A mid major school in Iowa that's going through a rebuilding process with a new coaching staff? For real guys?Easy...where you see a question mark, they see an opportunity. Some kids like following others, but kids like Trey and Karl like blazing their own trail. Where you a mid major school that's rebuilding, they see a program with great fans, in a great conference, with a passionate and energetic coach- a program that just needs a couple of players to believe- a team with potential to do extraordinary things with the addition of a few perfect pieces. Where you see fear, they see excitement; where you see a risk, they are so confident in their skills that that same risk looks to them like a sure thing. <b>Drake fans: You better buckle your seat belts, because for the next four year's you'll be in for the ride of your life</b>." <br><br><br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/danpon1#p/u/6/jP-VP4x6-WE" target="_blank" class="SmlLinks">DanPon1 channel</a> - this guy put together the video and may have more on his youtube "channel" (I haven't looked through his list)Tue, 16 Feb 2010 23:18:51 GMT4Bulldogshttp://www.drakenation.com/Topic49976-10-1.aspxAwsome footage, they both look like men playing against boy's.
