ESPN Q&A with Jim Les

Think BradleyBrave will especially like the last sentence of the third question.

He can now update his tag line...
 
I liked all the answers Jimmy gave:D Some are or close to what we have heard in years past (bigger and stronger):| But I like Jimmys optimism and always have:!: I think Jimmy with the additions of Scott and Platt will from the team of coachs that will make things happen:D Go get them Jimmy and company:!::!::D Can't wait for it all to start:D

Im sure a lot of guys have it.

I know that the PJ Star is doing a lot of preseason work and articles on Bradley. I know each year they put an incredible amount articles, features, previews, etc. in the awesome HOOPS Section of the paper. I don't know of any other similar-size newspaper who puts such a comprehensive college basketball section together each year. Its impressive.

I think you can either do small articles and release them one at a time or put them in one big feature like the Hoops Section of the paper and online. To me I still get to read the stuff. Two ways to skin a cat I suppose.
 
bbravefan...seriously -- how come every other media outlet gives us more than the local Peoria media give..?
You can spin it saying they have already got a ton of great stuff, but they're not giving it out yet --
but they're saving it for some insert in November??
By November - people who want that info will have found it elsewhere....it'll be too little too late...
I'd prefer to see some ongoing, fair, and maybe even some positive coverage now.....

Exactly what I was thinking when I read the insider preview for Bradley last night.....(see ESPN MVC preview thread on here)

PJstar "can't" get good details throughout the offseason...but ESPN can?

Good point BB. Too often we only hear the negative that the EVIL Pjstar does. The Hoops Section is very good and very detailed.

I wish the Pjstar would print the game capsules for each game right now. Why wait until the day of the game??

This is like people putting up Christmas decorations already. Is there anything wrong with waiting until we are actually in the season??

Christmas starts in October now.

Should the PJStar do Bradley basketball articles every day? Once a week? What? What is good enough?

I posted links to 5 or 6 BU stories in the last month alone from the paper.

I am positive that once the season actually starts there will be a ton of BU articles about practices, coaches, players, the season, the conference, etc.

Unless the secret conspiracy has overthrown the PJStar and forbids it:roll::roll::roll:

They do a great job with the section. And that type of section was very relavent before the internet and the want/need for immediate information.

By the time the section goes to print it is likely old news. Sorry but I want that type of information all year long not all at one time on a date chosen by a newspaper.

The PJStar established a section online dedicated to Bradley Basketball, why wait on any information for some insert into the print version of the paper? Same goes for the information for any of the schools they include in that insert.

This is 2010 not 1986. Times have changed and if your going to hold off and wait your going to get ran over and out of business pretty quick.
 
Kind of funny how a good ESPN article/interview means a blast on PJS...

This could be the only pub all year from espn......

I was thinking the same thing. I don't understand why some positive press before the season has to be an automatic jab at the local news media. I'm willing to bet that the local paper gives BU about 10 to 20 times more coverage than 'the network' does this season.

Also to respond to one of JD's posts - I agree, clearly the conspiracy has gone global!

Kinda funny how a national sports site gets a better article than the local newspaper...

This could be the only positive coverage all year...

and this would be the same type of interview with any college team in the country...but I'm guessing you will find some negative articles from local newspapers in college towns when their team isn't doing well or they feel aren't up to expectations.

Yeah, sure, but show me one Article of this caliber done by the PJStar this year. And this isn't even good, it's a Q&A!
