Introducing Bradley & MVC Thoughts

Basketball season has arrived. For fans like me, the biggest lull of the sports season is the wait from the end of the Major League Baseball season to when college basketball begins. Some years that gap is smaller than others depending on whether or not your team makes the playoffs.

But even if you're a Phillies fan, there still is going to be a two-week gap until you can start seeing regular season games for your favorite team. Speaking of favorite teams, let me make it clear that I'm a Bradley basketball fan. I follow them closer than any other team in the Missouri Valley Conference (or the country). I'm a proud alum and will always follow the Braves (or whatever nickname the school will inevitably change the name to someday - but that's a discussion for a different day).

All that being said, I'm not a so-called "Kool-Aid" drinker either. I have no affiliation with the university or any newspaper so there will be no agenda (positive or negative) with my writing. My unique perspective combines a strong interest level on the topic while trying to remain as unbiased as possible.
