Up Next: Drake

Re: Up Next: Drake

DrakeNation seems pretty shook by the fact that we are being classless "Pig Farmers" for "disrespecting" their program in this thread. I don't even know what to say. I guess you can't cure insecurities by paying tens of thousands of dollars more for your education.

I guess I just don't understand where or how we are pig farmers. Oh well, I guess.

Re: Up Next: Drake

These have been really cool graphic promotions this year...why can't we have athletic posters that are just as cool and exciting?

The posters are coming back this year, and they are being done by the university rather than outsourced. Football posters unveiled for the spring game. I don't know what they are going to look like, but I do know they are ramping up the marketing game again... intentionally. I expect improvement in athletic marketing to be noticeable over the next few years.

We have some delusional 'UNI Koolaid drinkers' here, but the only way someone can stand to back D+ is by drinking the Koolaid. Drake fans are typically few and far between, even in Des Moines. I found it funny that some of their fanbase is upset by our 'supposed' superiority. UNI owns D+, period. All time head to head as well as recent history back this up.

UNI holds the head-head 39-24. We've won 9 of 10 and 4 of the last 5 in Des Moines. We will likely win tonight as well.

They can call us 'Pig Farmers' if it makes them feel better to lose to Pig Farmers than Panthers.

Re: Up Next: Drake

This is the first game at Drake in the past 4 years that I'll miss.

Have we won the last four at the Knapp? Get a cardboard cutout and buy a ticket.

Re: Up Next: Drake

Where do they get pig farmers from? UNI is an awesome business and teaching school...what does pig farming have to do with anything?

Hate the Drake.....

Irrational name calling is all they've got. UNI has owned them in the only two sports that matter to both schools, football and men's basketball. I don't even consider it a rivalry anymore, because UNI is vastly superior in both football and basketball.

We lost by 3 in the 10-11 season after orear broke his foot IIRC

But they will tell of their dominance until the 1980's

So true. When we were DII, they had a chance...

Re: Up Next: Drake

We lost one at home a few years ago. Egelseder missed two free throws at the end of the game one of which could have tied.

Well 90% of their alumni base can't remember anything after the 80's...or before it. In all fairness to those fans Drake has been all but forgettable ever since then.

I still expect a tough fight from the Dawgs. I believe they have more than a fighting chamce. Especially if our road form rears it's ugly head again

Re: Up Next: Drake

Re: Up Next: Drake

I have a feeling the 'Pig Farmers' will win this one by double digits. Go Pig Farmers!
