WE WANT HEEMSKERK! -
We (fans and administration) are getting some respect on the PC board:
Almost embarassing looking into Bradley, it's like Bizarro-Friars program over there. Everything that we either wish we were doing or we should be doing.
-They are confident they'll be mowing us down
-Their fans are actually excited about the NIT, lining up for tickets, and we can expect a sellout. They've already sold out the student tickets and the lower bowl. We've never had that reaction to an NIT home game, and maybe that speaks to expectations.
-They are doing a white-out. Special copy and paste for Cajun: After conducting two successful ???‚¬?“Red-Out???‚¬?? promotions during the regular season, Bradley is sponsoring its first ???‚¬?“White-Out???‚¬?? of the year Wednesday night. Thanks to the sponsorship of Methodist Medical Center , Prairie Home Alliance and Wingate Properties, special white t-shirts will be available at Carver Arena Wednesday night. Fans simply will need to present their NIT ticket at designated locations throughout Carver Arena to receive their t-shirts.
- Their website is miles ahead of ours, streaming the coaches radio show and a "TV site" that has been streaming video of games, lots of updates and information, not just a "press release" every now and again
- Which by the way, they may be streaming Wed night game - they are trying to work out the rights with ESPN
-Their fans are encouraging emails to coaches and players to, get this, thank them for the great season

Whoa...this is awesome.
The Providence fans are listing the numerous ways in which we Bradley fans are light years ahead of most fans of other teams.
But it doesn't surprise me, since I have known we have the greatest fans all along.
And we have the best fan webiste........
GO BU!!Comment

Glad to know were good fans before the game. Let's show them were good fans at the game! I really hope we sell out. I can't wait to see Bradley get another notch in their belt.Originally posted by IheartBU
This brings up an interesting point... My friend and I were discussing how the Sports Marketing Department was on to something when they vaguely made references to the Bradley Student Section as the 'Red Pride.' There is a fan 'reward club' of the same name, but I really think marketing the student section or even the whole crowd as 'The Red Pride' could really be effective. I think it promotes the fans as a collective whole and creates a sense of community... just my two cents!Comment

I think BU fans are generally a good bunch. I have heard some 'crap' and it embarrasses me... and I think it usually is coming from a mis-informed fan on the 'game of college hoops' rather than some Tackle-Box suckin' down jars just looking for an argument.Originally posted by amckillip
Providence will get respect.
But it will be rowdy.Comment

Nice to see the props for bradleyfans.com there... though Providence, Big East or not, doesn't really have too firm a ground to be looking down on Bradley as far as Basketball goes... they are, at best, a lot like us in terms of bball heritage.
By the way, IHeartBU... just what the hell is your avatar? heheComment

Drop Industrial Engineering, you must crazy? I love it AND it's the top-rated department at Bradley!! Though I am taking a marketing class for my business minor...Originally posted by IheartBUAww, Andy ... you need to ditch the IE thing and come over to the dark side of public relations ...Originally posted by amckillip
Really though, I think I could really be proud(no pun intended) to be part of a student section, or group of fans, known as the Red Pride. Maybe it's just because I already love Bradley, but I think those kind of things would keep the ball rolling on this upswing of popularity were having due to our recent success.Comment

I agree with Andy about re-naming the entire student section "Red Pride." But you shouldn't listen to iheartbu about switching to PR. She doesn't know much
. JOURNALISM is the way to go. Tell the news like it is; none of that fluffy stuff.

I was an internationl business guy. Nobody knows how that applies to this conversation... but there you go anyway.
Edit: meant to say Red Pride sounds like a good name for the student section... And once we have the red pride in place we can revive the Bradley Pride mascot concept... I liked that one quite a bit.Comment

I'm sure we can come up with a better name than red pride for a permanent student section organization.Comment
