C'mon, everbody. A shout for the Dayton Flyers! #25 in the AP Poll! |

With two road games this week, we'll be out before you can give the cheer. UD! VD! CLAP, CLAP, CLAP! Looks like we're going to the Big Dance, though.

It won't last long. Barring a 1964 Phillies-type collapse, you're in.

Doesn't understand what it's like to come from a school with a basketball pedigree. Now, we're at Iowa. Sigh!

I'll never forget Old Dominion beating #1 DePaul at the Rosemont Arena. I went apeshit. And #3 Syracuse at home.
I've been following them ever since Oliver Purnell went there.
Enjoy your run!

4. Much obliged, Captain Hilts. |
|
Being my alma mater, I should pay much more attention. Living in Iowa City is like living in a bubble. You LIVE the hawks.

5. If they're in diff conferences you can root for both. But there is just about NOTHING |
|
in sports more exciting than your team getting up their in the NCAA rankings or tournament.
Nothing.
When ODU beat top-ranked 'Nova in Albany we - faculty members - were just jumping up and down and going apeshit.
When the ODU women, in Dec. '80 came within ten points of beating the USSR's team in front of 11K people, it was the most exciting sports event I've ever attended.
I'll be pulling for Dayton for you!

My high school buddy, Jay Wright, happens to coach Villanova. So, I'll be rooting for the Cats, too.
