Go Pegs! Too bad he had to apologize (probably requested by his bosses), because it was funny and apropos.

BU Fan,
That’s just it. Bradley shouldn’t be playing. The risks are too great and the rewards too little. Even if they win this shit tournament, all that says is that they might be the 130th best team in the country. Nothing like getting recognition for mediocrity. I bet the guys that organized the tournament used to get rewarded for D’s on their report card.

At least BU is still playing. This tourney is it’s first year and the field they chose was pretty diverse. BU looked fairly good against a young Cinn. team. They should also win on Monday.

One reason for the low turn-out was it was a 6PM game (very early) and many people didn;t even hear about it.

We’ll see if BU actaully puts up a list of their “CBI” tourney appearances on the wall next to their NIT and NCAA tourney years.

For about five seconds there, I had some respect for Pegler.

Once, just once, I want to see someone have the guts to say that a joke is just that, a JOKE, and refuse to apologize.

But BU fans like their sports journalist to be complete ass kissers like Dave Snell. So Pegler had to grovel to appease them.

And BU would totally kick ass at the Galesburg Invitational. Maybe.

I don’t doubt that. When I heard they were giving away 2 for 1 tickets, I figured didn’t draw much of a crowd to the first game.

PI- from the turnout (only 5114 compared to 9-10K for most home games) many people agree with Kurt

Playing in CBI is just plain stupid. The risk of a player getting injured far outweighs any sense of misplaced pride that might come from winning such an inconsequential tournament.
