  • It's Game Day - Let the Revolution Continue!

    According to the History Channel,

    231 years ago on March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry gives one of the most stirring oratory of the American revolutionary:

    "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

    In the spirit of throwing off the yoke of oppression, may BU and MVC continue to overthrow the BCS powers brokers and their sycophants

        Look under the definitions of Billy Packer and Digger Phelps for a couple of prime examples

          Love the Patrick Henry quote. This is going to be a tough game, but I believe Bradley can win if they play their game. I'm almost out-of-control excited about it... and it's only 9 AM. 9 hours to go.

          I'm going to run by the bookstore after work, to buy some stuff, but for the game I'm going to have to wear my still unwashed #20 Bradley t-shirt... not very superstitious, but I guess I'm superstitious enough not to change my routine.
