I think everybody knows where I stand with this admin.... With that said - I trust Mike Cross. I'm impressed with him and think we will make a GREAT university president some day. I also feel he had NO idea what he was signing up for with this job.... He is now understanding why he was brought in and hopefully is looking for another job with the private search firm. Mike Cross is not the problem here. He is just taking a bullet like the secret service does for the President.

Another excellent post! Very much agree!
 
The paper doesn't just cater to the rabid message board fan who sees every rumor posted ever. It caters to the more casual fan.

People criticizing the paper sometimes don't realize the true audience they're writing for. They're not necessarily writing for us, because we are all connected in a way. The paper reaches the fans who don't reach places like this message board.

And when they do post rumor, we rip 'em up for it.
 
I'm getting the feeling that no matter what the local newspaper publishes, it will never be good in some people's eyes. Oh wait, that's because it's true. :lol:

I agree , when is the board going to put a stop to all of this nonsense as so many great Bradley people have been run off because of one person.

If the secret service's job is to take the bullet, then what's wrong with that?

But what is really wrong with this statement as it applies to the bradley situation, is that it implies everyone else is has all the right answers and the pres doesn't. Which I do not agree with. Just stating my opinion.

No. Nobody here claims to have all the answers. But we are entitled to opinions. The PJS is not always right, they are not immune from criticism, and they are not so elite to be the only ones entitled to have an opinion, though some might think so.

my criticism is simple...
when the Athletic Director was fired...

Honest question here...I thought KK left of his own volition. Is that not the case? He interviewed for the FGCU job and upon accepting was going to honor his contract with BU through the end of May.

His now former employer decided they'd rather just part ways and from my recollection it was mutual.

Did I miss something?
 
He was informed his contract at Bradley would not be renewed, and thus he sought the other job. I guess it could be seen as "firing", or not depending on how you look at it.
 
Won't panic until the 15-30 day window post JL has expired. 74% of those responding to an earlier poll question felt it would take more than 15 days to name a replacement.

Potential coaching candidates may be intimidated by the strong personalities on this Forum and don't want to face their music if they don't meet their expectations once on the job! This Forum is way tougher than the PJS :lol:

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. This statement is so true. Remember that some of the changes changes were made during the MONTHS we went without an Athletic Director. Or when she made KK a lame duck.

I agree that, if given a real chance, Cross has the potential to do good things at Bradley. I also agree that he may not have known what was ahead of him when he came here. However if he we end up going through as many AD's as Eastern Kentucky had to.... that would be bad.

I learned a long time ago to use IMO. I know from past personal experience about the Urinal Star's truthfulness.

This forum is tougher because most of us are real Bradley fans.
 
I don't know anything about the inner workings of anything, but I hope they make a good hire. Everyone is watching.

And I believe in there is an implied guarantee of a conference championship with the next coach?
