We miss Sammy & TB, but some good news maybe on the horizon...and lots more, incl. more records & floods caused by the global warming crew & more...

Unfortunately despite a hard fought 2nd half, Bradley drops to 0-7 in the Valley, and 6-12 overall...with almost all of those 12 losses within 8 points, and most all of them would have been a different story if we'd have had our starting PG and best rebounder, TB & Sammy.
I have a good feel, based on a few reasons, to think that by the time we get to St. Louis, we'll be a team that can compete for some wins...so hang in there Braves fans.

One BU player who was present on the bench at the Indiana State game last week -- was not present last night, leading to speculation.
I think BU might have a new commitment within the next few months.....



Here's an interesting rant I found over on one of the Illinois boards...
It's an Illinois fan saying Illinois should dump Bruce Weber and hire...
....better sit down....
and hire Wayne McClain as head coach of the Illini!!!!!
http://is.gd/kBfGPy

BUT WAIT -- it gets even better....
here are some of the things the guy says about McClain!!

-- "He has produced no less than 10 NBA players"
..OMG!!! like can you name more than ONE?? Frank Williams is the only one I know of and he turned out to be a horrible work ethic and a flop.

-- "this man knows Illinois Baskeball better than anyone alive"
....then why isn't McClain's name mentioned even once when all those great instate players are being landed at Illinois....instead it's always Jerrance Howard!

--".. his recruiting skills are excellent"
..well, he did "land" Marcus Arnold from ISU

--".. Bruce inherited Selfs boys but come-on just about any coach in D-1 could have got them to the final 4"
..hmm..then didn't McClain inherit Van Scyoc's boys and they already were state champs...Grandma Moses could have gotten them back for more titles.

Anyway -- it's an interesting scenario....Illini fans wanting to jettison Bruce Weber and hire Wayne McClain!!
Do they know they are saying all this right on the heels of conceding that Weber and staff have been great recruiters and are currently ranked!!

Now -- according to some other chatter on the Illinois boards...
..there appear to be maybe three U of I players who are not happy about playing time...
in addition to Crandall Head & Joe Bertrand, Jereme Richmond has left the team for mysterious reasons...

Here's some evidence of message board wars...
The people on Illiniboard hate the people on scout.com....and are calling some out by name!!

Some random news...
Purdue recruit injured severely...
http://is.gd/yro7TX

Lots of fans at Indiana upset that certain fans are using the "You suck" chant during free throws and at other times. A team with such a good legacy but a currently bad record should not be deteriorating into the kind of chants that made ISU famous...
http://is.gd/DcQwTP

And speaking of ranting non-stop about your team and coach...Tennessee fans are really hot about all the losses to nobodies while they were ranked and many want Bruce Pearl GONE!!
This along with the grumbling at just about every other school regardless of how well they're playing, I think shows that the grumbling comes from the types of fans we're talking about not from the performance of the team!

DePaul fans wanting to get out of the Big East -- they know they're never going to compete there!
?? So -- where they gonna go.......to the A-10??

What's up with this??? Can cloning a dinosaur be next??
These guys have been watching Jurassic Park!

Here's an editorial I find interesting....by Ted Nugent -- vocal gun owner and enthusiast...

..and he predicts more lunatics will commit even more and worse carnage..
he says we need to be prepared...but it's not because of the guns, it's because of the environment that causes wackos to act out their rage!

And notice the insignia of the liberal Washington Times...crosshairs on several states!! Where's the outrage??

But here's the best piece of the entire day -- and maybe the entire month!!
All those horrible Australian flood that are killing dozens...

It's being blamed on GLOBAL WARMING ACTIVISTS and BELIEVERS!!!
NOT on the warming itself but on the people who are politically active in regards to warming!

"Ever more alarming facts are emerging to show how
Brisbane’s floods were made infinitely worse by
cockeyed decisions inspired by the obsession of the
Australian authorities with global warming.

For years, Australia’s warmists have been advising
the authorities that the danger posed to the country
by global warming is not floods but droughts: not too
much rain but too little. One result, in Brisbane, was
a relaxation of planning rules, to allow building on
areas vulnerable to flooding in the past. "

For decades those activists have been pressuring the government to prepare for and be more worried about DROUGHT!!!

and it catches the country horribly badly prepared for floods!!
http://is.gd/H8JLFP
http://is.gd/z2SdAr

When a study showed they needed to invest in better flood prevention they instead spent years and years plus $13 billions of dollars ignoring flood concerns and instead building desalinization plants and irrigation works....
They have been done in by worrying about global warming when that wasn't the threat!



Lastly -- just for your enjoyment...the daily barrage of record low temperatures all over the world!!
Record low temperatures in northern Asia/India/Korea..

Even Miami, Sarasota...having record cold spells..

Anyone bother to watch the GOLDEN GLOBES last night...
not only did you have to put up with lame MC'ing and horrible jokes, but now there's evidence that the awards themselves were up for the highest bidder...
bribery in the Golden Globe awarding!!!
http://is.gd/nCRl2d

If corruption and scandal rules the Golden Globes, then can there be any doubt that even worse corruption rules in the world of global warming!



And lastly.......this is why it pleased me to no end that when an IRS agent audited me over three full years' worth of taxes, that in the end I was not only completely exonerated, but the IRS ended up OWING ME MONEY!!!
It's because they are more corrupt than anyone else...
