Jon Husted:

"As an All-American defensive back, he helped lead the Dayton Flyers to their 1989 Division III Football National Championship."

He is still a moron, barely lives in Ohio, and no one should vote for him.

I say this as a (now) retired UDayton professor, teaching there for 30 years.

I was wondering why Gruden is here, but then Wiki reminded me that he graduated from UDayton 30 years ago.

As part of finishing out the MPA program at UDayton, I am working on a community-engaged capstone with my cohort. This year, we're working with East End Community Services here in Dayton, Ohio.

For locals, I'd recommend checking out their volunteer opportunities - inspiring work and people!
