Just give him the silent treatment. I couldn't applaud.

That's a real shame to hear, I hope you won't be there tomorrow night then. I'm going to cheer for Daniel because of all he has done for the basketball program. He is one of BU's all-time greats and I belive he is innocent until proven guilty. He deserves a standing ovation.
 
I will not be at the game but I think you should consider what he has accomplished and given to the program throughout his 4 years as a Bradley Basketball player. He deserves everyones respect in accordance to his accomplishments on the court as a player.

If you do not feel he is worthy of your applause then maybe it would be best to not attend or sit silently, but to boo him due to your judgement of guilt or innocence in an issue away from the court is not fair to Ruffin or for that matter the Bradley program.
 
Let's keep it civil everyone.

There is logic to both sides of the argument.

personally i think we should remember the good.
but if a person thinks that this gets in the way of the good stuff Ruff did, then that's what they're going to do.
 
I figure if the University lets him come to Senior Night, then we should cheer. Because to be honest they know WAY more than we probably ever will.

I will be disappointed if I hear Boos
 
I won't be, but wish I could be. I guess I should have noted I could applaud if he is cleared and it would be nice if he was, but if he is guilty look what shame he has done to the program.
 
I am going to be thier tomorrow and I am going to stand and clap. Having no first hand knowledge of what happend, I am going to trust our President, athletic director and coach. If they feel he should be thier than he deserves our applause and thanks for a great career at BU.
 
I will cheer for him. I think Senior Night is more based on Academic and Athletic Achievements, and not as much what you do outside of that. There is no doubt that Daniel has made great strides academically, and what he has done for our team athletically is outstanding.

I agree 100%, and that's all the more reason why they should let him play if they're going to let him be honored.

Ok ER, you made me curious on this one. Going along with your devil's advocate theory, why would BU publicly announce that Ruff would practice with the team?

Good question...can't come up with a devil's advocate theory on that one.
I agree fully that it would seem odd to reinstate Ruff to practice with the team if they had no intention of reinstating him to game play...

Yeah, it would almost seem counterproductive to have him practice if he's not going to be reinstated to play. It would make more sense to get more work in for the other players.

Strange indeed...

I don't think it's an indication that he'll be reinstated. It just keeps open the possibility that he can be reinstated.

I agree... BU is getting all the facts together from all sides before they make a decision. This buys the administration more time and still allows Ruffin to be honored on Senior night. I also think this can silence some of the critics out there by having Ruffin sit out a meaningful game and not count the game he sat out while in jail as a suspended game.

I havent posted much on this as I want to see the facts. That being said, my gut instinct tells me that Ruffin will be cleared of the charges brought against him. Now I'll go back to reading more posts.
