[AB99]

Does Loyola have a message board and do you have a link?

Does Loyola have a message board and do you have a link?

Yes, I am surprised someone hasn't posted it.

Loyola message board:
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1

I am somewhat surprised when I look at this fan site/message board, as it is fairly active with 10-12 new topics added every day, except that it seem to be cluttered with discussion on all kinds of topics from Capitol punishment to political stuff.
I really cannot find even one actual basketball discussion unless you go back four days to this:
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6446.topic

...and none regarding the upcoming game with BU, even though the posters names (whitesellisgood, Rambler63, callitbothways, etc) suggest they are basketball fans.
They do have one mention of BU back on 11/23 with a single post noting the suspension of two BU players:
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6439.topic

Check it out, but I'll suspect you'll agree it's a terrible site if you're looking for discussion on Loyola basketball.

Wow, I checked out that Loyola message board, and it is easily the worst excuse for a basketball fan site I have ever seen. Compared with Bradleyfans.com, the difference is staggering. Evety thread is just a few "people" calling others names and making political rants or nonsensical statements. I couldn't find one single discussion with even the tiniest bit of useful information about Loyola, or anything related to their team, schedule, games, etc. I also could not find a single poster who posted a link to inform, or to substantiate an opinion.

I know I am an information freak, but maybe just once they could try to post something intelligent or useful.

I agree BU fan, although what we find as the Evansville site also kinda sux, and the link one of the posters gave several days ago for the Chicago State message board takes you to one that's maybe even worse than the Loyola message board, if that's possible.

You actually have to go back to August of '03 to find an intelligent post about sports.

Not only do they have a crappy website, their athletic department seems to have very little interest in selling any tickets for the game. I will have a group of over 20 people coming with me (probably the biggest bulk sale they've ever had), and the ticket office doesn't seem to want to sell me tickets very badly, as they refuse to return my calls.

 

[BU fan]

Hey, BB, I called them last week about tickets and said they had no way to sell tickets over the phone!!! They must be stuck in the 1950's. But they told me to talk to the Bradley ticket office because they set aside 800 tickets behind the Bradley bench and sent them down to Peoria.

Sure enough, I checked with the BU ticket office and they had about 800 tickets left! And they were discounted because of some special Group Deal. They were only $8.00 each. So, if you still need tickets, I would suggest calling them and find out who now has them and where you could meet them before they turn them back in to the Loyola people.

I just talked to the BU ticket office, and they can't sell over the phone either. I will just have to make other arrangements. Oh well. My group will get their tickets one way or the other!

BU fan-

This discussion forces the obvious,
that many of us posters are very impressed and thankful for the Bradleyfans board.

Just wanted to say thanks, and show appreciation for one of the better and more informative fan boards around.

There is finally a discussion going on the Loyola board about tonight's game.
If you want to read what the posters are saying, here's the link:
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6487.topic
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6488.topic

Also, a second thread does kinda make some fun of Peoria, so I guess they do have a couple of juveniles posting:
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6489.topic

and lastly, one of their few posters has read the Bradleyfans thread on the game and they've started a discussion about what we are saying about their board.
http://p206.ezboard.com/framblermaniafrm1.showMessage?topicID=6478.topic

The one poster who seems to do roughly half of all the posting on their board is a guy named "BigJoe1963" whose profile contains more than anyone would ever want to know about anyone, describing all his heroics in the third person:
http://p206.ezboard.com/bramblermania.showUserPublicProfile?gid=bigjoe1963

And he appears as though he might be the moderator of the board, but certainly is one of the only active posters with more than a handful of posts.
I think I can detect a little bit of message board-envy in their comments.
