Here is a thread from the Saluki message board about the SIU-BU game. Looks like Bradley doesn't stand a chance. The voting in the poll is 88% in favor of the Salukis winning! --

actually, from reading the posts, it sounds as if the SIU fans do respect Bradley. Though their comments about Peoria are humorous. Like people from Carbondale have a lot to brag about?

[real fan]

Nothing like having a bunch of bricklayers calling us a bunch of chuckers.

[Guinness]

What's that I smell? Oh, just our RPI jumping.

[Da Coach]

Maybe that could be Bradley's new mascot.... a Chucker.

I didnt' see any negative comments about P-town in that thread? Only thing I saw was someone suggesting it's a "short drive..." though I think it's about 5 hours...

I must have seen it in another discussion somewhere. That topic doesn't have anything negative about Peoria in it.

Hehhe, okay... thought I was crazy or something.

I think everyone makes fun of Peoria. I really cant blame them with the songs they play during the online breaks listening to WMBD.

I dont think anywhere can ever have another Jimmy's though.

Agreed. That's my bar too.

Well, if Bradley can find a way to score against SIU's defense tonight... I'll have a pint!

Line: SIU -1 1/2 at Bradley

[Grassman]

They have to stop 8 potential scorers, we only have to stop 3 Tatum, Shaw, and Falker. Unless Young decides to have one of his infrequent, better games
If Falker gets in foul trouble, which he often does and Young does not show up, which he is prone to do, Braves win going away!

[real fan]

Stop Shaw and Siu only scores 55 points; Andrews and Salley need to score 20 which would leave 40 points spread out for Franklin, Ruffin, Tuai, Adams, Warren, and Singh.
