BEVERLY HILLS (MI) — Given that it is “Throwback Thursday” thought it might be a good idea to take a little gander in the rear-view mirror before the Flyers throw it down with Texas A&M in San Juan, PR.

To the wayback machine, Sherman!

— Here is an “FTS” from the last time that UD played in PR back in 2009:

— Looking ahead to the future:

If all of the cards fall into place, we could get a WVU/UD final here in prime time on ESPN 2 from San Juan on Sunday. Scoochie vs. Staten would be nice to see, no?

UD will be playing this time next year in The Orlando Classic at Dizzy World in a field that is to include our friends from The School to the South. Hmmm!

— It’s 20 degrees outside and snowing here in MI so I wore a sweater vest to work. It ain’t red but so what — Go Flyers!

That’s it “From the Swamp.”
