Cheerleaders, blaring bands and sold-out arenas do not make a college rivalry. They add to the pomp and circumstance, but it takes much more for two teams truly to be called rivals.
A rivalry must have long-term intensity and no other series has more memorable moments, nail-biting games and passion as the one shared between the Dayton Flyers and Xavier Musketeers.
Now, the Flyer Faithful has its chance to share the best stories of the Dayton-Xavier rivalry and convey its passion.
On Thursday, Feb. 22, DaytonFlyers.com will publish the best stories from this sacred series. Be sure to include all of the information listed below with each submission.
The Flyers battle the Musketeers on Saturday from UD Arena at 6 p.m. EST in a game that can be followed on ESPNU. Fans can also follow the game online through Gametracker on DaytonFlyers.com.
