A player changes schools for ANY reason and he's going to be ripped by the fans of the school he departed. Unfortunately that is the world of sports, especially in the internet era.

Danny Granger. Did any of us ever rip Danny?

Then that's even worse. They made a terrible mistake.

I agree...they signed Justin Clark and then dropped interest in DSE...Clark did very little for them, and won't be a starter this year either--and DSE was outstanding as a freshman, and has a HUGE upside for us. WE WIN:wink:

Yes, and I'll continue to rip danny. He left his teammates and the loyal fans of Bradley down by leaving in the middle of the season. That's the difference with me.

Have at it. Danny has done just fine for himself so I'm sure he won't mind. That wasn't the point, however.

I'm all about results, and ISU beat us twice last year. So we may have won the DSE battle, but right now they are winning the war. Nothing will change that till we meet them on the court again.

I get so tired of declaring "victories" or "losses" in things other than on the court results. Winning or losing recruiting wars only matter as it relates to performance on the court.

I guess it does help to pass the time between seasons though :-D

Many loyal players have done quite well for themselves also and I don't really care if he minds or not what I think of him. I don't rip danny unless someone else brings him up. The point was players leaving or not living up to their committment. To leave a program in the middle of the season like he did is a different story.

I couldn't agree more 42...I was referring to the "win" in getting DSE to attend BU...we won that battle--but lost the war last year We need to get revenge this year and sweep them back!

And don't forget that he called his coach a racist and tried to ruin a life and a program.

BSSF, the above, truer words could never describe Danny Granger better:!: Not sure if you was around when DG was here. But thats just how he was his entire short time at BU:!: Danny Granger brought a lot of BS to Bradley Basketball and their good fans:!: And the way he left, was BS too:!: He did nothing for the program while here but disrupt and cause BIG problems:!: His actions while here, plus his departure was/is a dishonor to the BU BB program, its fans and all the good players who ever put on the Red and White uniform of BU:!: Sorry friend but those are my opinions and I am sure a lot of other BU fans to:!:
I do under stand your point but wise you had not brought him into it:!:;-)

Don't forget he wouldn't come on the court for our National Athem. Don't know if he still does that but I wonder if he misses team transportation now.

Post respectfully acknowledged. And I think you probably see my point that no matter what the circumstances, aren't we better off as a fan base to take the high road and let the others look like the tool?

I think most Illinois fans were embarrassed by the minority who hurled immature insults (and 9-volts) at the Gordon family during their 1 game played at Champaign. I just hope our fan base has the class not to do anything horribly wrong.

Classy, witty chants accepted.

I don't think that I can say anything good or bad about John Wilkins. So I guess I just can't wait until Will dunks on him 3 or 4 times. HARD!
