Tom P. O'Brien
I just wanted to let you all know that we lost a true Flyer Faithful this morning. Tom is my dad and has been a season ticket holder for 20+ years and single handedly taught me everything I know about Dayton Baskeball. While he was not a poster on UDPride, he was a frequent visitor. We would both spend hours a day here looking for the latest news to see who could find it first.
Tom had several aliases when calling in to Flyer Feedback just so they wouldn't refuse to put him on to avoid him complaining about the zone offense and poor man defense. We have been coaching next to each other from the first row of section 405 for years just to see most of our suggestions completely ignored and the Flyers still pull out a victory.
He most recently applied for the Assistant Coach position for the Women's basketball team with his resume consisting of 6th grade CYO Champs!!! All he wanted was a rejection letter that he could frame and place down in his man cave with the rest of his UD gear.
He was as diehard and loyal as it gets and I know he will truly miss his Flyer family.
