WELCOME TO THE RED SCARE...

Community  ∙  Enthusiasm  ∙  School Spirit  ∙  Athletics

Intimidation  ∙  Recognition  ∙  Pride  ∙  Common Cause

The University of Dayton’s largest student body organization 

A group of enthusiastic UD students united in a common cause: to do whatever it takes to show UD pride through support of The University of Dayton’s athletics. Our school is known for its community, and each athletic event provides us with an opportunity to display that unity for all to see.  

The unbreakable bond that holds us all together has been forged through years of tradition and athletic excellence. With your help, we will strengthen our reputation as one of the toughest athletic programs in the country, and once again bring recognition to the Flyer Faithful. We are the largest student organization for a reason. 

Together our intimidating numbers will strike fear and uncertainty into the hearts of our opponents.

 

"We knew what this was coming into it. It's a tough place to play. . ."
-Pittsburgh Men's Basketball Coach Jamie Dixon following UD's 80-55 victory over the #6 Panthers in 2007

"My hats off to Dayton. They will probably be in the NCAA Tournament and may win a game. This was a great experience to play on the road in this type of environment."
-Illinois Volleyball Coach Don Hardin following UD's come-from-behind 3-2 victory in 2007

 

"Playing at Dayton is just a great environment. I was trying to tell our kids about their fans...Their game day management...they way they put on a game is a big time atmosphere. We were trying to explain to the players that they are coming to a real class atmosphere. They had to be ready to play."
-Duquesne Men's Basketball Coach Danny Nee following UD's 85-63 victory in 2006

 

"What a great crowd, great environment. Their team can really feed off the crowd. For Xavier to come up to UD Arena and win, you've got to have warriors and play a great game. Because it's not going to be an easy game for your team to win."
-Xavier Men's Basketball Coach Sean Miller following UD's 66-62 victory in 2006

 

"It's a tough place to come in and win."
-Xavier Men's Basketball Coach Sean Miller following UD's 59-55 victory in 2005

 

"This is the way it should be. They cheer for their team. At many other places there is stupidity with the fans, but not here."
-St. Joseph's Men's Basketball Coach Phil Martelli following UD's 58-54 victory in 2005
