We all saw it coming - except some chose to deny it and continue to praise the Glasser/Cross/Ford-triumverate that sunk Bradley to the worst and most disastrous levels in all of history.Not just bad basketball - and I mean sickeningly bad basketball - but horribly bad, losing teams in virtually every other sport that matters...and that doesn't even touch on the financial mess bordering on corruption and mismanagement of funds that also has gone unreported except for the few on message boards who have made this crap known....
WBB, VB, and especially MBB & others all having their historically worst seasons and worst success/offense/defense/blowouts/etc.... ever - all the while the PJStar and their lapdog writers who had their noses up JG's hiney hoping for a cushy teaching job post-journalism retirement - plus a few clueless fans who denied the horrible fallout from the Joanne Glasser moves & actions - simply never got it...
They never actually saw how bad Bradley had become - plus even nearly bankrupt - losing fans by the multiple thousands ..all happening right before their eyes in unprecedented fashion.
Their hate for Jim Les consumed them and drove their shallow minds into praising anything that came after JL's firing because to do otherwise might hint at how horribly wrong they were and how destructive their moves and actions were. They continue to this day to try to rewrite the fact and history and try with futility to blame JL when it was JG, MC, and GF plus their enablers who were and ARE 100% responsible for the mess & fallout.
But even worse - those PJS folks and the clueless fans who asked & begged for all this to happen were actually the ones who drove the hapless leaders at BU into making untold bad decisions....they caused all this disaster we've had to suffer through the past 4-5 years.
Many of those clueless fans are gone now, but some still hang around refusing to admit how horribly wrong they were in wanting these changes - but their idols - JG, MC, and GF are all gone now -
fired, canned, sent packing, house cleaned.
And it couldn't have happened sooner - we were on the brink of irreversible disaster with home crowds in the 2000-3000 range. Remember - just as recently as the final Jim Les season we had multiple home crowds over 10,000 and sellouts!
Free at last.....and headed in the right direction...
only a little more than a month into the new, Chris Reynolds/Brian Wardle era and the spirit, optimism, and energy is soooo different - noticably different --
thousands showing up for the intro ceremony and thousands MORE trying to book spots for the upcoming off-season banquet.
Did you know....not once in the entire 5-year Michael Cross era did we ever have even ONE SINGLE post-season banquet - NEVER!
Plus he destroyed the ITOO supper, BU tailgate, and half a dozen other favorite fan events...
History will show forever the failed JG/MC/GF era as the worst period in all of Bradley Braves Athletics. Someone has to document it because those in charge at BU never will ...
Like a San Francisco earthquake - horribly destructive and needed enormous rebuild - but a platform to show the greatness that is Bradley and the Braves' fan base.
Go Braves!!
