How many are driving to Chicago to support BU on sat. night? We could use a big crowd as this is an important game and it would be great for the team to see a huge amount of people cheering for them on the road.

I am going with 50 people, 8 or 9 of whom are current students. It is a very easy drive, I encourage as many people as possible to come out.Can we start winning soon? -
Me and a couple of friends are going. I have a few friends at UIC and from what they tell me, this is going to be their biggest crowd of the season, and they are promoting the game just about everywhere. I managed to get tickets through a friend as well so I will be sitting in the lower bowl. I'm looking forward to it!This is just the tip of the iceberg...

I can verify that, as the Daily Herald (one of the big newspapers up here if you don't know it) had an ad on the bottom of the FRONT PAGE of the Sports section yesterday with a promotion for the game.Originally posted by bugregshu View PostGo Braves!Comment

What is the predicted outcome of this game? Is BU really their biggest opponent of the year?Compete. Defend. Rebound. Win.Comment

Here is their schedule, the only other team that could even maybe be considered bigger then us is DePaul, but we're obviously better then them. They do play Butler and Wright State in conference.Originally posted by Dub View Post

UIC/Bradley
Bradley is likely the 2nd best team we'll play at home this season...most UIC fans should expect Butler to be the best team to come to the Pavilion. However, it's easier to hype up a non-conference team we don't play twice every year, so this will probably be the most heavily attended game (many fans will be Bradley fans)....
However, we're also playing in the Paradise Jam where we have the chance to play Baylor/Charlotte/Georgia Tech/Monmouth/Notre Dame/Wichita State. So, these are quality opponents as well.
As for Depaul, that is definitely a bigger game for us than Bradley...it's inner-city, and they have been reluctant to give us games...although, it's been rumored that our opening game next year will be Depaul at the Pavilion.
Good luck!Comment

Unfortunately I can't afford a drive to chicago, so I will be getting plowed and going to the soccor game instead.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford

I have had my tickets for a few weeks, but I heard today from several of my old college buddies who live in the Chicago area. They still like to follow Bradley and have returned for a game or 2 every year, including the bad years. They got their tickets and will join the BU contingent at the game. I believe Bradley could have almost as many fans there as UIC.Comment

Make sure you don't embarrass DePaul too much when you play them. Otherwise, they'll find reasons not to schedule anymore like they did for BU (after 3 straight double-digit defeats at the hands of the Braves).Originally posted by Big D From UIC View PostOnward and Upward!
