Why Dayton Sucks...

[Xman95]

Dayton sucks because, starting with the obvious, the Flyers haven’t won at Xavier since Jimmy Carter was president.

UD sucks because of Urine Dump Arena.

UD sucks because, well, it’s in Dayton.

It sucks because of Rudy Flyer. ValuJet wouldn’t hire this oversized, retarded muppet as a pilot.

Dayton sucks because when someone says, “hey check out those melons,” they might actually be referring to melons.

Jimmy Binnie.

It sucks because when college kids take a road trip to another school, they usually think there’s a chance to hook up with girls hotter than the ones they just left. Dayton doesn’t offer that opportunity.

Dayton sucks because, despite the fact that it has been nothing more than a pimple on the ass of college basketball, its fans continue to act and run smack like the team actually has a legitimate impact on the college hoops world.

The Flyers suck because the guards look like Rastafarian Medusae. Bitches.

It sucks because it’s the only team/university to constantly bring out the hate in PMThor. In case you haven’t noticed, he hates Dayton.

St. Joe’s 60, Dayton 59.

UD sucks because eventually guys like London Warren and Kurt Huelsman have to leave.

Dayton sucks because students actually strive to live in The Ghetto.

It sucks because it has a late-season collapse almost every year.

The Flyers suck because it gets old finding holes in the watermelons at the grocery store. Sure, they’re small holes, but it’s still annoying.

UD sucks because, instead of looking in basketball circles for a coach, it decided to search the land of Lilliput.

Dayton sucks because the last NBA player it produced was Negele Knight. He hasn’t been in the big show since 1998.

Keith Waleskowski.

It sucks because the proposed light rail system will have to run through that hellish nightmare on its way from Cleveland to Cincinnati.

Dayton sucks because the city’s most famous natives were named Orville and Wilbur.

It sucks because that stretch of I-75 is always under construction.

The Flyers suck because, between 1991 and 2009, they had a total of four NCAA Tournament appearances.

UD sucks because it is ruining a rivalry. It’s not the same when one team keeps getting bitch-slapped.

It sucks because its fans honestly believe that the Flyers have passed the Musketeers as a program, despite the fact that Xavier is better in every way possible.

But, in fairness, it should be pointed out that Dayton’s program is similar to XU in one regard. Like Xavier, UD doesn’t rebuild, it reloads. However, unlike Xavier, Dayton continues to reload with blanks.

Just to bring it full circle and because it's so much fun to keep bringing up, it should be pointed out once again that the Flyers have not been able to win in Xavier's house since before Ronald Reagan took office. Jimmy Freakin' Carter! That, friends, is why Dayton sucks.



(Feel free to add other reasons...no doubt there are many, many more!)

Reps for the obscure reference to Gulliver's Travels. Well played.

Couldn't make it all hoops...

[Xman95]

We can add that Dayton sucks because, despite being absolutely owned over the last few years, its fans feel the need to call you before the game is over to gloat.

[SixFig]

The Flyers suck because the guards look like Rastafarian Medusae. Bitches.


Excellently put.

[Xman95]

Excellently put.

I can't stand those bitches!

[Filthy Chilean]

Because they can't win a conference road game. And lose to Saint Louis.

[Xman95]

By the way, here's something I don't think I posted after the debacle at the dump. My sister, the UD grad, calls me right after the game (in fact, there may have still been a few seconds left on the clock) to rub it in a little. She was taking so much pride in the lopsided win...so I had to bring her back down to earth.

"That's great for Dayton. Really, I'm happy for you. This win over Xavier is going to help boost your NIT resume."

At the time I was mostly joking, assuming that the Flyers were probably going to still make the Big Dance. Now it looks like they might actually be working on an NIT spot. Anyway, just thought I would share the story of how I was able to crush the joy of a UD fan with just a little dose of what now might be reality.

[XUOHTX]

Because their pep band will be there. A quote from a UD fan, "The good news is UD brings a ton of fans to Atlantic City. The pep band comes along too." Maybe they forgot it is the team that wins games and they don't have a good one.

[Cheesehead]

Whew! I was worried sick. Thank God their Pep Band is going to be there. Now I can sleep at night.

[The_Mack_Pack]

Wow close one..That could of turned disastrous. If they don't get a first round home game they'll play on the road before AC, anyway the pep band goes to road games?

[BandAid]

Their pep band is a bunch of tools.

Granted, there are usually a fair number of tools in most pep bands, but theirs is ridiculous.

They wear 90s style warmups, do stretches on the court, and somehow stole our fight song turned it into a waltz (and they think it insults us)...

[GoMuskies]

Why will the UD pep band go to AC? I expect them to lose to Duquesne in the opening round in Pittsburgh.

[XUOHTX]

n the court, and somehow stole our fight song turned it into a waltz (and they think it insults us)...

Really? I haven't heard this.

[coasterville95]

Unfortunately that Palumbo Center is showing itself to be a tough place to play. But, if that can get Dayton's tickets to Atlantic City torn up, I can be okay with that for 10 months!

[BandAid]

Really? I haven't heard this.

I heard it the first time the tourney was held in AC. It was before the game and the bands were alternating songs. We played something respectable like Crazy Train, then they played our fight song as a waltz (I barely recognized it), then we played another respectable song. Then the team waxed them for the third time that year.

I haven't been to udump arena, so I don't if they play it while we are there. They definitely played it that one time in AC.

I remember them playing our fight song in a mocking fashion, stopping suddenly, and then playing their fight song when we played them at the urgent discharge arena in the a10 tournament a while back. Of course, we proceeded to beat them on their home court, taking the a10 championship, and going on to the elite 8. As far as I'm concerned they can mock our fight song as much as they want...

Yeah, more like those ass ugly 80s-style track suits that were (mistakenly) all the rage. At least they finally got rid of those blasted lights on the tubas.

[QUOTE=BandAid;177027]They wear 90s style warmups, do stretches on the court,[QUOTE]

I'm starting to think the pep band has actually been playing UD's away games!

[bobbiemcgee]

Hope UD has some pep tonite.

[nuts4xu]

Dayton sucks for so many reasons. If we listed them all, the Internet would implode on itself.

[GetUp5]

Dayton sucks because of the 29 people who posted in UDPride's Predict the Score thread, 23 STILL picked Dayton to win. IN Cincinnati. #LOL

[PM Thor]

dayton sucks. There are no necessary reasons for listing how and why, because to do so one must first define "sucks", which, of course, includes dayton in any definition. So sucking and dayton are synonymous (sp). Just by existing, dayton is the suck. And so, if dayton did not exist, sucking would cease to exist also. It's science.

I HATE dayton.

[DC Muskie]

It's no curse that's for sure.

[X-man]

Dayton sucks because it's, well you know, Dayton. Location sucks, city sucks, men's basketball team sucks, its fans really suck, and so on. The bottom line is that it must really suck to be a Dayton fan.

[Xman95]

WOW! Can't say I expected to see this thread get resurrected! But, in truth, many of the things I listed in the original post still apply today. Most importantly, Dayton sucks.

[PM Thor]

Do you know why the dayton peace accords happened?

Because everyone involved knew that dayton was a backwater, one horse town with nothing to do, with no international standing whatsoever, and so they wouldn't be bothered there while all sides agreed to end the war.

Why are the Wright brothers from dayton? Because they were trying to figure out the fastest way out of that dump, so they came up with flight. Makes sense to me.

I HATE dayton.

[LadyMuskie]

It's easier to list the reasons why dayton doesn't suck. You wouldn't have to take any time to write anything down!

[Masterofreality]

The dump blows (uc sucks) because they are "takers" rather than contributors.

The cryers are one of those bottom feeder scavengers that rip off dollars from XU's NCAA success while giving back nothing. Even when they did make a Dance they were an embarrassment in a loss to the Horriffic DePuke.

There is no redeeming social value to u dump. Zero, zilch, nada.

[CinciX12]

Xavier isn't allowed to make jokes about UD girls. Other than that, spot on lol .

[X-band '01]

You can make jokes - you'll just have to reflect later on about your words.

[PM Thor]

Here are my words. I have had one very good friend go to dayton, she graduated and has a very successful career. But when you ask her, the best thing she ever did, it was leave dayton.

Then there is my father-in-law. At first he went to dayton, but then was told he had to take mandatory ROTC, and he wasn't allowed to walk onto their basketball team. So he transferred to Syracuse, became a walk on and saw thiings he would never have seen if he got stuck at dayton.

So screw dayton, their fans, their program, their ghetto, their hole city (deliberately mispelled). By the end of my life I hope for one of two things. One. dayton as a city ceases to exist, absorbed by Centerville, and B, dayton gets wiped from history. I HATE them. HATE them. Yes, I am slightly drunk, and yes, I still have a spinning class and a yoga class to go to before the game. I am a renaissance man. Fuck them. Fuck all of them.

I HATE dayton.

C'mon, Thor...tell us how you really feel. BTW my wife is from Dayton (but didn't go to school there, thank God), and she hates the place.

[PM Thor]

Ok, so has anyone told parents that the baby they have dressed in dayton garb...the best thing they could do is put the kid up for adoption?

Yeah, me neither. dayton is a cesspool of idiocy, wishing it was Hamilton.

No lie, I have seen dayton fans in Cintas wearing full on coveralls to a game. Hill Billy.

I HATE dayton.

[GetUp5]

Dayton sucks because a udpride poster with over 4100 posts, posted this as his 'keys to the game'.... (seriously, he really did...)

"I have spent some time thinking about it. Have heard discussion of Redford and we know but teams have a really good PG. However, IMO, the key will be the interior players ( JB, JR, DO vs TT, JR, IP )."

I think that was the same thread where the guy said tonight has nothing to do with Xavier, but rather is all about what dayton does. I seriously did not know they were that delusional. The dayton fans I know are my age and aren't die hard or blinded by homerism, but those people on that site are laughable. No wonder the basketball gods have shat on them for so long.

[ballyhoohoo]

Dayton sucks because they wear the same generic form uniforms as my old high school.

Nike form uniforms for a high school, cool. A division one program, not so much.

[PM Thor]

I didn't even watch the game tonight, just listened to it. In all honesty, listening to Byron and Joe calmed me in a way I didn't know they could. Those two simply kept it in perspective, and made me relax. I think this might be the best way I go from here on out for fucking dayton games.

I HATE dayton.
