These guys make Bow Wow sound lake Jay-Z.
I'll never forget when this Deadspin link was sent to my school e-mail account from a Saluki fan mocking the Braves.
I then forwarded it to friends, family, posted it on Facebook, probably on Twitter and then eventually played it for whoever was in the newsroom and my sports desk (whatever was left of it).
It came up in conversation between SIU players, even Nick Evans, who has had his moments of immaturity thought it was in poor taste and timing. And generally bad. Head coach Chris Lowery didn't want to go on the record when I first approached him about it, but after some persistence in search of a comment, Lowery said "I really don't want to comment on another coach's team, but I think my guys know better than to do that."
Only after being mocked in a public forum (and when you get mocked on Deadspin, it's quite public), the Braves came out and said the video was for a fund-raiser. SIU beat Bradley later that week and everything was right in the world.
Southern Illinois looks to take the season series from the Braves and can do so tonight with a victory at the SIU Arena.
Redshirt sophomore Nick Evans will be active after his one-game suspension. But after the way 6-foot-9-inch, 290-pound freshman Eugene Teague perfromed against Creighton and Evansville, Evans might be hard-pressed to find playing time.
If my real-life schedule allows, I might actually attend the SIU-Bradley tilt. If not, we could always catch the television feed via Mediacom or Mike Reis on the radio.
What should I do?
