To honor the incredible success of the Drake Bulldogs---20 straight wins and counting---I
thought I'd drop a few pictures of great Drake basketball moments throughout history into my blog this week. Hope you enjoy.

Andy and Shawn made it back from Normal, Illinois. After calling twice to tell me they couldn't believe how many cars they had passed in the ditch, they called me to tell me they were now in the ditch. Fortunately some nice people from Urbandale took pity on our stranded travelers and drove them the final two hours to Des Moines. Shawn and Andy even made it to Wells Fargo Arena for the first Van Halen song.

Sammy or David Lee? I'd rather listen to Sammy and see Diamond Dave in concert.

College football signing day does nothing for me. You just never know what you have until several years later, and every coach says they "really like their class".

Iowa State would be a much better basketball team this season with Lucca Staiger. The guy can flat out shoot the three like you can't believe, and the Clones need that threat desperately.

Leave Britney alone.

It's good to have Dick Vitale back, even if he is a little quieter.
