Just being/living here in Dayton...watching the Team from the beginning....Coach Grant over past 3 years....we all feel the love....Obi Toppin and the other Team members...they are close like family! Many of the players are from Ohio or close to Ohio as well...Obi, nor Jalen but heck...Ohio is their bond now....

Trey Landers, he is from Dayton/ Huber Heights...just up the road.

From UD. Nephew Soccer Star there.

But the really big news is that Bigfoot has now been spotted in Warren County! Man has proof.

I knew all those years of hearing about him being seen at Indian Lake were true!

Winner: Obi Toppin's highlight reel

Another day, another windmill dunk for Dayton's Oni Toppin. The national player of the year candidate finished with 28 points and seven rebounds for Dayton as the No. 5 Flyers beat Duquesne 80-70 for their 16th straight victory. Toppin highlighted the day with a baseline windmill that lands somewhere on the list of his top-100 dunks this season.

During the game they just lost...
San Diego was STUNNED, clueless as to how to close a fight! They are going to loose against The Dayton Flyers in a Battle Royale...

The San Diego game....The team was spinning in dismay....there was a San Diego player towards the end of the game...he physically shoved a guy to the floor...The other player, he had bounced the ball off him under the basket ; I thinks that's legal...the San Diego guy, acted like a 2 year old....reminded me of my grand kids...I did laugh.... It was called as a flagrant foul.
I love college basketball...
