How Good Is Wofford?

[SaintLouBrave22]

SaintLouBrave22 - I brought ISU (red) into the picture because that is one subject MOST of us can agree on! A mutual distaste can bring people together and I was trying to inspire some love. I guess what you are saying is that you like those guys up I-74???? Sorry I do not give a rats @ss about them! I'll throw them under the bus every time for the sake of peace between brothers on this site.:razz:

No, I don't like them at all...


I was just making a point in reference to what was being discussed by a few in the thread...


I'm highly against them, but being a member of the bar, I had to find a reason to establish both sides there...


They have built a valid case really...



Then again, they haven't had a Sweet 16 run either....



Can I just say this....I NEED a tournament championship...thats what I need!


Then I will gladly shut up for a long while.

I have edited my post on this subject. I am sorry to have offended so many great posters on this board with my thoughtless, insensitive and hurtful comments. I guess I just got caught up in the heat of the moment; I sometimes take my Bradley basketball way too seriously.

Please accept my heartfelt apologies.

I didn't take it to heart...I didn't graduate from BU but I've spent enough money over the years on BU to put 3 kids through there.

If we try to play our unathletic bigs we will probably suffer the same fate as Pitt (almost) and Georgia. Small ball will win this game (and I know OoB and the "big" boys aren't gonna like it)

I am a proud to be a "big" boy....

Question,
If small ball should win against a small team, when will big ball win? :?:

Confused
I'm a little fuzzy about your comment about BU's "unathletic bigs" ... Weren't we all told by BU staff how good SS, AT, WE, and MK are and that they will help BU get back to the top? I thought AT was called the best big JL has had.

Who recruits unathletic bigs anyway? How does BU miss on all the athletic bigs who have shredded our bigs, and I am not talking about the bigs on BCS teams BU has played...

Will BU's 'unathletic bigs' be any more athletic next year? The year after? Or are we in for 3 and 4 G offense until BU figures out a way to recruit athletic bigs?

I believe if Wofford shows up on ISU's shedule, some (Tornado) might make fun of it but others would point out how good Wofford could actually be.

seriously, I just re-read this whole thread....

Maybe some of you guys don't recall, but back in July and August, there was an awful lot of moaning about Bradley getting Wofford....people used terms like cupcake, worthless, joke, etc...
Seemed there were quite a few posters who thought it was bad to have Wofford on the schedule because of how weak they were...

Now-- we have a nearly 6 page thread moaning and whining about having Wofford on the schedule BUT--
for a completely, 100% different reason....now everyone is worried that Wofford is too tough and that they'll beat BU!!

geez...is this the epitome of manic-schizophrenic??
How can you have such widely differening phobias?? First they're too weak, they'll hurt our RPI, then they're too tough, they are too strong for us and they'll beat us!!
Can anyone else see the bizarre tendency we see so often of certain unstable fans finding something to get hysterical about every single day?
Maybe we should hire counsellors and have a separate forum to discuss psychiatric issues related to Bradley?

We're fans T... We're fans... That explains pretty much everything. As objective and clairvoyant as we pretend to be, our opinion of a player, game, season, or coach can change on a missed free throw... Or so it seems...

We're talking about Wofford just like BCS fans would talk about Bradley.

Initially it would not seem to be as strong as another BCS opponent, and is not a name to draw big fan interest, but you then realize that they are a quality team, they might beat you and you wonder why you took the risk scheduling a no-name loss.

..then you wonder why it is hard for Bradley to get great schedule, we're on the other side of the fence now...

 

[real fan]

Wofford is a good team but would most likely finish 5th or lower in the Valley, if we cannot beat a decent team at home then we are in for a long year.
I say with Taylor Brown back our inside scoring and rebounding becomes a lot better.
Bradley 79
Wofford 67

right on rf-- as a BU fan I welcome a tough home opponent and I believe our guys can win

I'd say this is probably a good prediction for the game.

Funny thing we usually finish around 5th and are picked to finish lower....

Finishing 5th or lower this season would not be a funny thing, I think all of us are expecting to see this program at least contend for a top 3 finish, you can"t keep finishing in the middle of the pack and expect to get 3 or possibly a 4 star recruit.

Wofford is one of those teams that is a decent team that people don't recognize....I'm anxious to see this game. They obviously can play to compete with Pittsburgh like that.

Question is would you rather play a low level BCS or another quality mid like BU......or a team like Wofford?

Depends on you perspective. I'll say low-level BCS, because it gets us more with a win, and hurts us less with a loss.
