Hotty Toddy. Again
Chris DiSano, a URI color commentator and founder of College Chalktalk, reports that Dayton will renew its series with Ole Miss next season: After one year off, hearing Dayton and … [Read More...]
The Big East Will be a 12-Pack of Contentiousness
SB Nation's Seton Hall Blog, South Orange Juice, recently interviewed the Hall's AD Pat Lyons. In the piece, Lyons confirms that the league will be expanding to 12 teams in the … [Read More...]
A Man, His Glove
The Cincinnati Reds game went into extra innings tonight, with the home team pulling out a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs in thirteen innings. Cesar Izturis hit a game-winning single … [Read More...]
Davidson, Come on Down?
The Atlantic Ten is scurrying. After rumors that Siena would be added to the league two weeks ago come reports that Davidson might be brought to the league starting in the fall of … [Read More...]
Lastly, Dayshon “Scoochie” Smith…
Archie's last recruit for 2013 is Dayshon "Scoochie" Smith, a 6'3" point-guard from the Bronx. At just "170" pounds, Smith is a rail-thin athlete whose lack of muscle kept him off of … [Read More...]

Then There’s Kyle Davis…
Another day, another Chicago recruit. This time it’s Kyle Davis, a kid with Barack Obama’s build but hopefully not his jump shot. “The 6’2, 165-pound Davis also reportedly held offers from in-state schools Northwestern, Illinois State, Illinois-Chicago, and Chicago State, in addition to programs in the Big East and SEC. He is listed as a […]
There’s This Guy Named Kendall Pollard…
It’s that time of the year, the period of the season when we dip our toes into the murky recruiting waters and pretend to like it. Although we would never bother with speculation and trivial recruiting discussions regarding prep players that have no business at a school like Dayton (ahem, Luke Kennard, ahem), that’s strictly […]
Five for Flying with Don and Matt
AND WE’RE BACK!!! After a few weeks off for Don’s “identity surgery,” we are back just in time for the end of CBB season, and the beginning of the time when you don’t want to be inside reading meaningless crap on the Internets. – 1– Matt: Since there isn’t anything major Flyer related to discuss […]
The Education of Archie Miller
Year two of the Archie Miller Experience wrapped up with a spirited loss to Brad Stevens’ Butler Bulldogs in Brooklyn. The season seemed to peak around the Murray State loss, a victory that pushed the Flyers overall record to 9-3. Dayton began its conference schedule with visits to VCU and La Salle, with a home […]
The Intolerable Case of Matt Kavanaugh
Looking back, it shouldn’t have been a surprise. For several years I’d received emails regarding Matt Kavanaugh’s unsettling behavior, particularly around women at UD. These stories would almost always coincide with an account of Kav’s profound arrogance and how he seemed to go out of his way to make sure his presence, welcomed or not, […]

Death is Afoot
So, as you may have heard, UD opens up its Atlantic Ten tournament with Horseshoe University. Not a great draw, but finishing 12th place in the league doesn’t necessarily assure a smooth road ahead. Obviously, the Bulldogs eat March up like it’s their breakfast, so Dayton will certainly have their hands full tomorrow. But fret […]
Ball Don’t Lie, Except When It Does
The season couldn’t have ended any other way. After losing a heart-breaker against George Washington (as was scripted), on a follow-up dunk by Isaiah Armwood, the Flyers had to lie in wait, relying on the results of the Saint Bonaventure/Fordham and Charlotte/St. Joe’s tilts. UD wouldn’t have to wait long, as the Fordham Rams hung […]
A Conversation with Butler University
The Flyers went into Thunderdome looking to come out like William Wallace and instead came out looking like Nick Marshall. God that was a terrible movie analogy. Anyway, the Flyers quickly gave the police their story, told the sketch artist what the assailant looked like, and a rape kit was submitted for DNA testing. Unfortunately, […]

And Now For Something Completely Different…
Let me start this by telling you that I love baseball. I love watching it on TV, I love watching it live, playing fantasy baseball, reading about it, baseball video games, and I can sit for hours on end just combing over stats. It’s a sickness. Blackburn has been kind enough give a purpose to […]
