I guess we will be brown bagging it in the car when we get there, lol.

Who's up for some tailgating? It sounds like it will be up to 13 degrees, HEAT WAVE!!!

Ron Santo, I'm not a Cubs fan but I like tuning in when they are bad to listen to him. I've heard him say "Oh Jesus" about 10 times in one game, haha.

I guess I will have to stop bar a bar after the game as opposed to before it since it's so early this year.

Peggy's is the place for good fun. Even better however and possibly the dive mentioned above with KILLER nachos and such is the "Library". Both are good times with the right attitude.

The campus itself is great, go off the beaten path a little and it changes. Hence the divide in styles of Drake Fans in attendance.

I've heard from a few Drake alumni that Peggy's has lost a lot of character with a change in ownership. Enough that the alums don't go much anymore when in town. I was also home during the day of the Drake vs. Iowa game, and drove through the neighborhood. Peggy's wasn't open a few hours before the tip, which I consider stupid but I don't own the place.

The Library is located at 3506 University, right across from the southwest end of the campus. It's on the opposite end of campus from the Knapp, but has been renowned for years for great nachos. The owner's a real nice guy too, if it's still Chip.

To my knowledge, West End is still the closest venue to the Knapp, at 2309 Forest. Keep in mind I didn't go to Drake, and no longer live in Des Moines, so this info could be dated...meaning other places have since opened. I'm just going off memory of the neighborhood.
