Dayton has sold out their allotment of tickets for Sundayâs game. Theyâre expecting close to 2,000. EVERYBODY get the word out⌠come to the game. Get your friends to come to the game.
Alumni, even if you havenât been coming to âprotestâ (worst excuse ever) get your asses to the game on Sunday. Be there and BE LOUD⌠Both sides.
If we let a team from O-****ing-hio out-loud us in our own arena, then we might as well just disband our athletics program and start holding classes online.
wow, thatâs impressive. weâre still gonna be louder than them regardless since theyâll be in the upper bowl but theyâre definitely gonna be heard from.

Thatâs why we need to pack the house⌠DROWN THEM OUT!
Students, alumni⌠all of us⌠start yelling at the tip and DONâT SHUT UP!
many of these fans will be traveling from ohio. thatâs impressive. dayton is farther away than cincinnati. the tarholes donât even travel that far that well.
[QUOTE=thelew1014;383395]They have quite possibly one of the biggest followings in college basketball.
Not in terms of numbers, but in terms of traveling and loyalty. Theyâre like the Deadheads of the college basketball world.[/QUOTE]good and accurate analogy. they sell out almost every game too. and they travel better than any team in the acc or socon.

I honestly donât know much about them. I donât remember them being in the tournament recently but I could be wrong. Do they have a better history then us?
Dayton has an excellent program and the support is overwhelming. Their arena is huge (18k-20k?) and they always sellout. The town supports the team, regardless of the fact that they get no respect (21-2âŚgetting votes. JOKE). I bet their local media gives them respect, though, and thatâs probably been the biggest aid.

Little over 13k, still a big arena, but not quite modern. The city of Dayton supports both its teams in Wright State and Dayton, but the Flyers along with the Muskies are certainly two of the top 4 programs in the state as far as fan support goes (and they might even rank ahead of Cinci these days).
UD Arena has hosted several NCAA Tournament Regionals and is the typical site of the NCAA Play in Game.
Wasnât there almost a fight a few years ago when their students tried to walk around our track in the arena chanting? I donât remember if Iâm getting the details right, but something about situation that feels familiar.

That was Gerorge Washinton, the year they had one loss going into the conference tournament. First year in the A-10. 6000 people showed up at Halton Arena for a team that was ranked at least eigth in the country. 4pm, ESPN national Saturday of rivalry week. That was the day I knew we would never go big time, and were falling fast.
If somebody gives me a free ticket, I might go. Not paying to watch us this year, sorry.

Put up or shut up.
After this comment, everything you have ever said anti-Lutz means nothing.
Unless you live out of town, if youâre not going to the games then quit your damn complaining. Go be a Tar Heel fan.
