life.

but truthfully in my book JL goes way beyond that

his brother played for BU
he was the ball boy when his brother played for BU
he played for DV in one of the greatest teams in BU history in the last 50 years
he went on to the NBA
he came back to Bradley as head coach and coached the team to the greatest run in 50+ years
he was unceremoniously dispatched by a President pretty new to the university

He is just about as much Bradley family/Bradley Basketball royalty as we can find

So, yes in my book I will always follow JL's career and yes I will lament where we are. Costs too much/delivers too little/plays a horrible schedule. We are in a bad place right now and I hope we recover soon-Bradley needs it.

Now everyone can scream about the post but at least it is off my chest.

Great post HoustonBrave. Agree 100 percent.

you will find that the mention of or the topic of Jim Les comes up less often here than on other certain message boards that I know you frequent...check it out yourself..

I don't get into all those conversations T....again why is that relevant to threads on this board that having nothing to do with JL until someone has to get their dig in when something goes well for JL and goes bad for BU?
