A few ALL TIME Records from the past 4-5 years

Just a few things from the JG/Mike Cross/Geno Ford era at Bradley that teams for generations to come will have to aim at to get in the record books.

- Worst single season record ever 7-25 in 2011-12
- Most losses ever in one season 25
- Worst 4-year record ever
- Most consecutive Thursday night appearances
- Worst coaching career record at Bradley
- Fewest wins in a season (modern era since the depression)
- Most 20-loss seasons in a row
- Worst home attendance average since moving from Armory (and maybe even before)
- Worst attendance ever for any game on our own home court - possible since the 1920's!
...home vs. Green Bay 3/20/13 - 1801
- Worst dropoff in attendance over 1-year, 3-year, and 4-year spans
- Longest stretch of any coach NOT having a single one of his own players make All-Conference or go on to play pro ball.
- Biggest single year dropoff in donations ever
- Most losses in any single 4-year span in Bradley's history
- and we haven't even gotten into the most histori housecleaning, most personnel cleaned out all at once and player turnover...
- Then we can talk about worst single season MVC Baseball record ever (only 2 wins)
- Worst Volleyball record 2-26
- and it even went all the way to the worst campus-wide financial mess & crisis and worst dropoff in enrollment - but then we have people who still think that this past 4-5 years was the best era they have seen at Bradley, hmmmm.  Gotta wonder about their mental health.

Well, thankfully, the smart fans saw all this coming years ago - and cried out in the form of letters to the editor, calls and e mails to the Board members (who were pretty slow to respond until the disaster reached historic proportions and fans cancelled season tickets by the thousands), plus open conversations, phone calls, and loud & clear posts on the message board that we now know all the admin & Board members actually read on a regular basis.
Thank you to those great fans who helped with a tidal wave of energy to get this ship going in the right direction despite the clueless, squeaky-wheel fans who wanted to keep going with the status quo.
Can't imagine another year with that same mess we had - not to mention with four years head start, we were sitting in the spring of 2015 without a single recruit signed, not a single recruit pledged, not even a single recruit even interested - so ZERO help on the way for the team that was far & away the worst team in the Valley the past four years - with the only bright spots being the players Jim Les left behind.
So the crew that sunk us to the worst point in the history of Bradley Athletics is...
STRAIGHT OUTTA PEORIA and now long gone...and a new, young, enthusiastic bunch that are widely appealing and favored by the fans are in place and things are looking far brighter right away.
The first sign was the massive showing of over 1,200 for an off-season midweek luncheon that drew more people than were actually at some of our recent home games (not the phony attendance figures meant to help out the Geno/PJS guys who tried in vain to hype and sell a sinking ship as "light years better", "deeper and better talent than we've had in decades - even since the Mitchell Anderson/Donald Reese era", and "difference-makers & go-to guys, and "best ever recruiting classes").
The effort goes on by the locals to try to rewrite history to hide the failures on this recent, fired administration and crew - but sadly they will have to live with all these ALL TIME Records for quite some time to come.
