Welcome!!!

Welcome to everyone who found this blog! First things first, the man you see pictured with a healthy glass of wine in his hand, and a jim dandy White Sox shirt on, is my uncle. He is one of the finest human beings ever to walk the earth, and this blog is dedicated to him.

Secondly, I'm not really sure who would want to read anything here. As I stated before, this blog was started by me strictly for theraputic purposes at this point. If something is on here that generates a reaction in you, by all means feel free to share it. If not, that's fine too. This is a fly-by-night operation, so no pressure.

Third, we live in an era where sports information has never been more accessible. Yet somehow most of it manages to be filtered and watered down in many respects by certain media/sports networks/websites. It's my wish to have one little sanctuary where information/thoughts/feelings are free of agenda or spin, or b.s. that exists in todays sportsworld. Hopefully that will exist here.

Fourth, LETS HAVE SOME FUN!!!

We Are...UD








Dear Flyer Faithful,

Tonight, we can call ourselves 2009-2010 NIT Champions. Tonight, we have added a third NIT Title to the history of UD Basketball. Tonight, was the culmination of a winning streak that began three weeks ago, which saw UD beat teams from the Missouri Valley, the Big East, the Big Ten, the SEC, and now the ACC and last seasons National Champion North Carolina.

Yes, winning the NIT was not our goal to start the season. Yes, this UD team underachieved and was about 6 or 7 possessions away from qualifying for the NCAA Tournament. Yes, this was the second out of the past three seasons Dayton was in the Top 20 and didn't make the Tournament. Yes, Brian Gregory is once again the subject of rumors regarding his departure for greener pastures. Yes, Chris Wright did not elevate his game to the next level many people expected him to, and was wildly inconsistent.

None of it matters, at least not tonight. At least for one night, let's put away the disappointment of unrealized expectations, the sarcasm of winning a tournament that won't be around next season, the anxiety caused by rumors, and pessimism about the future. While in many respects Dayton may be at the crossroads, there is realistic hope for optimism for next season. Tomorrow will begin another offseason of intrigue, but for now let's just enjoy this, and have visions of what the new banner hanging at UD Arena will look like.

"This game is kind of a capsule of our season. Started out great, had some tough times, then just kind of through and ended up being very successful" - Brian Gregory 4/1/2010.

    WE ARE UD! Congrats to the UD Flyers and the class of 2010. They will graduate as the winnings class in UD basketball history. This class marks the change into a more consistent basketball program. I hope BG doesn't leave. I personally believe the team will improve next year because of addition of Staten and Josh Parker(juco transfer from drake). Like you said put away all the disappointments. Today and after they will be known as winners. Like other years we always leave wait until year. Not this year UD leaves with optimism, a winners feeling, and a NIT Championship ring.
