BEVERLY HILLS (MI) – While glancing at the UDPride.com home page recently, I noticed that the last edition of “FTS” was posted pre-Memorial Day. Looks like it just might be time to empty the “Other Bookmarks” folder of all the links that I have been saving, eh?

Here we go:

– “Work hard; play hard.” That is a great theme for the off-season for next year’s edition of the Dayton Flyers:

– As fans, is there any better slogan for us than “Is it November yet?”:

– While we are watching videos, here are two more that never go out of season:

For Dayton:

– These pictures tell you all that you need to know about AG and his staff:

They attended the graduation of the walk-ons! When you play for AG, the commitment really does go both ways.

– Villanova, Dayton prioritizing Class of 2024 point guard Jacob Theodosiou:

– Gotta love this graphic of the HS rankings of the last 10 NCAA POY winners:

– Speaking of Obi One, this headline doesn’t instill confidence that he and his buddy IQ will see more minutes for the NYK this season:

Knicks’ free-agent signings could limit roles of Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley

– A lot was expected of Obi when he went pro, but who saw Jordy Tshimanga putting up these kind of numbers? Granted, it’s the the Saskatchewan Rattlers in the Canadian Elite basketball league, but still:

– Love this collage of the All Ohio AAU players who have made it to the League. See if you can pick out all of the Flyers in it (answer at the bottom):

– ICYMI, Jablo recently posted a great feature on Malachi’s recovery and off-season workouts:

One thing I have noticed recently is that Jablo is going a lot more in-depth in his articles on the Flyers, which is definitely a good thing. Kinda puts to rest the idiotic notion espoused by UDPride MB poster Maddog07 in a game thread last season that Jablo’s pieces were nothing that couldn’t be deduced by looking at a box score.

– Anyone up for some hoops on a full-size floating basketball court?:

– Ray Liotta passed away recently. While best known for his role as Henry Hill in Goodfellas, he will also be remembered as Shoeless Joe Jackson in Field of Dreams. In memorializing Liotta, Kevin Costner revealed that this scene was real:

– July 4th was the 10-year anniversary of the greatest fireworks show in history, when San Diego accidentally shot off 7,000 fireworks at once:

– If you’re over 30, you’ll be able to hear this tweet:

– How many of these things have you done in your lifetime?

I went 35 out of 50.

– Answer: Brian Roberts, Chris Johnson and Jordan Siebert.

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
