Duquesne Dukes Fan Forum / Friday v Dayton

**Posted by townsonkid** 1/11/2024 10:54 am

ESPN matchup gives us a 40% chance of winning. Kind of surprised it was that high.

Our guys need to come out calm, and not get sped up trying to be something they arent. Play the game, defense wins games like this. Cant take bad 25' shots that lead to fast breaks by Dayton. Keep composure, and might have a good game. Act foolish and get ran out the gym.

Will be neat to at least see a full Cooper Fieldhouse, even if 60% of the people are Dayton fans.

Dont go to the game and sit there like a rock.Dukes need support and we need to raise a lot of hell..Dayton fans are not our friends so we got to show our school spirit like it was on March 20th 1955 Madison Square Garden and kick their ass just like Si and Dick did in 1955.Cheer hard and show the nation who we are.
WE ARE THE FABULOUS FIGHTING DUKES FROM THE FABULOUS CITY OF PITTSBURGH.

We are the city that made Mickey Mantle cry all the way back to New York in 1960 when Maz hits the most famous home run in baseball history.We are the team thats going to make the Dayton Flyers into the Dayton Cryers with a 6 hour long crying trip home back to a minor league city known as Dayton.

You’ll be on TV tomorrow Stew… need you to get the students involved near the end of each timeout. But please Stew, keep your shirt on. (:

They have T-shirts for the first 750 students to arrive. I would be impressed with that showing. They better be loud!!! At this level a hostile environment makes big difference.

FAM have to disagree. STU without shirt & bare chested will definitely make top 10 highlights on ESPN. I say STU has a chance to be a national icon.Andy Warhol 15 minutes of fame. Shirtless or bust. Go STU 👍

Dayton fans want all the tickets. Will they want all the T-shirts, too?

The girl who took part in the shooting contest was more successful any of the Dukes with the exception of Jake!
