I just want the team I support to be in a stronger conference. I'd prefer it to be a stronger A-10! To me that would mean every member would have at least 2 trips to the NCAA Tourney and 5 winning seasons during each 10-year cycle. It would also be great for every program to seriously challenge for a league title (either regular season or Tourney) at least once during that same period of time. |

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
It appears the UD Pre-season title defense is in full blown mode. I expect they will make the nit and get blown out in the 1st round again.

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
It's an exciting year because it's really Archie's first major influx of players. I think the addition of 1 more player will get us to a healthy place in terms of team depth. The coaching change last year left us high and dry on depth especially when Benson went down.

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
This incoming ud team is easily the most talented in the league next year. I cant wait for mk, kd, jb, ag, jr, ds, and the rest to dominate.
Archie is the best coach in the conference and one if the best in the country 2 losses at most in league play next year

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
Am I allowed to keep calling Archie "Kid Yuma"? Chris R from UD Pride did. I had no idea he read the Blackburn Review. Probably a Rosceaux fan. I hope he likes the forthcoming summer spectacular. It's @DadBoner approved. Power moves.

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
What's interesting is that in the last eight years, Wright State and Dayton have the same amount of NCAA Tournament appearances...1. Perhaps some of the UD fans on this board should stop trying to compare themselves to Xavier and start comparing themselves a very similar mid-major program that is located just across town. UD's overall body of work this decade is far more comparable to WSU than it is to X.
Instead of trying to catch up to Xavier's level (which will take quite some time considering the massively differing track records), perhaps Dayton should first look at trying to catch up to Ohio University's level considering that the Bobcats have had significantly more recent success than the Flyers. Even Cleveland State has been more successful as of late. In terms of Flyer fans comparing themselves to Xavier, it might be better to stick to more similar programs in the state: Ohio U, Cleveland State, Wright State, etc. The numbers don't lie...UD is far closer to those programs than they are to X. Muddy, would you mind using your graphs and charts to compare UD's recruiting to the more similar Ohio programs instead of X. You'll look like far less of a douche in doing so.

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
Stop. UD and Wright State are not similar in any way. Wright State made the tourney because they won a league with one team as competition. 85% of their games are against horrible teams, and many years they struggle to win half of them. Same with Cleveland State. As good as Butler has been, occasionally they will get beat, because that's basketball. That's the only way other Horizon teams can sniff the dance.
If all Dayton had to do was beat a few MAC teams on a neutral floor to make the dance, or Horizon teams at UD Arena, they would have made several NCAAs over the past decade. Just stop with this nonsense. In your quest to have a bigger message board penis than someone else, you are disrespecting the A10. Winning 10 games in this league is harder than winning 14 in the MAC, or going unbeaten in the Horizon. Dayton's program, and the A10 in general, is on another level.

Re: 2012-2013 Dayton Flyers
It's the so called Horizon or MAC level talent teams that UD has had trouble with... Just this year you have Buffalo, Rhode Island, Duquense, Miami etc. losses.
Dayton probably has a larger "profile" than the Wright St, Cleveland St, Ohio U programs of the world simply because they play in the A-10 as opposed to the MAC or Horizon. However, UD has frankly had less success than many of these teams in the NCAA tournament. |
