To all that are jumping ship..........

[afan]

I guess to retort this. When there is an ENTIRE thread entitled "Time to find a new sport to watch", to me, that is jumping ship. I understand the frustration and disappointment but I will not stop going to games nor will I rip a coach, nor will I rip a player, nor will I compare past coaches to previous coaches or even rip previous coaches. 5-4 is not a good record! I will concede that, but things have been turned around before and as I look at the roster, I do not see an empty cupboard. There is a TON of talent on this team and I can assure you that Jim Les knows this!

Sooo typical...One person starts a thread and the response is,...To ALL that are jumping ship (as though the entire city of Peoria is jumping ship). This statement is what is known as a generalization and not accurate or fair to the vast majority of fans!

Thank you......even he won't jump ship. Its just the frustration so many feel following a couple horrible collapses at home AND following to many years of the same results.

I bet JL is even frustrated...as is the team.....bet they say some crazy stuff also but they won't "jump ship" just like most of us won't.

Its very simple and it confounds me EVERY day as to why certain people get upset IF those views aren't in line with theirs.

A fanbase is made up of ALL types of people. Everyone of us has a differing views, expectations and tolerances. I'm glad everyone doesn't share MY views and I'm glad everyone doesn't share________(fill in the blank) views.

I think JL needs to do better.....others think he is doing fine. I'm going to say WHY he needs to do better and others are going to offer why he is doing so well.

We will disagree......so what.

Very much agree with you Patrick!

Who do you think you are?!?!

What makes you think you are a better fan than someone else?

How dare you!

;-) :lol:

Well Mac, at least you and I aren't going to go to our respective homes, dig out the UIUC s*** , and get on their bandwagon and say that we have been a fan of theirs since the Lou Boudreau years.! ;-):lol:

I think he addressed it exactly as he should to all who are jumping ship. He didn't say everyone was, that they weren't fans or anything like that. He simply stated who he was addressing a post to in its title. What you did was 'twist words' and that is not accurate or fair.

Been trying to find the thread about time to watch another sport and can't find it. Has it been deleted or am I over looking it? I do remember seeing it.

No running, jumping or diving....

I, personally, am tired of third rate post season tournaments and heartless performances. That is just me. I think Les cares about Bradley, but it is starting to be the same old story, year after year. Of course these fluke injuries are starting to piss me off and are not helping the cause, but you work past that. I don't think anyone should stop going to games or supporting the program. This program is going to take off when future recruits see the sports facilities and the future of the Bradley as a whole. Do I think Jim Les is the answer and will lead us to a great future?..........., NO. Right now it is pretty clear and if anyone can't see this then they are in a coma or something. Now, could he turn it around?............., YES. Will my support for Bradley ever waver?....... never and no matter who is coach. Things need to get right and real quick. There is nothing worse than mediocrity.

I tried to help you out... but I can't find it either, and I'm not sure why it would have been deleted. Did it maybe change titles?

Exactly.....maybe he was only addressing the 3,000+ that had tickets to the game and didn't bother showing up.......BEFORE the bad loss to Loyola.

Jumping ship???? I know I would not know what to do during the winters anymore with BU basketball. Frustrated yea, par for the course with me and my favorite teams of late. I do though expect a lot from this program now because I believe JL can get us there. The foundation is in place and with two more recruits we should be solid for the next few years. Then again I believe that every year from all my teams except maybe the Bears! They need a whole regime change from top to bottom.

BTW what we need in the next recruits is a pure big paint eater with attitude, IMHO.

Thanks for looking.

We have a difference of opinion, I'm not in a coma or something and J.L. is the only answer.

A lot of people point out how we were not good the first half of the 05-06 season and then some how we were lucky the second half of the season.

We were lucky only because we had J.L.

Don't say all that was because of C.B. although he did help.

The reason for any drop off after 06 was P.O.B. leaving early.
Thats my opinion.

 

[Dallas Brave]

Some might think changing coaches is not jumping ship, but repairing a ship that is floundering. I think we wait to see how the year plays out, but the situation is obviously critical.

 

[BUFAN]

I dont see why all the panic. We knew going into the season we didnt have anyone who could make a jump shot, we didnt have anyone who could rebound and anyone who could play defence. Why is all of sudden everyone complaining.

Patrick leaving caused a huge drop off, yes. I think that is the only thing we will ever agree on. Jim is a great recruiter and I support him and want him to succeed, but if anyone can say after today's game against ISU that we are going in the right direction, well please put yourself back in the coma. This can be turned around. I am not jumping ship. It all starts with coaching and there is something wrong. Lets hope they make it right.
