After such a great win and positivity going into the final stretch of the season, if Burch is really gone, let's just hope Bradley doesn't do the charade that Evansville did for a month with Keishon Porter. They continually gave this lame excuse that he was out due to "coach's decision" game after game even though he was clearly not present for any of their games. Then finally Evansville released a statement that they wished him the best but he was gone. It greatly annoyed their fanbase and it's an unnecessary distraction as we get closer to tournament time. I've grown so tired of talking about it already and with this long gap until Sunday's game, let's just give everyone a clean break and a fresh start. No hard feelings - don't even have to get into the "why". Just seems like for the best.
You'd think if we had a true beat reporter covering the team that your job, as not an employee of the school like the radio guys, is to get answers to difficult questions. I'm sure Dave Eminian is a nice guy but he spends so much of his time covering hockey, I don't really know how much he even cares to ask these sorts of questions. Maybe Wardle stonewalls him on this stuff but it's his job to ask. I also don't have a PJStar subscription, so if he's talked about this in any articles, I wouldn't know. I retract my criticism if he has, but since it's a big story, you'd think he would feature it if he had done any writing about it.
(It's sort of ridiculous that someone like DC or others who are "in the know" have to be the gatekeepers for this sort of knowledge. If anyone on the board wants to share what they know, so be it, but it's not really their job to do so. Please don't pressure them on that.)
