Drake Message Board

[onetuffshot]

Just got off the Drake message board. They don't appear to think the Braves pose much of a threat. Most predict a comfortable/easy win.
Then, during the 2nd half of the UNI-Creighton game on ESPN 2, in an interview with Seth Davis, Coach Keno Davis only want to talk about his 14-1 start. No mention of the Braves. Their board only wants to talk about their up-coming game with ISU on Saturday. Looks like a recipe for an upset to me. GO BRAVES

Add to that, the end of Gary Parrish's article:

"My advice: Get back to campus, ASAP, Drake students. I know classes don't start until next week and all. But would you really want to miss Saturday's game against Illinois State, particularly when it could be the 15th consecutive win and launch the Bulldogs into the unlikeliest of places, i.e., the national rankings?"

Awesome. I couldn't be happier that we're being overlooked. Drake has had one of the easiest schedules in the league thus far (2nd worst SOS-wise). They're good, but not so good that they can overlook a trip to Peoria. Even in this regime's early years, winning in Peoria wasn't easy. Regardless of what may have taken place the last 2 home games against sub-par competition, tomorrow night will be no cakewalk. I don't think Keno is naive enough to think that, but we'll see. It certainly sounds like some of the fans of a program that's had 1 winning season in 20 years are.

Thanks for trying to cheer us up, BB, but I have resigned myself to the fact that Bradley simply doesn't stand a chance tomorrow night against the juggernaut that is Drake.
How can the 1-4 Bradley possibly expect to compete with the 19th best (by RPI) team in the country. Let's face it, this would have to be the upset of the century for Bradley to pull off a win.

We can only hope they don't embarrass us.

Reminds me of when the KU fans came and payed us a visit. I seem to recall one poster providing us with video of a KU player Dunking the ball and telling us something like, thats what you're in for.

If ISU is the game they have following us it really IS a good time to be getting them.

I was excited about this game...now I'm REALLY excited.

Who is this Drake? I haven't heard of them before this year

[BUBraves06]

Ya know it's all well and good if the Drake fans decide to overlook us, but I highly doubt that Davis and the Drake players will have the same attitude. I'm just sayin ...

Which Drake is it?

Drake's SOS (Strength of Schedule) right now is 121, the 2nd worst in the MVC.
Their best noncon road game is a win over RPI 120 UW-M (a team that has shown is bad).
Especially if Josh Young isn't 100%, then I think we can expose Drake.

"Is that a...(gulp) Drake's Coffee Cake?"

"Yep, that your Big Boy. I've got another one...but I'm savin' it for later!"

The line in today's USA Today has Drake as only a 2 point favorite. I guess Vegas is expecting a closer game than the Drake fans are
