Drake Bulldogs are a no. 5 seed in NCAA

And they will play Western Kentucky in their opening game. But the game is not in Omaha, which I think would be a HUGE advantage for the Bulldogs. No matter. Go Bulldogs.

1. Awesome!

I got them going to the great 8 in my poll. I might be a little bias, considering they'll have to beat western Kentucky, Uconn and UCLA to do so, but it better be now if ever:)

3. Is anyone else surprised Drake is only a 5-seed?

I'd have thought they'd have been a 4. Too bad, too, because they're going to run into a buzzsaw in UCLA.

I'll be rooting for them, though!

4. Not really

Seems like the first time (in a long time) in a school gets no respect. Besides other than the first round for the top three seeds, seeding really doesn't seem to matter much. You have games to play and win.
Other 5 seeds were MSU, Clemson and Notre Dame. I'd say they are about right.

2. Go Doggies

Drake graduate here.

5. Fudge!!!!

Why did I have to tune in for overtime. I remember why I gave up college sports. Just don't have the passion in me to get crushed like that again. After Kerry/Edwards 04 I have to turn away from watching live events unfold, I should have done that again.
