Worse yet, Drake had a 13 point lead early in the 2nd half.

Oh well. might be better for us in the long run actually. Nice to have the top teams in the conference keep winning the ones they should. If Creighton were to hit the wall now, those 2 losses might slide from the "good" loss category to not-so-good losses...

[GoCats05]

I just don't want to end in a tie with Creighton. Creighton is not a team that is going to slide. If Drake could have pulled that game out would have been sweet. However, Creighton still has to go to Miss St and to Witchita. We need to win Tues game. That should be our total focus right now. Come on Panthers!!

I suppose this loss was also the officials fault?

It does seem like the calls start to go against you, and the breaks start to go against you,'' Drake coach Tom Davis said. "That's just the nature of the sport.''

You're right, above is a quote from Davis after the game. He has never lost a game, they are always taken away from him.

WSU is gonna take down Creighton for us...we have to win out to win this thing, and if we do so we'll stand alone at the end of the year.

Creighton winning is good for the Valley. If one of the top 4 loses to one of the bottom 4...it will cause the conference RPI to plummit. We don't need that to happen.

I used to respect Dr. Tom quite a bit. If this is true, I don't know. Of course you would think the Register reporters would hear this so often, they would tune him out after awhile. Panther is right about how the top 6 losing to the bottom 4 hurts RPI. SIU dropped around 10 places in RPI after losing to Indiana State.

Dr Tom was a Hawk so it makes sense that he has never lost a game. Iowa football hasn't ever lost a game either. I still like him anyway.

Yep, that's true. The refs gave up that punt return for a TD as well as the pick for 6 (or was it a fumble return? I forgot to care.) in the Outback Bowl... and of course, the onside call.

Sorry, that was uncalled for as has no place here.
