Last week I was talking hoops with a group of seniors at Milanos and they reminded me they weren't born yet the last time Dayton won the A10 Tournament.
Breaking: Trump is signing another executive order eliminating Lake Ontario from the Great Lakes. That way there will be four Great Lakes instead of five out of respect for Jayden Daniels.
I think we need both wins in Charleston and psychologically need to beat Memphis in Columbus. Basically a home game. UC less than ideal if we lose, but not a dealbreaker but makes USF a must win. Q1 potential at Liberty and FSU.
Another solid non-con slate ripe w/ opportunities to create an NCAAT resume. Formula hasnt changed: UD needs to win 2/3 in Charleston and 2/3 from UC, FSU and Memphis. 11-3 before Xmas = success, 10 wins and its murky with work to do, 9 wins and we'll be playing for March early
@TG2point0 Dayton alone will have 5 to 7000 people there conservatively. Would any other conference team do that? No. Much love to VCU, but they might get 2000 in DC for a game like this.
@sullymygoodname Hot take, I’m fine with this. Had he come back to Dayton, knowing our luck, he would be suddenly ruled ineligible after a 20-2 start in late January and we’d have to forfeit all our games and not make the tournament.
@ProLOWD I knew we were collectively insane when there were 1000 Dayton fans at a small arena at Ohio State watching an alumni team play basketball in the middle of the summer. I was one of them.
So @971thefan is going to have to cancel its afternoon show on a Wednesday in the middle of Buckeye football season to Carrie an exhibition basketball game from a tennis court.
Tip times are set for the CareSource Invitational at the Cincinnati Open on Wednesday, October 7th:
Cincinnati vs. Ohio State at 3pm
Xavier vs. Dayton at 5:30pm
Afternoon tip times to avoid moisture/rising dew points later in the night. General public can buy tickets Friday.
@UCBarstool … Because this is a way to give Dayton something by the other three schools who are or are perceived to be more important and say, see? We scrimmage you so now we can’t play you during nonconference play. Oh by the way Dayton will play Xavier and Ohio State play Cincinnati.
@MikeHerndonSk1 And younger millennials/GenZ parents are gonna look at those costs and eventually go… Ya know what… nah not doing it. I think travel ball has hit its peak.
Since 2004 I predicted Catholics split into 3 similar to the current Jewish religion. Orthodox, SSPX, anybody pre-Vatican2. Conservative, Vatican2 recognized, most diocesan infrastructure falls here. Reformed, any group interested in female clergy, gay marriage, etc
Since 2018, I’ve been predicting the Catholic Church would split three ways. That is now starting to happen. The 3 parties are…
1. The Catholic Church headed by the Pope of Rome
2. The SSPX headquartered in Écône, Switzerland (just happened)
3. The German Synod (coming soon)
@ProLOWD I kind of appreciate that we don’t really have to worry about TV for this one since every network has college football commits that day. Feels like ESPN plus to me. That means we can have it whenever we want.
The explanation is ESPN wants Monday night football inventory as long as they can possibly have it, which means an extra week before the national championship, since the NFL season ends later this year. Real loser? College basketball.
