I'd have to agree with that. I actually think we will win on the road at Drake.

Ditto. I think we'll be able to grab a win AT Drake with Ruffin.

The Pantagraph is now reporting that Anthony Slack will likely be back this Saturday for ISU

and one other thing I feel compelled to say....the players for ISU and their fans (yes, that's you Cooksey & cpacmel) have been pretty classy during the first half of the MVC season.
Certainly you had every right to boast and get on BU a little, and yet I saw little of that.

As this article notes near the bottom, the Valley race is definitely tightening up a bit, and a whole bunch of teams are within a couple games battling for spots #2 through #7. I think it is going to be a good ending to what appeared early as a bad season for BU fans, and barring injury, 2nd place'll come down to SIU, BU, CU, and ISU.
