TB out for season

Sorry for TB but proud of BU for doing the right thing-lets take care of TB first. That is the only important thing. We all love BU BB but this is just way more important. I would hope the NCAA would allow him the year back provided everything proves out OK.

This is the situation-lets find out how to make the best of it this year.

I agree 100% with everything here....great post!!!
 
WOW! Bradley's string of early season bad luck continues! But in all seriousness, this was obviously a huge break for TB that this was discovered now as this obviously could have been a life threatening situation for him. Of course no amount of wins and/or championships could take the place of someone's life, and my thoughts and prayers go out to him for a full recovery.

And for once people can't blame the trainers, coaches or players for "lack of conditioning" and "poor training" in this situation (and not saying any of the prior recent injuries were caused by that either). TB was dealt a bad hand, but hopefully with the help of his doctors he will make the best of it and live a long and healthy life. And with some luck he may even play again. In the meantime, I think the team will rally behind this and still have a very solid season. But even if they don't, the health of any human being will always be more important than how a team plays a game.

We need to burn something or get rid of Les...or gosh I just really don't know...

There's a freaking hex on the BU Basketball program...

No he couldn't have prevented this but it seems like every yr something happens with this team and he can't pull them off the deck.

I knew someone would blame Les for this, even if was with tongue firmly in cheek! ;)

Maybe we should just bring in the billy goat from the Cubs and let him run around Carver Arena for awhile! :D

No college kid deserves those kind of false rumors about him. TB has messed up before, but I think he's a good kid with an enormous amount of potential. I can't imagine how bad he feels, because I know how bad I feel right now as a fan of his and the team...Get well soon TB! Hope the Braves rally around you this season!

Even if he has messed up before, this kind of thing is a life changing event. Whatever mistakes he committed before don't really matter now. All that matters is TB doing what he needs to do to get his health back on track. I hope he gets well soon too!

Agree 100% This is the way I expect my alma mater to conduct its business, even if that puts us at a competitive disadvantage aginst the win-mills in BCS conferences.

No number of wins could outweigh the loss of a young life, or even a SMALL RISK of such a loss. I'm proud to be a Bradley alum tonight, and I hope (but doubt) that all D-I institutions would follow Bradley's example. In fact, if sports media outlets had their priorities in order, this would be a huge (positive) story.

I know this is terrible for TB, but it's one of the most refreshing developments I've seen in a long time in college athletics.

Well there went Les' season...

Over before it even began...


So without Taylor is it looking like 6th or worse?

Gloom and doom maybe but I have very low expectations now

A real downer to start the year

What does Coach Les's season have to do with it? The young man has a serious health problem and getting that straightened out is the main thing.
 
When did we become the Chicago Cubs? Have you ever seen such bad luck with a program? Honestly? I don't have words right now, I really don't.
 
There is NO way the NCAA wouldn't grant TB an extra year of eligibility with an issue such as this one. Get well and God bless, TB. Look forward to having you on the court for two more years.

Well said Chico but it seems that for some people they can't see the good that comes from bad things. I am like most on the board that are thankful that this was discovered before the season began and not during the season-especially on the court-how would people feel then.

Get well TB and good luck.
