BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -– As UD and the 7 other teams still alive in the Atlantic 10 Tournament (how ‘bout SBU and UMass?) head to Atlantic City to decide a Champion, I have to say that I really prefer the new format. What’s not to like? Reward the 4 best squads with a bye; give the next...

DAYTON (OH) -- For the last seven seasons, I haven't looked forward to the 'stretch run'. No matter how hot the Dayton Flyers start the season, they cool their jets by late January and slump into the A10 Tournament on a bum wheel. I'm not suggesting that successes weren't accomplished along...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- I made the pilgrimage down I-75 to see the St. Louis game. Here are some of the sights, observations and people I talked to while I was there. If you haven’t been back to Dayton in a while the massive road project at the juncture of Interstates 70 and 75 that took...

DAYTON (OH) -- In the words of NFL head coach Dennis Green, "We are who we thought they were!" In the words of Jim Mora, "Playoffs? Playoffs?" After Thursday night's loss to the Richmond Spiders vanished into the ether where all the other nail-biting losses reside, one can...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Is it just me or have things here at UD Pride seemed just a tad bit too somber lately? I mean seriously: lotsa doom, gloom, rumor-mongering threads and one too many Xavier trolls sharing their shallowest thoughts. The “Band of Brothers” Flyers that whupped X...

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – Don Henley may have sung about “The End of the Innocence” but I am here with a simple, non-musical request: Let’s put an end to the idiocy. How many more stupid threads can one message board stand? “CJ is transferring!” No, he’s not.

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Now that the Flyers have gotten the OOC portion of their slate out of the way, it is time, as the title of this piece indicates, for the real entertainment to begin -- the Atlantic 14 Regular Season Funfest! UD logged an 11-3 record vs. their non-con combatants, just...

PITTSBURGH (PA) -- It’s good to be heading back to Da Burgh. I’ve been a frequent visitor to the city since 1970 when I was dating the future Mrs. Swampy, who was born and raised here. We lived in Pittsburgh for three years until Westinghouse Broadcasting transferred me to Detroit in 1981....

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- This column was being saved for the end of the season, but at that point it might be too late. UD is two-thirds of the way thru the 2010 campaign. As we all know, Chris Wright has a big decision to make when it’s over, but he’s no doubt already started thinking about it....

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Friday night, Class of 2010 UD recruit Juwan Staten and his #7 ranked Oak Hill Academy squad were on national TV via ESPNU facing a perennial HS power, the #6 rated St. Patrick’s of New Joisey. For you “Jersey Shore” fans, here is “The Situation”: .4 seconds...
