Flyers

The Dayton Flyers have cracked the top 25 in both polls this week. Congrats. In case you don't know, UD might be the best team in Ohio considering that Ohio State sucks, Cincinnati is well overrated and Xavier is not a sure thing. The Flyers return 4 starters from last year's A-10 championship squad and won the Maui Invitational earlier this season. Now at 6-0 they face several winnable games over the next couple weeks, but few will be easy games. Tonight they fact the Rajun Cajun's of Louisiana-Lafayette, always a tough matchup. IUPUI over the weekend, and they're no cakewalk either. Matchups at Cincinnati, at home vs. a very tough St. Louis squad, and a trip to Laramie to face Wyoming. It's unlikely the Flyers get out unscathed but it's possible this is not the only week they reach a lofty perch in the national rankings. Anyway, first things first and tonight's game will be a tough one. I'm rooting hard for the Flyers to continue their strong start. We'll see.
