Great article. If the accolades come from your peers, it means more than anything.

Ted Kissell--"aggressive.....forthright.....fiercely loyal...extremely bright....has done some amazing things........vision and aspiration.....creative perspective...."

And those words come from competing AD's in the A10 and the former Exec Director of the NCAA.

A terrific asset to the University of Dayton.

	Ted Kissell TED KISSELL Athletic Director at the University of Dayton from 1993-2008. Helped spearhead a renewed commitment to athletic excellence by hiring Oliver Purnell to resurrect the men's basketball program, and emphasized major non-revenue sports to raise UD's profile. Helped UD receive an invitation to the A10 Conference, developed new baseball, softball, soccer, football, and basketball facility upgrades, and achieved NCAA appearances in men's basketball, men's and women's soccer, and volleyball -- the latter three being program's firsts. Also served as UD's Vice President and improved overall academic performance among student athletes.

Those are nice things to say, but Bobinski complimenting Kissell is like Colonel Hogan complimenting Colonel Klink on his record of zero prisoner escapes.

Agreed -what ad is going to say anything negative about a guy who is retiring?? Nice article, but no ad is going to give any reporter an honest opinion on any subject. If they did that, they would be out of a job.

[RitaOhio]

one other take - interesting that bobinski says that everything TK did had a UD slant - wonder if he lost some credibility in the room because of that?? I know in my work, there are people who always have an angle, and you tend to be more cautious of them because of that??

Jan. 2nd there will be parties at houses on campus ... and not just post new-years' ... I'll get addresses and let you know every toast will be to Tim.

To me I look forward to basketball, I dont chatter about the upcoming non-conference soccer schedule or whatever ... and I believe that is almost everyone on here. Will I go to a game or two and support UD, hell yes! But I care about basketball.

When you have an AD here for 17 freaking years and not one Ncaa victory ... then I am sorry, bottom line you are not getting it done. Its time to stop accepting mediocrity, the money UD gets there is no reason we should not be more successful.

New AD, New blood, New IDEAS.

During X-Mas break the ghetto will be hopping, because the old crap is gone and the new era will bring exciting new possibilities.


So cheers to a new philosophy and prosperus years to follow!

	Ghetto UD GHETTO Student neighborhood surrounding the campus of the University of Dayton. Unique to UD, the Ghetto gets its name from the nickname students gave the depression and war-period row houses the university owns and rents to Dayton students during their course of study. The landlord arrangement and compact nature of the neighborhood homes create a camaraderie among students outside of class that provides personal space away from classrooms and on-campus dorms. Parties and celebrations on Ghetto streets are legendary and have made David Letterman's Top-10 List. A significant effort has been made in recent years to curb hooliganism and renovate older homes.

I can assure you that the student body gives a rats a$$ about the AD whomever it is or will be. The students will be partying long before Jan comes around. Victories from all the teams that TK has built up as well as the success of this years mens bball team. And oh btw the students will cheer and celebrate just about anything. Trust me they love to party.

2000 points awarded 1k for the screen name, and 1k for the tremendous Hogan's Heroes reference.

85% of the student body couldnt give you the first name of the Athletic Director, nevermind the last.

At any university.

Just like 85% couldnt tell you who the Governor of Ohio is.

If you're such a big UD basketball fan I would think you would be at the UD Toledo game that night.

Well since I graduated last year and I am a Assistant SID for a school I wish to be un named ... b/c some people are jerks on this website because of past comments on ud bball (it happens, its sad) they take it to a personal level ... I may not be able to make it to the toledo game ... but if I can keep moving up, maybe someday (decade down the road) you will see what I am talking about with my past ideas on scheduling.


But I will be visiting Ohio this week for a wedding and stopping on campus to see my friends who havent graduated. All of them know who Ted was and you can be sure we will be toasting, roasting and enjoying a chapter closed in UD Men's Bball that was a long wait coming (notice I said UD basketball, not volleyball or soccer).


And Jan. 2 I am sure all of us will somehow raise a beer wherever we are.

[THirt]

Stay classy.

Ted was? I hate to let you know but Ted still is.

Hey Binnie Bombs tell us what school it is where we can follow your progress. LOL

I'm sure everyone on this board hopes that if you ever become a AD its not at Dayton.

Since when do day care centers hire SID's?

That's low, dude.

[BallgameJohnny]

its rollo, you expect anything else?

[Binnie Bombs 33]

Haha, its cool.

Yeah, I agree I go nuts and stuff on here. But like 75% of the people on this board, you can type whatever you want with no repercussions of anyone but your friends knowing who you are.

All I know is I am the total opposite in person ... and really only talk like this about sports with my close friends. Let's just say my image is very good and I am very good at what I do.

Im not going to let out my personal information, but I am an Asst. SID, 3 months out of college ... goal is to be a head SID at this school in 8-12 months since the head is moving up ... and I really would like to be the Asst. SID at a D-1 school (like a Dayton or Butler type) within the next 20 months or so.

How funny would it be at a press conference at UD, when I reveal my alias when announced as the head SID, 5 yrs down the road. Hahahaha.

The University would never let that happen.
