UDPride’s Greatest Hits
Twenty-five years is a lengthy time to do anything. That’s how long that yours truly has been penning “From the Swamp.” It’s been a labor of love, because as my esteemed editor Chris Rieman is quick to point out, “You get paid the same salary ($0) as me.” All good [.....]
It was August 22, 1901, and Orville and Wilbur Wright were on a train from Kitty Hawk, NC, back to their home on 7 Hawthorn Street in Dayton. The brothers were dejected after further glider testing on the dunes produced more questions than answers. Nothing was making sense and even [.....]
On Friday April 12, 2024, Donald J. Donoher -- clinging to the distinction of being the oldest living coach to have taken a team to a Final Four -- passed away peacefully at the age of 92. For a life well-traveled, well-fought, and his own special brew of fire, brimstone, [.....]

Since the early 1950's when Tom Blackburn led the Flyers to their first NIT appearance, an outsider couldn't think of UD without mentioning that they had a good basketball program. It was a program that won more game in [.....]
