Bradley's now 3-1

It was a winnable game last night but Bradley's lack of depth showed...no consistent shooters, and needing to use deep bench players and walk-ons...
But -- what did anyone expect....they were warned of the fallout and yet we still see some who must not have gotten the memo - laughing and mocking as if there is no fallout...
We are missing at least 3 solid players who would be helping us a bunch - SM, RA, and SH...but even an idiot can't miss that the attendances of only about 7000 are far, far below what we have seen at this point in every regular season since we moved to the Civic Center...
Even last year - when people were unhappy, there were complaints about attendance being down, and Bradley was losing - we drew over 8000 for a home game just before Thanksgiving.

And wonder of wonders.....Geno Ford loses one game and the same, chronically unhappy segment of BU's "fan base" is filled with rips and complaints...even to the point of turning on each other, calling each other names, and acting like children having tantrums.
But then what's to be expected - the name calling and infantile personal attacks are routine.

Did anyone think we'd go undefeated? Is 3-1 at this point in the season so far from what anyone would have thought we'd be?
We lost to a team where their guy was launching distant, fall-away shots that any other time would have been labelled ridiculous -- but they happened to go in.
Sometimes that happens...I am still happy our guys kept fighting and playing hard.
But then, I guess that's what clearly shows that I am a fan, I support the team, and I don't think just of myself and how I could have done it better, as some so-called fans rant.

Like it not, this loss is part of the fallout of making so many abrupt changes that we don't have the depth, the players, and have NOT had the time for Geno to get out on the recruiting trail and haul them in. His recruiting in the short time he's been here is as good as can be envisioned...but how can anyone see that Geno is hampered by the situation -- the fallout of the sudden changes.

And we are going to be big underdogs against Wisconsin - but it would not surprise me if we play them closer than UMKC did since we have better athletes.
Regardless - I am stumped as to how 4 games into the season we can have "fans" throwing Geno and his players under the bus already except that such is the character of the very people claiming to be fans but who seem to attack at every opportunity as if filled with intense bitterness...immaturely seeking someone to blame at every opportunity.
But then..given the past record of fans attacking every previous coach ...does it surprise that they're at it again already?



Here's a very interesting story developing around the sexual perversion issues at Syracuse involving one of the Syracuse basketball assistants..
Seems like the local police department is hindering the District Attorney's efforts to investigate...
so what's the deal? Do the police have some vested interest in protecting the Syracuse program and the perverts in it?

News alert for those who ragged on Wisconsin-Parkside and claimed they were a bad team because someone thought they would be last in their league..
They have NOT lost yet...they are 4-0 with an average margin of victory of 18 points and a couple of their vanquished foes are getting votes in the polls!
(Plus they almost beat UW-Milwaukee in their other exhibition!)

So how about Bradley's other exhibition opponent...
Well...Wooster hasn't lost yet either --
since the exhibition game at Bradley, they have won two straight averaging a 20 pt margin of victory!!



Lastly -- have to give a B- grade to Quick Change. I have now seen them at least 5 times as the halftime act and not only have they NOT changed or added to their act over the past 3-4 years...but I don't even think they are as good or smooth in performing it.
I still enjoyed them but several times we saw the other colored glove sticking out of the top hat and have to be cleverly pushed back in by the man, and we also saw the dress completely unfold from top to bottom one time when the covering that was meant to hide it from view failed.
Also - the corny fake flowers from the bottles and other hiding places are not even amateur-level trickery and need to be upgraded.
As for the guy on the message board who claims they accomplish their trick with some kind of high-tech fabric that changes color via electronic gadgetry -- take a hike -- that's not even the least bit plausible.



Getting back to the perversion/sports stories -- this should never be about sports or football or basketball...
this ought to be about finding, identifying, and nailing any and every pervert or predator in this or any other endeavor and keeping them away from kids.
This kind of story where Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim is unconditionally supporting his assistant even if there's solid evidence that the guy is a pervert and preying on kids -- this is sickening.

This kind of absolute crap reminds me of all the time after horrific murders - like the Caylee Anthony case, like the John Wayne Gacy case, like the mothers who drove their kids into a lake or drowned them in the tub, like the Columbine murderers or the Gabby Giffords shooter, like filthy-minded perverts in any profession who prey upon innocent kids....
and how right after the horrible facts and details of the crimes are revealed someone always comes forward and says...
"oh but he's (or she's) such a sweet person and I can't imagine anything like this happening" or "it can't be - I have never seen that side to him (or her)...
I guess it only shows a degree of stupidity that I cannot fathom.
Sadly - I think there's more of this to come - since everyone in the media, in Hollywood, and elsewhere preaches that "anything goes"...and that all forms of lusts and perversions aren't really bad at all.......this same kind of perverted stuff is the makeup of jokes and skits on Saturday Night Live -- like it's harmless and no big deal...
