UD b-ball coach trying to help charity nab $100,000
From Staff writer Meredith Moss
Folks at the local Ronald McDonald House are thrilled that University of Dayton men’s basketball coach Archie Miller has named their organization his charity of choice in a national online competition.
The Infiniti Coaches’ Charity Challenge permits individuals to vote every 24 hours for their favorite coach.
If Miller receives the most votes, the Ronald McDonald House will receive $100,000, enough to provide 700 nights of service for families with hospitalized children.
Click here to cast your vote. According to the rules, fan participation will determine the ultimate winner over an eight-week period that began Jan. 18. For the first six weeks, four brackets of 12 coaches will be paired against each other, with the winners from each group moving onto the next round in week seven and the final round in week eight.
Those who’d like to learn more can go to ESPN.com/Infiniti. Look for Coach Miller listed in the Midwest region. If you already have an ESPN account, you can submit your user name and password. If not, you’ll need to register in order to vote. The winning coach will be announced March 9.

Don’t waste your time…your e-mail address is required to vote, so that they can sell it to spammers and you will end up getting tons of junk e-mail every day!

@ Stan: With your loser’s glass half-empty attitude, you must be a real piece of work. You gotta believe man!

@Stan…I’ve had my information registered with ESPN for a while. I never get anything from them. Good luck to Archie and Ronald McDonald House. Regardless…a charity will get a wonderful donation!

Vote! But before you do, set up a seperate email account for this sort of thing. A little spam sent to a secondary email account is well worth helping the House get $100,000!
