It seems any post on mvc fans is spamed with Bradley people, down playing Mullins and siu in general. Is there an older fan rivalry I'm just not aware of ?
Other then Bradley fans being "Douches"?

There's a general arrogance when it comes to Bradley fans. There's a lot of bashing when it comes to other schools in The Valley and particularly SIU. I love beating Bradley. Their spewing of garbage towards SIU, Mullins, etc, only fuels the rivalry. At the end of the day, I like Mullins & Companies chances at pushing SIU to the top of the MVC once again....and putting Bradley in it's place.
I also didn't realize that Bradley voted to keep SIU out of the MVC back in the day. Good thing other schools at the time, voted us in. Yet another reason to dislike the Braves.

This was bound to be an interesting topic.
I held back on my initial reaction to respond and several of the reasons to despise BU fans have been covered. I know quite a few BU grad/fans and an SIU grad who attended BU for two years. I also attend the SIU/BU game nearly every year. While they are passionate about their hoops, they are condescending a-holes for the most part.
A lot has to do with the fact that many Peorians attend BU, so there is some real homerism there. BU also recruits heavily and get quite a few east coasters to attend in order to get a Midwest "experience." I know many of this BU type who actually now live in the Midwest. When discussing BU, they frequently recite the line: "It's the Harvard of the Midwest." This is when I usually spit my beer out in laughter, sometimes getting it on them. The sad part is, they really believe it. I also have an EIU grad friend who says the same thing, he believes it too.
Delusional people.
March on triumphantly!

It has a lot to do with it being a private school. They have to find a way to feel good about not getting into a "better" private school, so they look down their noses at us lowly poor folk. Creighton fans were the same way, but I hasten to add there were a few good ones who used to visit Saluki Talk.
I'm not sure we've ever had a Bradley fan here like that though, and I'm usually the first to scoff at writing off an entire fan base. 🙂
