The Madness of March as Experienced Through an Alumni’s Eyes
For schools, especially colleges and universities, I can’t imagine anything much more annoying than alumni.
Whether the alumnus is a big donor (not me) or a little donor (sometimes me), donors always seem to want something.
I want some wins for the University of Dayton in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (well, wins for ALL their men’s and women’s sports but focusing now on men’s basketball).
The great news today was that Coach Anthony Grant’s 2024 Flyer’s had a very strong season and became one of two Atlantic 10 teams to punch their ticket into the big dance.
All that means for me is that the Tournament Madness is a little more fun for me and my family.
No, we are not a big basketball family but UD helps make this time of year more fun when they get in the tournament. That’s all.
And the days before the tournament starts (like the days before the regular season schedule of my Buffalo Bills), we can each dream big and imagine all the possibilities of winning it all! 🙂
That’s the way it is with most annoying alums like me. 😉
For the players, staff and families of the team within my Catholic university, I hope they all enjoy this time in their lives in the same way I enjoyed my time at UD in the 80’s (especially my time at WVUD-FM {where this broadcasting and voiceover journey all meshed together with me and UD} – that’s me on-the-air in the back of that graphic).
Win or lose, #GoFlyers // #LetsFly .
