2009-2010 Bradley guide

It's not likely your computer actually locking up... the file is a whopping 26 or 27MB, so it downloads pretty slow. Even on a high-speed connection, that can take a bit to download and with Adobe Reader + Windows... it can appear like its locked up. Or, you know, because it's Windows, actually lock up.

Solution? Buy a Mac ;)

There is an old rule that you should never open a .pdf file, but instead right-click on the link and "save as" then open from the hard drive
I just decided to live dangerously and did a open in a new window and it did OK.


After reading it, I feel so recruited! Can I play?

duh, of course they do Mac-- you know BU-detractors never like to actually hear BU is doing well!

Well that's my point. There are some Tornado-haters who would roll the eyes and smack the head while saying... "OMG, if it weren't for the little stupid post-season tourneys Bradley bought into the last couple years..." - so my question is, would they say the same to B Parker and his Recruiting Guide to his face? Just wondering.

Suppose B Parker's gonna let me have it for saying that. Bobby - you can PM me or I think you have my email. :)
 
Usually when i gets "complained" about there is a big difference. In the guide you can't just leave it out like it didn't happen. The fact is..it happened so it's listed in there because it's true. But if you are someone (like Tornado) that uses it to compare to other teams and tournaments it's a little ridiculous. If you are having trouble understanding what I mean then here is just a common one: comparing ISU's , UNI's , CU's, etc. post season tournament victories vs. bradley's post season victorious in the last 2 seasons. Anyone who isn't completely incompetent can see that the tournaments those teams got into have better competition and therefore would have less post season wins, yet we are the better team because we have more post season wins?? It's ridiculous. When we are compared to other teams in post season wins in the last 4 seasons and we are in the top 25 or whatever it is...it's embarrassing..those teams have succeeded in the NCAA tournament and we have not won a 3rd tier tournament in the last 2 seasons. If you think it means something more than just a few more home games then fine, but stop getting on the people's case who think they mean nothing.

I don't remember anyone posting that the Braves were better than UNI or CU because of their tournament records the past 2 years. IMO, BU would be foolish to turn down bids to any post season tournaments. It's a reward for the team and their loyal fans. But I don't think you should be got on for expressing your opinion.
 
Well if it hasn't been outwardly stated there has been many insinuations about it. People sometimes compare our post season victories vs. another teams post season victories and expect us to eat it up without thinking about it. Yeah I'm happy we have more home games, yes play in the tournament when it's offered to you, but please stop using it as a gauge to other teams and status in the valley. And we don't have 21 win season, that needs to happen in the regular season to mean anything. I know you haven't chico but it definitely happens.
 
Bradleyguy10 - whenever I see Tornado post stuff like that... I take it as it is. Just a statement of a fact. In your words - It happened so it is stated. Then people who hate on Tornado read it as Tornado bragging. So they try to tear down the facts and deflate them and unglorify them... making the facts look useless. Then the battle begins. All over facts being stated. Tornado-haters infer from them incorrectly just cause they hate Tornado. Then the "kool-ade" drinkers see them as what they are... facts, and rally to his side of the argument. Then we get the name calling (kool-ade drinkers, debbie-downers, Les-haters, etc...) and a big melt down. All over one guy making a statement of facts (but people don't like the fact-stater).

It's all pretty amusing to me actually. LOL! :lol:

But so my question is... those same Tornado-haters - do they react to Bobby Parker's Recruiting Guide stating the facts the same way? Would they walk up to Bobby and point out how his Guide's stating those facts need to be clarified and shown how 21-win seasons are not THAT good, or how 10 post-season victories are not THAT good? Just wondering. And maybe also stirring the pot. And like I said... I'll likely get it from Bobby for bringing this up. :-P And like I said, Bobby knows how to get a hold of me. :D

I appreciate most of T's threads but at times I disagree with him. Most of the time I just don't respond to the one's I have no interest in. The threads are meant to have responses and not everyone is going to agree. That doesn't mean T is hated by anyone. That's a strong word to be using on a board like this.

I know Chico. Not everyone that disagrees with T means they hate him. But I do know of a couple that have told me they hate him. And maybe not just him - but hate what he says, how he says it, etc.

I guess the mighty redbirds are only going to need around ten wins in the Valley to make their record "mean anything" this year. I would personally not be very happy to have their schedule, go 11-1 in non-conference games and just 10-8 in the Valley. However, they would have their "meaningful" 21 regular-season wins.

as I have always said...what does it indicate about a person if they openly claim they hate someone they've NEVER met just because of an opinion?

Well... maybe they feel like they "know" you by reading all the things you've said. LOL!

Whatever you do... don't stop posting your stuff T, not only do I like reading statements of facts, but I get a kick outta how the "haters" get their panties in a bunch over it. :lol:
 
speaking of panties in a bunch...
I would like to make a suggestion for the mods (of whom I am no longer)...

so many people have trendily gone to avatars of scantily clad women, that I think we are bordering on two concerns..

-one is that some new, young, or modest BradleyFans fans might view this site is a bit risque...and I think this is a legitimate concern and maybe we should have some common sense on this

-second, even tho the pics are not always "over the line" or porn, sometimes I like to get on BradleyFans when I am at one of my places of work...and others who see the page I am viewing could react to the pictures and conclude I am on an objectionable page...

so I propose a "gentleman's agreement" and a moratorium...
how about we all go to sports related and basketball related avatars and stay away from looking like we are trying to push the envelop or sell sex??
Can we have a consensus on this??

I'm not selling sex. My girls are always to promote their music. I usually put a link to a song in my Signature. I didn't put one in this time as I haven't decided on one yet. Fuchsia is the gal from Bella Lune and is now in the band Dreamgaze.

Tornado.....funny you should mention this as one of my bosses was looking over my shoulder (I did not see him)...he went crazy telling all that would listen that I was looking at pictures on the web that, he would not have thought I would go to. I tried to explain what site I was on, but he still let everyone know I was perusing pics of scantly clad women.....I used to have a pretty good reputation around here.....oh well.....

maybe Ben can help me out of this mess :)

I agree. I did complain about an avatar a while back which I thought went too far to be on a basketball board and was the subject of ridicule by some. Not that I don't enjoy them, if fact I have my favorites, but I do agree with you T.
 
It has been quite the girl show around here ... I thought about posting some hot men pics for my avatar. Or something really girly like a Bella/Edward pic. But I'll stick with Jimmy for now.
