BU Alumni Game, Sunday June 3

[lightsout]

Yeah great event the crowd was a little small. Good to see lots of the Bradley Alum though. I was SHOCKED when Granger walked in, had no idea he would show up to something like this. Cellus had a throw down at the end of the game, Will Franklin hit a 3 to tie the game up.

And Mike wasnt it white that won or am I loosing my mind already. Gilbert was on the red team and missed the last 2 free throws giving the white team the win.

My bad, it was white. Too many BU players and I confuse easily.

I understand that thanks for the pics so quick Mike, that first picture is a great one of most of the recent Braves with Granger in there it is my background now.

In my opinion, having Granger there ruined a great day. He deserted the team and the University. Should have brought McKay and Broussard with him. Seeing all the loyal ex-Braves sure brought back some memories. Should have alumni games more often.

[Braveman]

Did he get intorudced? How did his being there ruin anything?

Only for some sour fans who can't get over it...

[Chico]

Just seeing him there, trying to act like he was one of the guys, was enough. you're right,to sour my stomach.

[lightsout]

Granger was not announced, I personally was shocked to see him there. I didnt have a problem with him being there though, I spoke with him briefly and he said he wanted to catch up with some old friends and was very nice to me.

[Braveman]

I am just saying- he has friends that played here- regardless of how poorly his exit was done...

I had a great time and his being there didn't bother me because I said- Oh there's DG and then I went back to watching the others...

The only ex-braves there was DG. Once a brave always a brave.

I had a good time. Marcello Robinson was great but kinda got on my nerves. I was sitting on the side with the chairs and he kept giving DRuff a hard time, past a little ribbing.

It was cool for me, a newcomer to the BU tradition to see everyone there. I was very dissapointed in the crowd. However, the crowd that was there was very respectful.

Anyone know who the two players on the east side of the gym by themselves were? Was the really tall guy on the west side of the gym sitting with some current BU staff DC?

[MacabreMob]

I am surprised he was there... but he didn't participate.

Really, it is good for BU to show themselves bigger than the situation and allow (or not care or want) DG to be there and interact with those who knew him well. Obviously wasn't a showcase of DG, so what the heck. If anything, it shows DG might even realize he made a mistake. He WAS comfortable with people at Bradley - enough to come back to an event like this. Good luck to you DG. We DO follow your path in life and we DO wish you only the best.

The tall kid was Anthony Thompson.

For those not there his reference to Ruff was because Ruff, along with Salley, were referees.

Although I didn't see it, I was told JL briefly talked with Granger. Classy move on Jim's part. The past is the past. I'm looking forward to the future.

The past is the past. I'm looking forward to the future.

Exactly.

Let's all move on.

[BUBraves06]

Had a great time today, although I was a little disappointed at the size of the crowd. As others have said, I was surprised with Granger's appearence but that's in the past so I don't see a point in bringing up old grudges. Was definatey a fun time today, was fun seeing some alumni friends and players.

[Da Coach]

I am also all for burying any past grudges. It's great that Danny Granger was here. I hope he was invited by BU, but either way, it shows a great deal of class from the coaches and AD that he was welcomed here. Too bad this kind of event couldn't have been scheduled closer to the end of the basketball season, or in the preseason. Maybe a lot more people could have been able to attend.
