HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN with a smaller school IN A small CITY WITH A BIG ARENA?

I answered my own question, small city.

 

[BrookJersey Redmen]

only minor surgery is surgery performed on someone else.

Woody Allen (I think) in his standup said about medical stuff, when it is on YOU: It's surgery, when it's on someone else:, It's a procedure.

Compared to NYC it's small, but the Dayton Metropolitan Area has over 800,000 people in it.

Plus, it's only 50 miles from Cincy, and 60 miles from Columbus. They probably get some of that crowd too (non-Xavier, Cincy, and OSU fans, anyway).

800,000 people in greater Dayton, never would have guessed that. Like Syracuse, area residents all are fans even though they didn't go to the School. No competing pro teams, no Broadway, etc., etc.

It’s a reference to this recent thread:

"Not Columbus" Day – SJU...

I find the school's decision to fudge around the issue of calling the Columbus Day holiday a "Fall Mini-break" a little disingenuous. I disagree with the decision and don't like the communication. What are the thoughts around here...

Whadda you mean ? No Pro Sports ?
The Dayton Day Dreamers are a big draw in Major League Roller Derby .

The minor league team in Dayton also draws really well. They often have the highest average attendance in all of minor league baseball and the stadium is right on the river.

Once something becomes a part of the culture, the inertia is tough to stop. It definitely helps having less options.

Being a Packer fan love that story but to me it isn’t really a joke because that is the order of importance of things.
