Okay folks, today I gotta walk you through my little adventure trying to track down Bradley University’s 2025 baseball schedule. Sounds simple, right? Boy, was I wrong. Drove me crazy for a good hour before I figured it out.
The Start – Thinking It’d Be Obvious
So, my buddy Mike asked me where Bradley plays next week. Easy peasy, I figured. Grabbed my laptop first thing in the morning, coffee steaming, ready to go. I open up my browser. My first instinct? Just type “Bradley University Braves baseball schedule 2025” into the big search engine. Hit Enter, feeling confident.
Boom, tons of results pop up. But here’s the thing – most were totally useless! Stuff like ticket seller sites selling anything baseball related near Bradley, old forum posts talking about last year’s games, and these weird aggregator sites listing “projected” 2025 schedules for like, every college team ever. Seriously, who updates those? No actual schedule.
The Frustrating Detours
Alright, scratch that. Plan B. I know the official site is usually the place, right? Headed over to the main Bradley University dot edu website. Clicked around Athletics… found Baseball tucked away… clicked again… and bam! Right there: “2024 Schedule.” Of course it is. Still stuck in the past.
Did they just forget to update it? Where was the 2025 version hiding? Checked the News section – maybe an announcement? Nada. Just recaps of last season. Started clicking on anything labeled “Baseball.” Felt like I was going in circles.
Banging My Head Against the Wall
Getting annoyed now. Coffee’s getting cold. Tried the conference angle. What conference is Bradley baseball in again? Oh yeah, the Missouri Valley Conference. Hopped over to their official site. Found the baseball section. Lots of standings, stats… and schedules. Yay!
But… only the 2024 schedule. Again! Same story everywhere I looked. Seriously? How hard is it to post the next season’s dates when everyone knows they exist by winter?
The “Aha!” Moment Hiding in Plain Sight
Almost gave up. Decided one last try back on the Bradley athletics site. This time, instead of clicking “Schedules” or “News,” I spotted something else: “Teams.” Huh. Clicked “Teams,” selected “Baseball,” and waited for the team page to load.
And there it was. Right under the team picture. Not a massive banner, not a news flash – just a straightforward tab labeled “Schedule.” It took me maybe three more seconds to notice the little drop-down menu right next to it. Clicked it… and saw “2025” listed!
Finally! The full Bradley Braves 2025 baseball schedule, with opponents, dates, locations, the whole nine yards. What a hassle for something that should have been two clicks.
So, the takeaway? Don’t trust the main “Schedules” link early in the year. Go directly to the specific team page. Every time. Look for that sneaky little drop-down menu next to the schedule header. Saves a world of frustration. Hope this saves you all some time!
