Drake vs Illinois State

Re: Drake vs Illinois State

Too bad Drake waited so long to get their act together. They are not doing the conference any favors right now. They have some losses this year that would probably rank as the worst losses by a MVC team in several years. Given how they always give us trouble every year, they will probably catch us at least once this year and pin a loss on us.

Yeah, what are they thinking?!?
Don't they know that they are supposed to lay down and not compete with anyone else for the rest of the year.... for the good of the conference?

The Drake Bulldogs:

RPI KILLERS.

Seriously, this program does everything in its power to destroy the profile of the MVC, ESPECIALLY embarrassing themselves in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. This is par for the course for them.

Yeah. Drake's mission is to be weak. Not like Evansville or even UNI in the past. And how dare the WKU player throw in a prayer to win the game. Very embarrassing for Drake to lose in the first round. No Valley team should ever lose in the first round. oops.

Somebody let Ban Basketball know that he is now in second place.

What a stupid post.....I am in awe about the fact that you can apparently dress yourself in the morning. Advancements in care are truly amazing.

Must be the ONE from the class that was denied admission to Drake Law School. They let chimps in, but not this moped.

I'd say your post is a lot further off than his.

Do tell there Trav, Drake was always a fall back position when you couldn't get into the law schools of your choice.

Sorry if you went there, but Drake was one you applied to so you were guaranteed acceptance to a law school. Of course if any of the others you applied to accepted you, then you looked down your nose at them because you know that the only reason to go there was because you couldn't get in anywhere else (again sorry if I hit a nerve).

Now times are different than when I went to school. Maybe they have raised their standards. It certainly would not have taken much, They were like Phoenix University of Law Schools.

Again, sorry to all of those that are "proud" alums of Drake Law School.

But let's get back to hating them......Sorry

I don't care about Drake or it's law school. Your post appears to rip Marc's opinion, which I think is a valid thought.

A valid thought is Drake's goal is to lose? They may be incompetent over at the Drake Athletic Department, the adults that is, but I don't think it's valid to state their goal is to lose.

I don't think he was serious.....

The idea was that they have a tendency to do this...and even in a good year for them, they made the Valley look bad.

How? They won the way they played and lost the way they played. Not their fault nor would it be UNI's fault this season if the 2nd place team was 4 games behind at the end of the season. If you want to play in the NCAA tournament, win enough games to qualify. It's not the champion's fault only one team may get into the dance. More to the point, right now it's Illinois State's fault they got blown out at Drake. Play better.

Just how did they make the Valley look bad?

They did what they were supposed to do. In fact it's pretty damn similar to the way we are running through the league now.

A kid threw in a guarded 30 footer to beat them. If it's missed, then they win. We haven't been that close in any of our tourney games.

I am no Drake apologist. But wow, the facts about them just seem to be the enemy of some of the people on this board.

I think you just have tendency to take things too seriously. The point was that Drake has not done anything to help the Valley in recent years.

Actually it was only one year. Keno used it to get a big contract at Providence.

Look at all of the close losses that we had the year they won 28 games. If we had won the majority of those, we would have helped them.

I am not for Drake at all, but I do like the young players that they have, and I think that Phillips (coach???) is probably going to be competitive in the next couple of years.
