Illini news

I know it is a Bradley board (I am also a Bradley fan

), but since it's pretty slow here I thought I'd post this link to today's article by John Supinie about Bruce Weber and the Illini.

First of all - I didn't know it was 'pretty slow' here. Pretty active for the offseason. Now maybe the Indiana State message board is pretty slow this time of year.

As for the Illini stuff... why do Illini fans think Bradley fans want to read/here about the Illini ALL THE TIME.

Not just Peoria Bradley fans come to this board. What about a Bradley fan in California. One I know I can guarantee ya doesn't give a rat's puke about the State school (for the State Bradley is in).

But gee - thanks for the link.

I think I will go back to watching my lawn grow since it is SO SLOW here.
 
Now by no means do I think we need to inundate this board with Illini news, but I think there are a decent amount of readers (including myself) who are fans of both teams. Being that this is the only message board I visit I don't mind occassionally getting Illini news as well.

I suggest you start going to a couple other boards then. Just a couple clicks won't kill ya. Cause if you are really interested in the info - you'd go to the Illini Board and/or any other board that has links to their info.

If you need help finding the links, PM me and I can do the google search for you. Heck, I would even set up a username/password for you if you needed the help.
 
Dude chill out...there is no reason to be so offensive towards everyone because you don't want to see any illini news on the board. If it offends you so much having illini news on the board then pm the administrators and have them take down all of the threads.
 
Although the board is called BradleyFans, note that the Forum is
"Basketball Fan Talk"

We welcome talk on any and all basketball topics, and we are fully aware that a lot of Bradley fans do have some interest in the Illini.
It's OK to talk Illini basketball here, as there really aren't that many other places to do so, outside the Illiniboard -- which is so traffic-jammed, that it's hard to wade through all the irrelevant topics.

Nooooooo. We musn't give in, there will be enough of them around when we play them this season. :lol:
 
Sorry egib to sound so offensive. Typed messages in emails and message boards don't allow one to gather tone of voice or facial expressions. I wasn't trying to be so offensive at all. At first, I was trying to be funny while trying to prove a point. I even thanked him for the link. I actually clicked on it and read it (well, skimmed thru it mostly). As for responding to your comments... I was just trying to help you in your quest for Illini news. I don't really mind getting a little Illini news too. (Mostly when it is bad news) But when I do want to know what is going on, I go to a couple of places (other than here) and seek out the information. I have been to the IlliniBoard to read only a couple times - but I HAVE been there, cause if I really want to know what is going on with UIUC - it WILL be there.

So now let me be offensive...

IMO... it was plain ARROGANT and IGNORANT for an Illini fan to look down at us puney little Bradley fans and suggest there is NOTHING going on here during the offseason. ARROGANT to think ONLY BCS schools have anything to talk about this time of year and IGNORANT to say it when if he actually looked at this board's activity and compared it to other Non-BCS schools, he'd know it is pretty active over here.
