Drake


Recommended Posts

Since our team will most likely leave us out in the cold once the postseason rolls around (again), I think I'm going to be rooting for Drake in the MVC Tournament and NCAA Tournament. From what I can tell, they kind of remind me of the 93-94 Billikens - short, scrappy, good 3-point shooters, basically came out of nowhere to start off the season with a long winning streak (after a loss to St. Mary's), about to end a long NCAA Tournament drought, etc.

I'm normally with you, but not on this one. I'll take whoever comes out of the A10- so basically Xavier and hopefully one or two others. I've always stuck with the "once you lose, root for the conference" philosophy. And the last conference I want to see succeed is the Valley. If Drake made a run, we'd hear some more annoying noise out of the group that thinks the Valley would have been a better move for SLU than the A10 (it kills me that they actually still exist).

I should clarify - the A-10 is still my top priority, and I'll definitely root for X and any of our other conference mates in the Big Dance. I just think Drake is kind of a fun underdog to root for, Valley stuff aside.

Box, I believe a picture of the Oregon scenery is in order for your comments in this thread. Cheering for a Valley school...? Hey, why don't you feed my dog some rat poison while your at it.

Reminds me of "Hey! You can come over and f@ my sister!" or whatever it is from Full Metal Jacket.

HAHAHAHAHA check out the late hit on Manning, he just goes FLYING off the screen, right as Joe Buck says, "Manning stays on his feet!"
