UD loses

[XU 87]

by 29

at home

to Buffalo (the college not the NFL team).

In fairness to UD, Buffalo (the college not the NFL team) was picked to finish 5th in the MAC East. So they must be good.

And the announcer said UD was tired from their game on ...... Sunday.

I am looking forward to the UD fans rationalizing this loss. Something to the extent of "we played four games in seven days, the team was exhausted." First of all, that's your fault for making the schedule. Secondly, you lost to BUFFALO at HOME. I have heard the Bulls are sneaky good this year but honestly, come on UD. Yes, you won the Old Spice tourney. You played two declining basketball teams in Minnesota and Wake while beating F airfield. Congratulations UD, your consistent mediocrity provides me endless entertainment.

[Muskied]

no matter how much old spice you win.....you still stink.

[Fam93]

Old Spice covers up terrible BO.

[XU 87]

I wonder if they hung their "2011 Old Spice Tournament Winner" banner tonight. They probably hung it next to the "2002 Maui Classic Winner" banner.

That just happened.

I'm pretty sure I read where Dayton fans were surprised they didn't cut down the nets from last week Old Spice turd circus.

I wonder if next year they'll honor the 2002 team and the 10 year anniversary of winning the Maui Classic.

Well knowing that everyone on that team isn't making money playing basketball, I am sure they would be available for such an event.

[JAX 3758]

Buffalo (The college not the NFL team) played zone in the first half and you will never believe this but Dayton was just standing five feet outside the three point line launching dumb shot after dumb shot.

Dont they understand they have to pound it down low to Kavanughfjghtj? (how ever you spell that stiffs name)?

[DC Muskie]

You spell it "Kav In Awe."

[gladdenguy]

DC, thanks for making me laugh with the "that just happened"

Hilarious

UD PRIDE: Where AMAZING Happens

[XUFan09]

I can't wait to read the Blackburn Review's take on this. Tom Blackburn is hilarious, and not in the unintentional, pathetic way like UD Pride.

[Cheesehead]

I liked the post that mentioned the "mammoth road game on Saturday against undefeated Murray State". Classic.

I expect Murray State to kill them. Murray has been a much better program than Dayton for about 30 years. They'd be a very good addition to the A-10 if they didn't play football.

[paulxu]

In an effort to be fair to Dayton, at least Buffalo's RPI is about 20 points higher than Presbyterian.

[smileyy]

I think i saw in a conversation thread that they didn't hit a 2pt basket until late in the first half?

HAHAHAHA. Thank you, that was awesome.

The full bit of jet lag joy from AvidFlyer:

"I think you can get jetlag just from all the rigors of travel, packing, standing in line for security checks, waiting for baggage on arrival etc. Travel can take a lot out of you then there is the descending from the clouds back to reality after a big win.

Quite frankly I think the flyers spent a lot of energy in the Minneapolis game.

I agree, Sunday could be another story. Hope they regroup and get it together.

Good news is which team will Murray State prepare for."

I...........don't even know..........I just.............

Jet lag doesn't happen like that, first off. That's a piss poor excuse.

Second, all the other "rigors" of travel? What with that heavy ass Old Spice Classic banner in your luggage? Watch out, we have some badass travelers on board.

The line in bold is my favorite, really. Their collective heads have been in the clouds for forever and a day, and yet they think that's why they lost today? pft.

[CinciX12]

Jetlag from Orlando to Dayton. Right.

Incompetent morons.

[Flexo]

I'm looking forward to them using the jet lag excuse after we beat them at Cintas again.

[LadyMuskie]

To be fair, it is possible that their flight from Orlando was rerouted to say, Tokyo, and then flew back to Dayton. I mean, we are all aware of the continuing bad luck poor UD is always faced with. Who can forget the raging (what was it again?) food poisoning/flu/pneumonia epidemic that practically wiped out the team a few years ago? And, let's not down play how every referee in the NCAA is out to destroy sweet little UD. It's just so hard for them. And now, they have a coach to carry on the great mantel brought forth to UD by one Brian Gregory. Way to move forward and leave those ugly non-conference records behind you, UD! Bwahahahahahaha.

It just makes me so happy to not just watch UD lose, but to lose in such a spectacular fashion. The look on Archie Miller's face was priceless. What a great season it has been thus far! We keep beating real opponents and our non-conference and conference foes keep losing to colleges most people didn't know existed. Beautiful, beautiful season!

[LadyMuskie]

I just read the Dayton Daily News article. Well, I started it. I got to the second paragraph where Archie Miller was going on and on about being "scared to death" on the flight home from Orlando about the Buffalo game and had to stop.

What is with these coaches? First, Cronin is all "paranoid" about playing Presbyterian and now Miller is "scared to death" to play a team that most people will incorrectly associate with Marv Levy and an entirely different sport. What kind of confidence is that from a coach? No wonder UC and UD can't beat these teams. Their coaches are practically in the fetal position under the bench sucking their thumbs over having to play Presbyterian and Buffalo. For (supposedly) grown men, these two seem to whine a lot about being terrified about having to do their jobs.

Losers!

[bleedXblue]

It's sad b/c we need Dayton to win some games to help the conference RPI and boost the league up a little.

As much as I despise them and their fans, every loss like this hurts our leagues credibility.

So indirectly, UD is at it again.

Losing is one thing.

But losing by 30 AT HOME to Buffalo ? What ?

WOW is all I can say.

Archie Miller looked like death on the bench. He literally looked like he was going to vomit all over himself.

[ballyhoohoo]

Dayton passed us as a program a while ago, right? If so, why aren't they flying charter?

Sad, but true. We may all rejoice in Dayton's misfortune, but you know that when they play us, all flaws of theirs will disappear and we will be in for a battle.

That must be the reason. I wonder how Buffalo got to Dayton if not by jet.

[nuts4xu]

It is December 1, 2011 at 9:42am and daytons still sucks.

[xubrew]

I believe Dayton charters their own planes, and they never left the timezone. What is it, three hours at most from Dayton to Orlando?? Same timezone, and they think they're jetlagged. Three days later. I didn't know waiting in line and checking your luggage (on a chartered flight, mind you) could result in jetlag.

The game was pathetic. That analysis as to why they played so poorly was infinitely more pathetic.

[Masterofreality]

Jetlag from Orlando to Dayton. Right.

For a team with the nickname of "Flyers", they obviously don't do it very well.

Maybe the udump plane landed in Indianapolis and they had to take a bus over, since the mud airstrip that is in the middle of a cornfield north of Huber Heights couldn't accomodate the 4 propeller Constellation that's held together with chicken wire, duct tape and spit. After all, the dump did get it from Air France- the masters at surrender.

Oh my God, that video is awesome. If you look close, boom oporator Scotty from Boogie Nights is tugging it in the corner.

Honestly, Having Kavanaugh, Benson and Luke Fabreeze playing meaningful minutes would infuriate SWAC team fan basses. However, we are forced to play these jokers twice a year.

And to answer your question, pal: why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to, they asked me for a favor. I said, the real favor, follow my advice and fire your f'in ass because a loser is a loser.

Only the French and Dayton would buy a plane with one engine on one side and two on the other. Round trip anyone? (Poetic visual license with the picture).

I am absolutely ashamed that Dayton will converge into a giant metro area with Cincinnati in about 30 years.

I do miss Kurt Huelsman though.

I dont care that this movie is almost 30 years old. How could have anyone previewed that video and thought "man that looks awesome, lets air it during home games!"

Is it just me, or did it look like the "lightning bolts" were shooting out of the flyer's buttocks and crotch areas?

[bobbiemcgee]

Wonder how Minnesota and Wake were both able to win last nite? Maybe they were methed up?

[xubrew]

When Presby beat UC, it was their fourth game in seven days, and fifth game in eight days. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they were traveling by bus throughout that entire stint, which is much crappier than flying.

I really don't know what any of that means. I just found it really funny that some of the UD fans actually think the loss was due to having played four games in seven days and being jetlagged after a two hour charted flight three days before.

I guess Presby wasn't jetlagged. After all, they took the bus.

[DC Muskie]

You know, Buffalo was like CJ Anderson last night. Swagger.

Isn't the flight to UMass almost as long as a flight to Orlando? I don't know why they're even trying to rationalize such an excuse.

But what do you expect from a program that used boxing training to help their players punch like girls?

Frankly, "Jetlag" would've been a more appropriate nickname than Flyers for Dayton the last couple decades or so.

If you're referring to the Lowery "punch" of Tu, that was more of a slap than a punch. I have concluded that UD teaches its players to be sissies and slap other players.

[danaandvictory]

It's a horrible loss, but every one of us knows that even if these guys played like the Clown College for 28 games out of the year they'd still come out like the '86 Celtics 2-3 times against Xavier.

That was definitely more of a slap. Lowery looked like a 6 year old girl who was a swatting away a scary bug.

Buffalo has passed them as a program.

Murray won at WKU tonight, so now Dayton has to go on the road and face an 8-0 Murray State team. Things are certainly not getting easier for the Flyers.

If Mick was still coaching them it would be.

I think Archie is simply going to have to wait to clean house of all the Gregory guys the same way Majerus had to at SLU. Losing to Buffalo is unforgivable but I was shocked that they won that tournament last week.

[bleedXblue]

Murray won at WKU tonight, so now Dayton has to go on the road and face an 8-0 Murray State team. Things are certainly not getting easier for the Flyers.

We beat Vandy on the road.

Lets see how the Cryers do on the road against a low level Murray State team.

My prediction is a 15 point loss.

[bobbiemcgee]

Murray State won a tournament in Alaska last weekend and played this week. Hope they don't have jet lag.

[DC Muskie]

I know this probably isn't very original, but it really is funny that a team called the "Flyers" say that jet-lag hurt them playing basketball.

Flyers have jet-lag. The more I say it the funnier it becomes.

Do you guys remember the promotional video they put together a few years back where the team was dressed in flight suits and walked in slow motion out of some random hangar with aviatior sun glasses on?

That was 1988 at Louisville. I would've been at that game. I'm pretty sure Louisville won big.

[GoMuskies]

I wonder if Pervis had 30....or 40. Louisville was the best team in the country that year until Pervis got hurt against Ohio State. So, I'm thinking the Flyers didn't do so well that night.

95-68 Louisville. The dancing cheerleaders apparently did not intimidate.

And, of course, this is also the Louisville team that I witnessed Xavier beat at Riverfront Coliseum in the first game of the year. Kind of a monumental day: I had never heard of Xavier before they showed up on that Louisville schedule.

We went as a group of 4 and road up and down to the arena in an elevator car with groups of U of L fans. They spoke openly derisively about XU on the way up and were Oh so quiet on the way down. No "Congratulations on a nice game!" or even a "Good luck the rest of the year!"

We just made the ride down in silence with huge grins on our faces.

It was a great atmosphere. That was one of my earliest XU b'ball memories when I started going to their games. I also went to the XU-UofL rematch at the Coliseum a year or two later when the Cards won. I'll never forget Dwayne Wilson airballing a finger-roll while warming up prior to the 2nd-half. Never seen that happen before and still haven't.
