The BradleyFans Chat with Coach Jim Les

The chat session last evening with Bradley head coach Jim Les went extremely well....
there were 46 people who signed up and joined the chat room, and most discussed and asked questions.

here is the text replay of all the questions and answers..........

I had been told there were people posting on other message boards that they were going to try to sneak in and disrupt things, and we had our "security" in place, but it didn't happen. Those who just like to take swipes and attack Bradley and its fan base over on the rapidly failing "so-called Valley" board (I won't even give you the name of the board because it is dying so fast that any extra traffic they might get from a link here would probably double it's activity)...are pretty funny. But they are all pitiful little talkers only, and just jealous of the success of the Bradley fan base.

Again, thanks to all the great fans of Bradley for their active involvement. We are told that the folks at BU, including their fine coaching staff and athletic department also greatly enjoyed the opportunity to do the chat. They realize that a LARGE number of the most enthusiastic and informed Bradley fans hang around on BradleyFans.com all the time. they even vocalize their appreciation and credit BradleyFans for some of the rapidly growing aspects of the fan base. they are clearly thankful the Braves have such an informative and supportive fan site. Very few teams do and most schools will distance themselves MILES from their message boards because of the hostile stuuf emanating from them and the inability ot control or predict the nture of the posts and responses from the fans. But Bradley's fans are some of the most civil, courteous, and unwaveringly supportive that you'll ever find.

I am proud to be a fan of such a great school and coaching staff!
