For years to come - the massive failures of the Glasser/Cross/Ford era will be blamed by the PJStar on others from the distant past.
It has been the constant effort of the PJS guys to try to shore up and promote everything over the past 4-5 years as great and everything else connected with Jim Les or Ken Kavanagh as the reason for any & all failures.
Recall- as recently as 2010, Bradley had sellouts & multiple crowds of 10,000-11,000, we were just coming off four consecutive 21-22 win seasons, post-season appearances, and a generally upbeat fanbase. But we all know the PJStar guys still lusted for Wayne McClain and hated Jim Les. They attacked him endlessly and tried continuously to get him fired.
Kirk Wessler actually admits that as far back as 2004, he began a policy of endless criticism to get Les fired...

Now more of that dishonest effort to blame the filings of the Glasser/Cross era on others...
Just about everyone knows the TRUTH - that the Itoo Supper was held every single year without fail, all the way from the beginning of the Ken Kavanagh era thru the end and Ken had absolutely NOTHING to do with it being "phased out".
And yet when they wrote about Dr. Chris Reynolds, they lied & claimed it was Ken Kavanagh that "phased out" the popular Itoo Spaghetti Supper.
But it was NEVER phased out by Kavanagh - it was held every single year that he was AD/
It was even held one more time after Ken was gone - as planned by Ken in 2009 even though Ken had left Bradley and Virnette House-Browning was acting as AD.
But here's where we catch them in their lie -- the editor of the Sports department at PJStar actually said this just a few weeks before this column ran...
Here's a statement directly from Kirk Wessler stating that he KNEW it was Mike Cross that phased out & discontinued the Itoo Supper - plus Wessler even describes how OBVIOUSLY Cross also knew that this was a very popular event, and that a lot of fans still wanted it even years after it was discontinued, and that Cross was defiant and still said in effect...
"screw all of you - that doesn't matter, we will not have the Itoo event"...
It is a statement posted in June of 2015 by Kirk Wessler talking about an encounter he had with Mike Cross in the fall of 2011....
Wessler says...
".... I don't think Mike Cross ever experienced
an ITOO supper, because the first year Geno Ford
was coach (fall of 2011), they staged several
"community" events - at Hickory Grove, at Five
Points, at the Avanti's Dome, etc. - and I did a
column re the missing spaghetti supper.
Cross was asking me all kinds of questions about it,
and while I was interviewing him,
several people briefly interrupted us
at various junctures to request that the spaghetti
supper be reinstated."
So they knew all along it was Cross who phased it out but they said otherwise anyway.
