  • Interested in gifting my BU DVD collection to a caring fan

    I've been collecting BU games on DVD for about 15 years. I never watch them. I think it's about time someone who will find some enjoyment out the games take possession of them. You could rip them to Youtube and make a BUTV channel. You could just watch them yourself. Doesn't matter, my only concern is that they go to someone interested in them and will enjoy or maintain them in some way. Also probably needs to be someone close to Peoria so you can pick up. I do not know how many games there are, probably close to 300. If you are interested, please send me a PM. It's all or nothing. The list is pretty accurate but cannot guarantee it is 100% complete or exact.

      I tried to message you, but it says your account can’t receive PM’s. Not sure if it’s a technical difficulty or not.

        I like the idea of someone making a BU channel out of these videos.

        I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

          For some reason they were disabled. I fixed it and sent you a PM.

              That would be great, but I suspect that it would be flagged for copyrighted content. The only way around that might be to find someone at BU that would support getting them loaded on their YouTube channel. Would still need to probably cut any commercials, product placements.

              If someone had a private server that would be invitation only for people that wanted to watch, that might be a way to do it.

                Right on, buddy!

                Maybe a private channel wouldn't be flagged for copyright?

                  Yeah, a private/invite-only channel would be incredible.

                    Happy to say that I am handing the DVDs off to Dub today. It was a labor of love, and I am glad they are going somewhere where they will be of some value to someone other than buried in a closet.

                      You're a good man, Buesch N Chips! Very generous of you and glad that you didn't just toss them or let them continue to gather dust!

                      Any lawyers on this site that know anything about copyright laws and public domain that might help us post these online for everyone?

                        Much appreciated. We are already enjoying them... first impression: holy crap were we good in 1982! Willie Scott ... man!

                          Yes, for us old-timers who were there in 1982, it was a great team to watch and follow. If not for a disappointing upset to ISU in the 1982 MVC Tournament, I believe Bradley would have gone a long way in the NCAA Tournament.
                          Bradley should have been given an at-large bid anyway as the winner of the MVC regular season. But, Dave Gavitt, who was the chairman of the selection committee made sure that the Big East got their top 4 teams in the 48-team tournament, while only the MVCT winner got an invite. Gavitt was also the AD of a Big East school (Providence) and would later become the Commissioner of the Big East
                          The snub might have given the Braves a little more reason to win the NIT. They easily breezed through the competition winning the 5 games en route to the NIT championship by an average of 13 points, including a 95-81 spanking of a very good Syracuse team on their home court, the Carrier Dome, where they rarely lost.
                          Ironically, when Dick Versace complained publicly about Gavitt's selection committee's favoritism in picking 4 Big East teams and snubbing the MVC Champion Braves, Gavitt reportedly said the Big East's 5th place team, Syracuse, was in line to get a bid ahead of Bradley.

                          I have tapes of those NIT games and have watched them several times.

                            What part of illegal don't you understand?

                              Yes. There were several over the years who helped me with this project. Several on this board, plus Chuck Buescher, Frank Bussone (RIP my friend), John Duncan, and others were very kind to share with me what they had saved.
