Since the chat Wednesday we've gotten several words of appreciation, a couple calls and even a thank you note ......showing gratitude for the enthusiasm of the fans and the fact that dozens of fans have this kind of fervent interest this early in the season.They really didn't have a sense of how many BU fans do follow the Braves EVERY DAY...and they were duly surprised....so be proud because they are grateful for you guys!!
Along the same vein...a couple events coming up prompt a little alert....
The Itoo Spaghetti Supper and the Soccer Tailgate are both events where the fans can intermingle with the players.

BUT-- one note of caution is issued...people who are seen as boosters of the university must avoid talking with kids who are seen as prospective recruits.
NOTE--- you can definittely interact with the current players all you want!!So just make the distinction...current players - OK...
any prospective student athletes - careful...

In case you haven't seen, we've had an influx on BradleyFans of posters who are signing up just to bash and lob attacks....it happens all the time, and the fact that the BradleyFans moderators police it pretty vigorously even makes those same few even more obsessed.
Sorry, NOT allowed, and those guys have been banned by the mods....BradleyFans, I think, allows as much or MORE dissent and opposing views as long as they are polite and stay on the topic and don't attack the other posters.
The fact that we do keep that crap off the boards is the SINGLE reason that the people at Bradley have decided to pursue chats with BradleyFans and it's members!
They see a closer relationship (like the chats) as nothing but a HUGE plus to get the word out and in the end it all becomes the equivalent of advertising, promotion, and a boost for Bradley - something they want but WE want as well!
Virtually ALL college programs distance themselves from the message boards, blogs, and fan sites, because they have no control over content and the negative aspect...
ps- the fact that "some" of the other media and fan "outlets" are so constantly negative sure didn't hurt ....
to see more about how I feel about the flamers, go to the next blog entry just below this one........
BradleyFans is a private site (privately developed, owned, and operated)..and there is no guarantee of "freedom of speech", which is the oft used rant of the common message board flamer!

Five more players booted at BU (Binghamton University...not Bradley)! -, bringing the total to six players dismissed since the issue with cocaine hit the headlines.recall, Binghamton was rocked with a scandal last year as well...

...when one of their players beat another kid into a coma then fled the country and went back to Serbia to play profession basketball and escape charges in the US.
As noted...this makes a whole bunch of Division I players suddenly free on the open market...and even though ISU's Tim Jankovich doesn't have any open scholarships... Jank was reported to have stayed up late last night making numerous phone calls.... ;)

Matt Salley just signed with a professional team....in Brazil! I am hearing that a few of the connections Bradley made down there last month paid off in getting Matt an opportunity to play pro ball!!

Anyone notice how much time ISU head coach Tim Jankovich spends in Kansas doing speaking engagements, basketball camps and clinics, and special appearances??
He spends more time doing this stuff in Kansas than he does in Bloomington, IL....so are we allowed to wonder just what job Jank might be campaigning for in the future??

SIU coach Chris Lowery's old team..the one he started his assistant coaching career at, Missouri Southern, is holding a team reunion and practically the entire team of 1999-2000 that won 30 games and finished in the elite Eight of D-II will be there, but Lowery says he has a prior engagement and won't attend.
