Peoria Illinoisan

I consider myself to be a casual Bradley Basketball fan. I haven’t been to a game in years, and occasionally catch the play by play if I happen to be driving around in the car if for no other reason that to hear Dave Snell. I keep loose tabs on it in from the paper and the radio; enough to know what’s going on; enough to carry on a short conversation. I listened to most of Bradley’s valley tournament games, and had the dumb luck of being with a racaus crowd watching the NCAA tournament selection show after a round of golf. Like many people, I was absolutely GLUED to the tv for the last two games (with the volume down and the hometown radio cranked, of course). Those were some of the most dramatic and fantastic games that I’ve ever seen. On Thursday night, I’ll be glued to the TV again and my kids will once again go into hiding after wondering what demon has possessed my body. Enjoy the buzz and all the national attention. Be excited, not just for Bradley, but for all of Peoria, because this is bigger than just a basketball game, it’s a time for everyone to sit back and be proud of this silly little town of ours.
