Day is Done, Gone the Sun...

Get your tissues ready blog fans. This is going to be a tear jerker. Or if you are like DiSab, you already carry tissues with you when you read the blog because this is your version of xnxx.com (SO not safe for work). The season is over and I have to admit, I am bummed. Yes, this team frustrated me to no end, but what a run! If someone would have told me that Dayton would win 27 games, beat Xavier, and win an NCAA Tournament game, I would have called you crazy and gotten pissed at you for being a Ham and Egger. So why all the sadness? No, I am not quitting the blog (sorry John). I would like to take this time to thank Tom for allowing me to join a Dayton Flyers basketball blog, even if I didn't go to the University of Dayton. I never thought I'd have so much fun writing for a blog. This season, Dayton definitely had it's up's, but also had it's down's. But all in all, it was a great year. I am definitely happy to be part of this season.

Now...what can you expect from the blog this summer and next year? Yes, Tom and I are coming back in full force. We thought about shutting it down and going out on top, but we were scared that Ryan and Co. would hunt us down and kill us. Having full time jobs is nothing. You'd be surprised but writing for the blog isn't THAT hard. The hard part is getting motivated. With me living in Columbus and Tom living in New York City, it's difficult to follow the Flyers when all we have to rely on is the Dayton Daily News or the gestapo over at UDPride. I know I speak for Tom when I say that it is the readers that make this blog so special and fun to do. Some of the comments have made me laugh out loud, while some have made me want to punch someone in the face (BrownsFlyer and PJF). All kidding aside, it's nice knowing that even though BrownsFlyer dislikes me, that he/she keeps coming back and reading. So thank you. As for the summer, Tom and I are going to take a break. We are going to limit our posts to one a week which will be sort of like an email conversation between the two of us. These emails will talk about a range of things that might include Dayton basketball (how the Dayton Athletics will surely increase ticket prices this summer), non-Dayton basketball news (how Jack Black is really not that funny), and the completely absurd (how chair covers for a wedding reception cost $4.00 a piece). Of course, if anything huge breaks, like Luke Fabrizius transferring (at least, that's what the email from his dad to Tom said), we will be all over it like stink on a monkey. We also have at least two interviews with former players set up (hint: B.R. and R.M.) that will be posted here in the next few weeks. In terms of next season, we are going to come back stronger and better than ever. We have reached out to someone and starting next season (possibly this summer), Jim O'Brien will be writing for the blog. Whether or not that is a bad omen, I guess we will find out. So thanks again for everything and please check in this summer. First up this/next week: "A look forward for UD Basketball." And to show there are no hard feelings, here is a picture of Sophia Bush that will get you through this difficult time. Take it away Sarah!
