Thanks Coach for running this forum

[Tommy]

So since it was Arch Madness recently, I have been visiting other team's forums and it really became evident that the BU forum is by far the best one out there. Not just the layout and intuitiveness, but having Coach who is a font of knowledge for not just BU basketball but for college basketball in general. If you haven't had the pleasure of meeting him, he's also just a great guy.

Thanks Coach. We take it for granted quite a bit, but this is my most visited website and it wouldn't be the same without all the work, time, and effort you put in to keeping it going strong.

Also, love the folks on this forum. We're all part of a special BU fan family and I always love it when I meet someone new from here. Haven't met a bad one yet and was lucky enough to meet a couple more of you this year!

I "totally agree" with you Tommy - THANK YOU Da Coach - your dedication and support to Bradley Fans "year round" is unquestionable - and I for one totally appreciate your efforts. And I also appreciate it when you provide additional details that are not that well known both in this forum and when we are all chatting during a Bradley game.

AMEN Tommy!

The fan base of Bradley hoops is incredible and one big thing that has kept me being a Braves fan for 30 years now!
My father and mother are ISU alums.
Dad took me to most of the ISU-BU rivalries in the mid-late 80's and didn't have a favorite team back then, but loved watching Manuel, Hawk, Les, Powell, Trempe, and LUUUUUKE Jackson at Horton Fieldhouse for my 1st live college game. I believe the Braves took that game since they were super that season!

Became a BU fan in 1994 in Ft. Myers, FL when I saw MVC hoops on TV - loved that team with Coach Mo and felt a connection, though I still rooted for ISU-red.
Once you watched the 1994-'95 team once, you CAN'T STOP watching and rooting for them! Went to school at IWU in '96 and watched nearly every Bradley game on WMBD, all the way to the MVC title that year!

If that '94-'96 team had been different, maybe I would have picked ISU as my team. But along the way, I have seen the tremendous support by Braves fans, the high character of staff and student-athletes, and basketball that in general has been fun to watch!

I don't ever see myself loving another team (pro or college) as much as the BRADLEY BRAVES!

And THANK YOU DC for all you do!

Da Coach Da Best!

Thanks everyone!
We have seen enormous numbers of visitors to Bradleyfans.com in the last couple weeks. And the last week or so the numbers of unique visitors have been back at record high levels. I am a bit surprised, considering the drop-off in attendance and nearly every other measure of fan support that started a decade ago, followed by the Covid stuff. But the sellout against Drake, the huge number of Bradley fans in St. Louis, and now the numbers of visitors reading this forum show that the fans are still supporting Bradley, and I believe it will continue to rebound.

Ditto to everything you said Tommy. Thanks Coach for all the time and effort you put into Bradleyfans. We all really appreciate it and I also enjoyed talking with you at Arch Madness….

I'll add my thanks and appreciation for the effort you put into this forum. And most important, the civility on here, all too rare on the internet.

I'm following a number of Valley fan boards and none meet Da Coach's level of research.

Joe! How'd I miss you at Arch Madness, man!

I was thinking the same thing Tommy! I thought I would see you! What were your seat numbers?

Our seat numbers were center Court baby! We never sit in our assigned seats! We’ll meet up next year, brother!

[KillerB]

Couldn't agree more with the other posters. Thank you for making this board a great place to visit and post.

[Stryker]

Couldn't be more correct, this is an A class forum for a sports team. Would miss it forever if it wasn't here, and I've spent a lot time here since 2007.
