- First win in the round of 64 in school history. First appearance in the round of 32 since 1971. Incredible. Some might say, “it just meant more!”
- How’s your Friday going? One of my 6 year olds was on my phone this morning. When I took it back, I saw that Elliot was in the middle of texting photos of himself to the head of Drake Public Safety. He also called Iowa’s AD once and FaceTimed Gary Barta twice. #ParentFail
- More great hospitality from @IASTATEAD & @CycloneATH! They did a great job of rolling out the red carpet - I mean, BLUE carpet - for @DrakeBulldogsFB tonight. Thank you!
- Couldn’t help but notice both @CycloneFB & @HuskerFBNation had games cancelled yesterday. Both teams might need a 12th game. Opponent, date & location could be tough to identify. Let’s play matchmaker: 2018 Bulldog Bowl featuring ISU vs Nebraska on Dec. 1 at Drake Stadium.
- Incredible practice court set up at @DrakeBulldogsMB team hotel by @Sam_Hawley20 and @DrakeManagers! Benches with coaches boxes and the @HyVee logos on the court, just like at Knapp Center are included. Sam & Co. are the team behind the team that has helped propel us this year.

- Not sure if I’ve ever been more proud of a team than @DrakeBulldogsFB today. What an amazing effort by all associated with the program. What we lack in scholarships, we more than made up for in heart. Thank you for representing @DrakeUniversity so well.
- I just received a text message from a great @DrakeAlumni & @DUBulldogClub member, moments after the final buzzer sounded. It simply read, “I’m so proud to be a Bulldog.” I’m guessing thousands echo his sentiment. To @DrakeBulldogsMB: Thank you.
- Have an extra guest for the drive back to Des Moines… Back to back to back @ValleyHoops champs! Left no doubt! Let’s go dancing, @DrakeBulldogsMB!
- Time to party like it's 1985! Really pleased to create a memory for our coaches and players. Many people had input on this decision and this creates an opportunity to end our season on an incredible stage. What a great experience this will be for our student-athletes and coaches.🗣️SCHEDULE NEWS!!! We're playing @CycloneFB Dec. 1 in Ames 🕚 11 a.m. 📍 Jack Trice Stadium 🎟 goo.gl/U6ssEi 📝goo.gl/axrKme #BlueCollar
- “You have made Des Moines awfully proud.” What a great summation by @notthefakeSVP of our thoughts about this @DrakeWBB trio. Great final night of #SeniorNight. Thank you to all that helped make this happen. #DSMHometownTeam
