The Final Five
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- No, the old dude didn’t lose track of time. I do realize that the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game was last week. And no, I didn’t forget how to count, either. Villanova and Michigan did indeed square off in the final game of the Final Four. The...

Nothing Ever Really Gets Deleted On The Internet
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- I recently lamented that the column I wrote back in January of 2007 about Christian Dawkins, the renegade agent at the center of the recruiting controversy, had disappeared into the ether.

Things Really Are Not What They Seem: The Christian Dawkins Story
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- Back in January of 2007, I wrote a “From the Swamp” piece entitled “Things are not always what they seem” about my email communications with the operator of a HS recruiting website. The site in question had written some negative reviews on UD recruit Devin Searcy and...

Don't Know What To Say
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) – The UD Flyers traveled to Fairfax, VA on Wednesday evening and put up their worst effort of the season in an 85-67 drubbing at the hands of George Mason. Fortunately for “FTS” I didn’t feel like paying GMU to watch this debacle, so I just followed along on Live...

The Gentle Giant
Chandler, Arizona
It was a cold February morning like most February mornings in Ohio, but today was going to be special. The following day, February 9th was going to be my son’s 5th birthday. Because it was his birthday we were going to do something he normally didn’t get to do during the week and that was go to...

Close Only Counts In Horseshoes, Hand Grenades And Atomic Bombs
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- The UD Flyers came “close, but no cigar” in their road loss to UMass on Saturday afternoon. “FTS” happened to be in Erie, PA and got the unexpected bonus of being able to catch a game on Spectrum Sports that originally figured to be a Larry and Bucky special for...

One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- In his 1973 album There Goes Rhymin’ Simon songwriter Paul Simon included a ditty called “One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor” and that about sums up the situation with your Dayton Flyers.
The VCU game marked the near pinnacle of perfection in...

Hit And Run
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- To stick with the baseball analogy employed in the previous “FTS”, if the Dayton Flyers’ Duquesne debacle was a “swing and miss” then their SBU victory was most assuredly a “hit and run.” The Red and Blue hit the Bonnies upside the head for the better part of 40...

Swing And Miss
PITTSBURGH (PA) -- The University of Dayton Flyers opened their A-10 slate on the road and faced the improving Duquesne Dukes in the always challenging confines of the on-campus Palumbo Center.
It did not go well.
With students off on break, one can see why Duquesne AD Dave...
