With the signing week having come and passed us our team has welcomed almost 40 new teammates that will join us this fall. The most exciting part about this is a few of our new teammates were with us for the Drake UNI basketball game and our team got to be presented with some of our freshly signed class of 2011. Our team enveloped the stands with a presence that exploded into public view on Saturday at the men’s basketball game. (The game was shown on ESPNU) When the televisions panned the stands of the Knapp center student section our faces, some of which were masked in blue and white were screaming for our school. The game ended with a victory and our school, our team and the Drake family. The stands attacked the energized basketball team with a barrage of backslaps, hugs, and cheers. A tunnel of excitement formed for our fellow Drake student athletes on what I can only guess it the biggest stage of their season. Our team has been making another step in becoming a cornerstone on the student life of the school and showing this school spirit is a large part of that. Soon the Drake football team will be on a stage like this one. Soon Drake football will have thousands of people all over the world watching it take part in history and that excitement starts here in our Drake family. Thanks for the love, thanks for the support, go Drake Bulldogs!
