Organizing Student Section & BU Chants

[VromanFan]

I hope you are kidding with that name. Coach Les is a class act and I'm disappointed that such a thing is even being tolerated on this board.

Yes. For shame.

Just thinking about that horrible word "Lesticles" is making me angry. And kind of sweaty. Not that pent up kind of anger...more of a easy going....low hanging type of rage.

And also I'm angry twice. Come on guys...class it up. The name "Lesticles" is totally a nutty idea. Completely nuts.

I think maybe what would be cool is for Bradley alumni to organize a cheering challenge against the current Bradley students. Get your most raucous alumni together to have their own creative chants vs. the students'. Or they can see who is going to be louder. Maybe having this challenge would draw more students out or something. Challenge their red pride or whatever. I think taking out a large ad in the Scout would be cool.

At the end of the game, we let the rest of the arena determine who was better through applause. The winner gets crowned the "the Bravest of Them All." or whatever weird school-related title we can create. The challenge resumes the next home game and so on.

So, we have two times as more chants and such plus two groups with their own school-related names (Red Pride vs. Lesticles?) and hopefully more noise at the arena.

I'm still a fan of the Lesticles!

There is no logo to match the Lesticles that I would wear on a shirt. And I am sure that Coach Les would be thrilled about having his name used like that.

Well Rusty, you've cr@pped all over our attempts to have fun with this, so what's your brilliant suggestion?

My suggestion was Les' Lunatics. If you want to be a Lesticle its not like I am stopping you.

I'm all for taking out a large ad in the Scout.

do the students have to have a name revolving Jim Les?

[Braves4Life]

The Bradley Braves

do the students have to have a name revolving Jim Les?

I think I'd like to see the students call themselves The Bradley Braves and dress in full Indian regalia with war cries and all. That'll show the NCAA

I don't think the name has to. The Izzone @ Michigan State and others have coaches names, but that doesn't mean we have to.

I would love to do this, I dont think the administration would love me for it though.

Yeah, I thought about this too, or an native americanish cheer or something. However, I know the administration would not really like it, they have enough pressure on themselves anyway. In fact they confiscated a few of the students signs at the MVC tournament because they were directed at an individual person on the other team I believe.

If I recall correctly, at least one sign had to do with Tatum and a DUI.

[BradleyBrave]

If the name doesn't have to be involved with the coach, might I suggest the Tribe, the Reservation, or the Casino.

In all seriousness, back in the 80's the student section went by the name 'The Baseline Bums'. I don't know of any college that has a similar student section name, and you guys do sit on the baseline, so why not revive an old tradition (and one that shouldn't offend too many people)?

If the "Baseline Bums" is a reference to the students' posterior regions I am highly highly offended!!! Keep it clean!

What about "The Teepee"

Yeah:

POY

DUI

I probably agree with the administration, though at the time it was dissapointing.
