Go BU - get a win vs. Creighton!

Tonight is a great chance for the Braves to snap out of the losing streak and surprise everyone who expects Bradley to lose to Creighton -- I'll be there cheering them on but I see now a few loser fans and some in the media are turning on Bradley.
it's sad - because most of the worst critics are the very ones who wanted to make the changes last spring that got us here -- they are the REAL cause of the current struggles!

Wasn't this predicted?? Didn't a few observant people say the fallout would be way more severe than most expected?
And yet I see people arguing on message boards that this isn't so bad and that lots of other coaches who took over programs in the Valley recently have done no better...
Well - again the facts make fools of those folks - just check the numbers - Bradley is currently doing as badly and are on course to to even WORSE than any other Valley team in the past two decades in their first season under a new coach!
Sorry - but read it and weep -- we are hurting despite that I and the best Bradley fans are still still 100% behind this team!

Didn't the most faithful and knowledgeable fans point out that we were headed from bad to worse and might even be worse than just about anyone imagined?
(Even tho we have the talent to do better!)

Not only were some of the player and recruit departures foreseen - plus the HUGE dropoff in attendance that's worse than all but a tiny few had imagined (LINK), but the poor play as the players try to adjust to a completely new system and set of coaches?
All of this was precisely predicted by some - so maybe those who laughed at those predictions should shut the h*** up and accept that they've been schooled when it comes to knowing how these things work.
Weren't even the media attacks on players, the endless weak efforts to blame this all on Jim Les as we approach a year since he was fired, and even the insane efforts that some fans make to even blame other fans - especially the good ones who are still faithful -- all this was FULLY PREDICTED!

Well - it keeps rolling -- Bradley is not playing well but true Braves fans are still there pulling for them...I am but I sure don't see th epudest of the loudmouths and bashers..they're in hiding (perhaps they know just who is responsible for their misery).

But the pretenders are lashing out in full force...and knowing that Coach Les isn't here any more it's getting harder and harder to keep a straight face when they bash JL for whatever they see wrong currently.
So now... the bashers are going after the players --

If you look ahead you will see that we might lose the next several games as well so even more fans will turn "Salukitalk" on the players - let's see -- it really says a lot about a so-called "fan" when they immaturely rip on he kids when there are numerous factors out of their control at play here.

BTW -- anyone else remember the 11-game losing streak of last year?
Dave Reynolds wrote about it almost daily and reminded fans endlessly as if it was the worst thing that could ever or has ever happened to Bradley basketball.
(BTW - we broke that streak last year against Creighton - so let's git-R-done)

If you read the sentiments of those OTOB they are viciously unloading on the entire team and all its components. But then if fans like that bail and boycott - is it really a boycott or a healing?

also - I note KW is beginning to get a bit more vicious as well - more and more direct insults and attacks on BU's players....
but aren't hey just doing what they just pieces in a larger puzzle?

I know winning will evaporate a lot of this...but some fan behavior is pretty embarrassing for the university - but it's not the only thing that's causing Bradley to be embarrassd on a national stage right now...
