    Chico, it's ok to call kids on other teams a bum, just not Bradley players...

      Murph, the conditions LS transferred were completely different than D. Granger and I don't see anybody calling him a bum. I don't wish him well in his pro career after what he pulled on Bradley and his teammates, but I guess I'm not into name calling.
      What part of illegal don't you understand?

        .....how many people here think he is a "bum"

        I think Edmondo makes many good points, and I also couldn't believe the kind of negatives we'd routinely see about JJ Tauai, Marcello Robinson, Brandyn Heemskerk, etc....
        ALTHOUGH....I might point out, that all of those comments were on another board...NOT THIS ONE....
        Only one post here ever used the word bum....and that's unfortunate, as I am certain nobody else here feels that way....
        (ps-- do a search and you'll find only ONE post ever who uses the word bum in reference to any college player anywhere)

        As examples...here are some of the earliest posts about JJ on BradleyFans.com (which did not exist before Jan of 2005)

        They are all quite positive and even oppose the negative posts seen on a certain other board....but then most of the fans over there are anti-Bradley.

          Tornado, I was not speaking specifically about this board, but just Peoria basketball fans in general. We have to remember that these are 18-22 year old kids who generally are out of their parents houses for the first time ever and really have no idea of what they want to do with their future. I know that when I was that age I was as fickle, if not more so, than any of these players who transferred away from BU. It does no good to say things like "good riddance," or "we're better off without them." Just thank them for their time on the Hilltop, the hard work they performed while they were here and wish them luck in the future. That's all that really needs to be done.

            I can't disagree with Edmondo here. Danny Granger is something of a special case because of some of the circumstances... but I'm over that. A guy like Lance leaving, just because he didn't feel it was working out, well... he's an adult, he can do what he likes. I don't know of anything he did or said to belittle BU after he left, so there's no reason really to discuss him after that. (I don't mind seeing updates on how he's playing)

              I agree, and I think the overwhelming portion of the Bradley fans feel this way.

                and I think you can tell by all the posts we have regarding how guys like Ray Brown, JFears, MRembert, etc... are doing now....I think it shows most of us really still admire these kids and wish them well.

                  Tornado, I know that most people on this board really do care about past players and wish them well. It's the small minority who choose to take the low road that frustrate me.

                    Nice article about Lance Stemler, who will be playing close to his home when Indiana plays at Southern Illinois Saturday night.-

                      Huge game tonight in C-Dale. Not too many ranked teams want to come to SIU and play a non-conference game so the general consensus around town is that there will be plenty of pre-game beverages and it is going to get crazy, especially with an afternoon playoff football game today as well.

                      Of course you will find me in the IU section proudly supporting the Hoosiers. Because I'm for BU and whoever is playing SIU these days.

                        You have to look at the post from the opposite end. The comment isn't a reflection on Lance (despite him being the target), it is a reflection on the character of the poster. Just because someone writes something, doesn't make it true, but the words do give insight into the author.
