IB gives BU props

Lots of really nice compliments about BU on both the free and premium Illinois boards...

"Good for Bradley! Heck, if you play in the tournament you might as well win it."

"Here's hoping the whole state is behind the Braves. GO BRADLEY!!!"

"That's great for Bradley.
If my history is correct they've played in the NIT and NCAA finals, and now onto the CBI finals. That's historic, if I'm right.
So they've got at least two more games to play this season too."

"Really fun to watch a TEAM play. Great passing, driving, and shooting. Talk about players improving over their career, my vote goes to Jeremy Crouch of BU. Came in as a 3pt shooter, has become much better at everything.
I have been a BU and Illini fan for many years and the Braves have been fun to watch the last few years. Jim Les is doing a great job there."

"it was just a couple of years ago that people were talking about firing Coach Les. He was considered a great recruiter who was out of his league as a coach. Then, he hired Chuck Beuscher as an assistant for a year or two, apparently picked up a lot of pointers, especially on defense, and now, hopefully, is set for a long successful career.

I've been a BU fan all of my life, growing up in Peoria. Loved the teams with Seymour Reed and the epic battles with Louisville in the MVC. Joe Stowell is still my vision of the ultimate leader/coach."

"Bradley looked great. It was especially impressive because they played on the road. They turn the ball over very infrequently and they are a great free throw shooting team. That's a pretty good winning formula. Much of the year they had injury problems. They're at full strength now and they are a pretty good and well coached team."

"Go Braves! I love to see the ACC go down. I hope Billy Packer was watching.
I like Jim Les. Recruiting is tough."

"Les has done a pretty fair job the last couple years
He recruits well. "
 
As an Illini fan that also cheers on Bradley, I can echo those sentiments. It's great to see the team clicking at the end of the season, and Bradley is certainly fun to watch with their great ball movement and shooting. Here's to hoping Bradley will be at or near the top of the Valley for many years to come.
 
As a Bradley fan that doesn't care for the Illini .....

Nice to hear those positive comments. Thanks. We deserve it.

Way to make sure you always give U of I the cold shoulder! ;)

Really though I enjoy rooting for both teams (though I love BU far more), it's good to see them rooting for us but I feel its like, ;oh that cute little puppy caught a bug', kind of support. It seems like they don't see us as a real team.
 
For the record, I usually hate IB just because the people aren't nearly as friendly as the ones on this board. However, notice the number of fans over there who are BOTH BU and Illini fans. And lots of nice comments.

Good for them.

We have planty of Two-fers over here.

But that doesn't mean all the sudden Bradley-only fans should start rooting for UIUC.

Maybe at least lose some of the undeserving hostility? A lot of people hate them almost as much as I hate IU.
 
This is a Bradley board for me.....both the I's do not exist in my world and I hate seeing them get space on this site! :mrgreen:

Exactly Big Mike.

This is a Bradley board.

If someone is lookin' for "equal time" or "more objectivity", go to another site (and maybe try asking the same of them).

Think of BradleyFans.com like Conservative Talk Radio... you don't like it or don't agree with it... then tune it out, don't read, don't post.... or, just pick up a New York Times.
 
I'm with ya on the conservatism anyway, Mac! You could compare your analogy to my own personal view on America: If you don't like it, feel free to leave ;).

Thanks IlliB.

I hope you know I don't dislike you - in fact, I like you quite a bit.

Just don't expect me to get lovey-dovey for UIUC after I have had about 30 years of O&B Fans talking down to me.

Btw - my bracket is done. You know how I feel for X.

Yeah, I feel you, man. I like everyone on this board.

I'm doubly screwed. I went from first place in my pools to losing both games tonight. I felt really bad tonight for both Lavender and Padgett. Both of those guys are the heart and soul of their teams and to see them lose like that was sad. UL had a chance, but too many turnovers and too much Hansbrough, although he got away with just about every call in the book on defense.
