Don't Know What To Say
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) – The UD Flyers traveled to Fairfax, VA on Wednesday evening and put up their worst effort of the season in an 85-67 drubbing at the hands of George Mason. Fortunately for “FTS” I didn’t feel like paying GMU to watch this debacle, so I just followed along on Live...

The Gentle Giant
Chandler, Arizona
It was a cold February morning like most February mornings in Ohio, but today was going to be special. The following day, February 9th was going to be my son’s 5th birthday. Because it was his birthday we were going to do something he normally didn’t get to do during the week and that was go to...

Close Only Counts In Horseshoes, Hand Grenades And Atomic Bombs
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- The UD Flyers came “close, but no cigar” in their road loss to UMass on Saturday afternoon. “FTS” happened to be in Erie, PA and got the unexpected bonus of being able to catch a game on Spectrum Sports that originally figured to be a Larry and Bucky special for...

One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- In his 1973 album There Goes Rhymin’ Simon songwriter Paul Simon included a ditty called “One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor” and that about sums up the situation with your Dayton Flyers.
The VCU game marked the near pinnacle of perfection in...

Hit And Run
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- To stick with the baseball analogy employed in the previous “FTS”, if the Dayton Flyers’ Duquesne debacle was a “swing and miss” then their SBU victory was most assuredly a “hit and run.” The Red and Blue hit the Bonnies upside the head for the better part of 40...

Swing And Miss
PITTSBURGH (PA) -- The University of Dayton Flyers opened their A-10 slate on the road and faced the improving Duquesne Dukes in the always challenging confines of the on-campus Palumbo Center.
It did not go well.
With students off on break, one can see why Duquesne AD Dave...

Catching up with Mark Adams, ESPN Color Analyst
ANN ARBOR (MI) -- Most of us probably look at a guy like Mark Adams, college basketball hoops color analyst for ESPN and think “Boy what a glamorous gig – I wish I could have his job.” What we don’t see are the hours of prep work that go into making the guy we know as “The Hometown Coach” one...

They Said It, Not Me
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- We all knew it was coming:
No way, no how were the Flyers gonna go 30-0 in the regular season.
The losses will come and a little more frequently than perhaps we are all accustomed to with the Red and Blue. But that’s part of having a young,...

Microcosm
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- I texted my fellow UD grad brother yesterday to remind him to catch the Flyers vs. Auburn on CBS Sports Net. Altho he is a UD hoops fan he is not nearly as rabid as I am. I told him “You have to see Kostas play.”
Yeah for all of 28 seconds.
The start of the...
