A lack of class

as usual, our friendly redbird fans can't help but display their lack of class.

At the end of the day, their diplomas (if they even graduated) still say ISU. That's all that really matters.

Let's not be too quick to lump all ISU fans together. I do not think most feel this way, as is demonstrated by Danny Cooksey's post in that discussion. There will always be some animosity between the rival schools, but I think it's much less now than it was in the past.

even typing this much isn even barely worth the time spent to to discuss anything ISU related..

you guys know the saying...
"if you can't go to school, go to state"!

Enough said!

I wonder if those ISU fans had a big celebration last year when Bradley lost their Sweet 16 game last year to Memphis?

I'm not trying to wear out my welcome here, but not all ISU fans feel this way. Yeah there will always be animosity, but I can assure you that most Redbird fans were pulling for BU last year in the NCAA's. I would say 25% might have cheered at the most.

I'd also like to add that the old joke about "can't go to school go to state" is simply an outdated concept. Illinois State academically has undergone an extreme transformation the last 6-7 years. It's now regarded as one of the best public universities in the midwest. I don't have the links handy, but I've read several sources that support this.

It's a good school as much as you claim it's a bad one. I have my BS from Illinois State and I'm proud of it.

Back to the topic at hand, I know several Redbird fans that were very much in support of BU in their NCAA and NIT appearances the last 2 years. You can't lump us all in that pot.

Carry on......

I'm a Bradley supporter.. then a Valley supporter, then a midmajor supporter. I use the can't go to school go to state but really all in good fun. I work with ISU grads and my mom got her masters at ISU (and I'm thinking about it since BU doesn't have the degree I'm looking for).

Also, be comforted, I have another joke, "can't go to state, go to Southern!" Also, really, all in just good fun--- though these days I hate Southern with a fierce passion (but am rooting for them in the NCAA).

So if you see me using it, I really don't mean anything by it...

tFish7 - don't worry, we all know what you are.... you are just a Flamer.

haha I'm hoping you mean flamer in the BB sense, and not so much in the figurative sense.

Only in the BB sense... and this is coming from the MessageBoardBully.

I got 'Flamer' from the 'other' board. They called me that whenever I lit up UIUC when something went bad for them.

I just hope when I die they bury me face down so...
