Questions For Dayton Fans

[scoscox]

LOL, are you a teenager?

You Dayton fans aren't the brightest bunch. Dayton will never be a BE member. I'd personally take St. Louis and UMass first. Even take Boston U before Dayton. Accept what you are, a midmajor shithole

Apparently he's in his sixties. Why are we even allowing him to post? He's a self-described troll.

Easy trigger , your the troll. Django started this thread with a Question to Dayton Fans. I have and you can go check never posted on this board. MY first response gives my answer to his question. The haters them jumped in , calling us cryers and other negative stuff about UD. The smart people on the board who want a an even better conference have given posts on why and why not UD. Rant and rave all you want. Dayton is about to have a great year and you will be a part of it every step of the way. And the same folks who say UD will never get in, go review there posts about UConn and Expansion. They got it dead wrong and about to be wrong again. I will only stay on this thread and engage in good debate over the original question in the debate. If you don’t like it give good reasons , you don’t have to demean our Great School. Now if you want to keep taking shots at UD or my posts, which lol get so far under your thin skins by all means continue. In a couple of years we will all be one happy family and families argue!!! See ya in March....we’ll maybe a few of you.

My pipe dream is to have UD, VCU and SLU and a few others start their own better version of the A-10 since it seems so difficult to kick out the bottom tier. I can see a BB dominant group of us that could give the BE some competition- and on the occasionally "up year" maybe even a peer conference for NCAAT bids. The dynamics would be interesting with OOC, etc.

Who would be available to join this conference that would raise it to that level? I think that dream died when we left the A-10 with Temple and Butler.

That's why its a pipe dream. But that said- the A10 has a decent enough foundation today of 5 - VCU, Dayton, Bonnies, Rhody & Davidson have a 4 year average group rpi lower by a bit from even the BE (74.1 vs. all of BE at 75.5 less UCONN). Now when our friends from SLU and Richmond get back on track (which both are fully capable of doing) this a very nice foundation of 7 BB centric schools with a very nice geography. Not sure what the NCAA requires for conference size, but I think we could find 1-2 like minded schools with upside. It's those other A10 bottom feeding +200 rpi schools playing in HS gyms dragging us down.

Yea, but how do they compare to the top 5 schools in the BE over that time? Because that's what you'd need those schools to perform like if they have a chance of challenging

I've already given good reasons and you've continued to troll. Trolls are not allowed, so I would ask the mods to get rid of you unless you want to change your act

Hang on big fella, I am not saying the hypothetical improved A10 re-do conference will be superior to the BE. I said "I can see a BB dominant group of us that could give the BE some competition- and on the occasionally "up year" maybe even a peer conference for NCAAT bids". So if the BE say had 5 teams in the dance, maybe the new improved A10 could strive for that in an "up-year". My point is simple- the A10 shelves are not completely empty- but the A10 model is completely broken due to the bottom half and the conference's inability to deal with it. BTW- the top 5 BE teams rpi 4 year average is 36.05 lead by Villanova (a ridiculous 6.5) and X (28.5).

1. You are a fan of the Dayton Cryers. You guys are well known for believing that you are better than you're not, and living through the misery of the off season as you yet again ponder all your failures. You anoint yourselves pre-season champs almost every year and then you all end up crying and pouting when you again stink it up in conference play. At least that's how it was in the A10 when Xavier was winning it in most years. You're doing it again here, blabbering about how VD is going to have a great year this year.

2. Your delusion shines through clearly as you have the audacity to mention VD in the same sentence as UConn when it comes to getting into the BE.

3. You wouldn't know a good debate if it licked you in the face.

4. Georgetown is a great school. UD is not a great school - - sorry, you put it in caps for some stupid reason ("Great School").

5. Dysfunctional families argue.

Finally, you may want to consider another possibility when it comes to fan reaction to your posts around here . You seriously aren't getting under anyone's skin. It's actually the other way around. You make yourself a punching bag. You've brought yourself over here as a Whac-A-Mole and believe me, you're not the mallet. You are making the University of Dayton and its fan base look stupid. It's like Xavier is in the role of Bugs Bunny here and VD is in the role of Daffy Duck and and its duck season and Elmer just walked up shot your beak off - - again. No your place. You have to have good material and an effective delivery if you want to get under anyone's skin, if that's your objective. Believe me, you have neither.

And getting under each other's skin isn't the modus operandi around here anyway. This isn't a dysfunctional board when it comes to actual Big East member school fans. We get along very well over here as message boards go. That comes with coming from schools that belong together.

So, UD will be in the Big East IN A COUPLE OF YEARS! As a dysfunctional 63-year old who comes from a dysfunctional family and UD, I trust your peeps keep the family gun and the pills out of site when you melt down, because you'll be melting down in a couple of years.

Calm down, I can see your eyes bulging and the spit coming out of your mouth. Your right, can’t get under your skin. Your post can used in a anger management class.

Your cryer educaton is showing. Ever heard of contractions?

You made it to easy.

I really don’t care anything about X but to act like Xavier has taken the high road is crazy. Maybe y’all can “zip em up” or send watermelons to parents of players again?

Competitive and challenging are basically synonyms. I understood what you meant, but if you want to have that kind of conference, those teams you listed are gonna have to be way more consistent. I'd imagine if your presidents wanted to do it they could do what the Big East Catholic 7 did back in 2012 and separate themselves.
