How is the fact that you were against the KK firing, but for the Joe Stowell firing consistent, but someone who was for the KK firing (a person who has far more influence BTW) and against the Stowell firing inconsistent?????? Talk about a double standard. Jeeze. The only way the two were related is that it's pretty clear they were casualties of Pres. Glasser's Micromanagement.

Hey, I'm on you're side. I was saying the new leadership clearly has far less respect for tradition than do fans and alum. If you only look at what we've been lately, that an MVC also-ran, plain and simple, but I think we all know we're more than that. That is why I think the administration is making a mistake in trying to distance itself from that.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. That being said, I was against the KK firing, against playing a regular season game at the new facilities, against the handling of the Stowell situation, and against Glasser's micromanagement. Now that's consistency! :idea: ;-):lol:
Nope. I did not celebrate the KK situation. I disagreed with that move. I also disagree with the Stowell move.
I thought we agreed but I could not tell if you thought our current leaders respected and valued our history/tradition as much as fans, ticket holders, alumni. I also think their is an obvious difference of opinion.

If you've ever noticed Joanne Glasser always refers to "helping Bradley become a university of national distinction." That is her vision for Bradley University.
With that vision in mind I think it is obvious that she has a clear mission to build and lead BU with minimal regard to certain traditions and the status quo. If she can help to increase the value of a Bradley diploma while putting quality, winning products on the athletic field then I have more tolerance for seeing some things done that I may disagree with. In fact, I think I have heard where the vision is to ultimately double BU's enrollment.
That said, I still disagree with dropping Coach Stowell so unceremoniously from the HOF Committee. I think the Coach earned and deserved better than that.

Coach had to have done something unbeknownst to us.....like something he said about Glasser or some disagreement.....etc..
Agreed wholeheartedly about the privacy laws and how the news media tends to blow things way out of proportion. Believe me, that's one of my huge pet peeves too!
As I replied to Da Coach last night though, the info he stated regarding this whole situation was more than enough for me, as are the facts you stated above tornado. And I do admit that I did gloss over the part where WMBD was the one who let Coach Stowell go, so that was "my bad".
The paper did indeed make that part clear, though they did not need to try to bring Les into this situation where he had really nothing to do with anything regarding this. However, I do appreciate KW stating that Les had nothing to do with the actual decisions regarding Stowell, and also him explaining the HOF committee term limit laws. So really that is all I need to know, and that is all I expect of the media. The rest as you said tornado should stay private unless any one of the parties involved decides to speak to the media.

You OK Benni:-o We agree on all the above
Is there a chance we have the same Mama:? What do you look like:?: Are you about 5'11, brown eyes, 190 lbs, white on top and have bowled legs
If not, it really does not mean we are not bothers, just that we may have different Daddy's8) JK, Man, JK :lol:Question....did ANYONE on here that was asking for change in the BU athletic dept. ever consider Coach Stowell as part of that change you wanted ?
I THINK I recall OOB saying...."go BIG and fire Stowell from the radio team and kick him off the HOF committee"....of something to that effect.

I have heard the vision of doubling BU's enrollment as well, and I think it's crazy. Maybe we could support 7,000 at most, but we literally couldn't house 10,000 students on campus and in the surrounding area. Rent would be crazy high, and it would drive students to want into the dorms that at 5000 undergrads are filled to capacity... Not to mention at 10,000 you start to feel much more like a large state school than the family BU is currently.
And that my friend is just what KW said he researched, found no bases of the fact and wrote in such a way to el imitate any rumors:!: Although I find it hard to believe that JL has made no comment about the issues of Coach Stowell:? (Even a thank you for all you done and wise you well) Maybe theres a gag order on JL or anyone in the Admin about coach
Maybe there is something to what BU fan 9 posted:
All I'm going to say is if you talk bad about Glasser you lose your job.

There's plenty of time for Les to comment about this. It may happen as early as the preseason, but then again, that's up to him if he even wants to comment on this.
If I'm him, especially with his opinions, I don't touch this with a 20 foot pole. Nothing good can come of it. If he agrees, he's vilified by fans, if he disagrees, he will encounter the wrath of glass.

You right Friend:!: Wrath of Glass:lol::lol: Good One:lol::lol:
I do. Where do you get the feeling they don't see eye to eye?
It's pretty well established that JL didn't like the criticism he received on broadcasts from Coach.
With regards to housing, FWIW, the school paper noted that if BU has another large freshman class next year, sophomores have the chance to move to Main Street Commons off-campus. The school kicked in about 10% of the project's cost, but it came from its endowment.
The problem with the expanding BU to 10k students is simply the fact the campus is hemmed in. It's going to take some creative planning (and more money) to pack 10k students on an 85 acre (maybe more with the new quad) campus. One area that I think the school really is going to target is Peoria-area kids, on the assumption they will commute.
