1959

That's when I became a BU fan.......and yes that's @ birth! I just wanted to post before the game how PROUD I am of the University.....the coach's.......the players and the city of Peoria for getting behind this Great Event!

Now mater the outcome I just want to say......How Proud I feel to be a Braves fan and will cherish this moment forever......thanks to everyone and here's to my favorite team........GO BRAVES! And thanks again to the team for showing such CLASS!

PS.........good news the Braves are a 6 pt under-dog! YES...this is where we want to be ..........the DOG!

Couldn't agree more. It's great to see the city get behind this team. We're making history! Remember Kent State in '01? Who's to say BU can't pull this off. By the way, BU was a bigger underdog against KU and Pitt. I'm so proud to be a brave right now, win or lose, we've won the country's respect. We can do this. GO BRAVES!!!

For now we're back on the map and I would think the recruiting just got a lot harder .............now we have to decide who WE WANT!

This has been a lot of fun and so totally unexpected considering where this team was two months ago. My first Bradley game was in 1967 (thanks Dad!), and I liked it so much, I decided to go to school there. For those who think Illinois is too boring to drive through, you need to take I-74 Westbound--the view coming into East Peoria with Peoria in the background is stunning, to say the least!!

I was a casual fan from birth here in the river city in 1962. Finally bought season tiks six years ago after moving back to Peoria. Caught the Braves on the road several times while living away. Now I am a fanatic. This has been a fun ride. Proud to be a Brave and a native of River City.
