That was awesome. Guy singing The Star Spangled Banner gets on the mic and says, “Flyers fans: I would be honored if you would join me in singing the National Anthem tonight.” And this happened.
What’s that they say? “Go Flyers. Go America.” 🚦✈️🚦🇺🇸

Star DaRon Holmes II at the end of the press conference.
“I wish I could have him for another 5 years… another 10 years. He’s about all the right stuff.”
Holmes could return for one more season or declare for NBA.
I’m not tired of seeing the Dayton logo in the background. To those who say it’s better the fly under the radar - with all due respect, you are wrong. The exposure is invaluable for the Brand.
It’s funny how an announcer who has never done our games all season can see every flaw our Coach has before halftime and continues to point out what we all know - and the administration doesn’t want to admit. We don’t have a coach. We have a good recruiter.
@GoodmanHoops
Pathetic. The place the tournament starts every year - somehow not included. 13,500 fans every game in a facility built for college basketball. You can’t be serious Jeff.
Just got to my wedding. Missed last 2 minutes of the game but am proud of the way the
@DaytonFlyers
battled. Some days, the bounces go to the other team - but we held our composure, made some runs and showed up. And DaRon - we will miss you if you move on. Thanks for the memories
Digitized this today. Going to test sew later. For my personal use only - looking forward to seeing how it turns out. My guess is pretty killer. Maybe on a chapel blue shirt?
Dayton Flyer friends - don’t think I ever shared one of my coolest gifts from Christmas. A handcrafted bottle of wine from
@ManosWine
with the UD logo etched and painted into the bottle. Killer. Problem is I don’t want to drink it - maybe save for a national championship?
To all that come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America...
Man there is a lot of Dayton hate out there given the exposure in the polls and the metrics. Really think the best thing this team can do (as others have said) is lean into the villain role. Get an attitude. Suddenly the Dayton against the world thing is kind of making sense.
The sleeper game of the day in college basketball is in the Atlantic 10 as Dayton visits Richmond.
Both teams are undefeated and tied for first place in league play.

Thanks to all who responded & asked for tickets. I distributed 8 pairs to UD fans just now & got back to the more than 20 fans DM'd me. Sorry I couldn't cover everyone. Still a small chance for those that missed out if someone doesn't claim the tics in the portal. Go Flyers!
The legendary
@tonidevelin
and I meeting for the first time ever in person.
@manda_mag
- truly missing you as well tonite… was looking forward to finally meeting. Sorry you had to miss! Go flyers!
This has become embarrassing. We literally have one play we use every time. High screen and try to cut and get Daron open. Otherwise we Dribble around with no plan and chuck the ball from deep usually off balance. This is not getting things done.
I actually laughed during a Dayton game. This is new. Hasn’t happened since the stolen season. Seeing a team have fun and play a full game was a nice present tonite. Thanks Flyers!

It’s the key to making sure Americans have jobs to return to once this ends. What’s your point? Mom and pop businesses are the backbone of this country.

Ok. This one is pretty darn sharp. Swapped out the navy in Rudy for black and changed the text color. OGIO Rudy Flyer polo is a winner. Go Dayton Flyers!

Can we please burn the navy blue uniforms
@DaytonMBB
or at least go with white text outlined in red? Zero contrast on camera and nearly impossible to make out numbers and names from a distance.
Terrible by referee - Bonnie’s player is out of bounds when touches ball. Does not call it and results in made 3 by Bonnie’s. Horrifically bad no call. With Dayton playing poorly, cannot have 3 points gifted by ref.
The morning after… was really hoping this would be Dayton’s redemption year. Knew it wasn’t the 2020 team but bought into the hype. Problem is - we don’t look like we improved and coaches in the a10 know exactly what we will do. With SLU on the road (who always gives us fits…)
So after thinking about it a couple days here’s where I’m at. As
@TomDaytonFlyers
says - winning on the road is hard. Our conference is probably more competitive than most give credit and we still are on track for a at large bid - which should be the norm. That said… 1/4
The audacity of these guys. Yes, let’s eliminate all mid majors from the tourney auto bid wise. Only we - the high and mighty should automatically be in. Do they hear themselves speaking? Do you not see where this is headed people. The clues are everywhere.
Tom Izzo says autobids for mid-Majors has “got to be looked at seriously” because “while everybody likes the upsets in the first round I’m not sure if that’s true as it goes on.” Also agrees w/Pitino that more former coaches/players should be on selection committee.
Guys. Helluva win on the road. Got punched in the face and punched again and then punched in the gut and responded. We really need to work on our end of game though. Oooooof.
