My best article to date. Check it out

Don't even pay attention to the idiots that posted on your article. There's a guy, "Bob", who posted on mine, who at least is having a reasoned debate.

Go ahead and flag "Chris"' comment as "offensive"; I already have. Both of our articles probably ended up on a Dayton message board somewhere (and I apologize for covering so much of the same ground -- I hadn't seen your article when I wrote mine!). It's sad that so many of them make their school look so bad by weak, anonymous attacks.

And I'm impressed you had the guts to post that article before the Xavier game, as well.

Dayton may make the tournament, but a one-point win over 3-17 Fordham -- which is a habit and a trend, not an anomaly -- has them circled on my bracket for a first-round exit.

If they make it in (which they would now, of course).
