MVC No Longer Good Enough For Drake

LurkingDog — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:16:01 GMT

Drake needs to get away from the directional/state universities and start a new conference with stronger academic standards and better men's basketball.

This is a conference that would make waiting for automatic NCAA bids worthwhile:

Drake
Creighton
Butler
Bradley
Evansville
Valparaiso
Dayton
Xavier
St. Louis

Keep Rice and Tulane in mind if they decide multi-million dollar football deficits are overwhelming, forcing them to drop football and withdraw from Conference USA. Although they're currently suffering hard times in basketball, they could make this a great baseball conference. And an excuse to roadtrip.

With either 9 or 11 members, there would be an equal number of conference games played home and away.

TV potential would improve, and there would be potential for football sponsorship (maybe with some associate members in that sport).

Recruiting Violation

Dawg_tired — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 10:19:07 GMT

Apparently the NCAA is investigating a member of this board for soliciting fat girls from Omaha and trailer trash from Wichita to convince a certain four star recruit that neither of those places are safe or desirable. An official said that the booster walked downtown Omaha for quite some time looking for any sign of intelligent life. When he rounded a corner he saw a rounded young lady in a Creighton t-shirt stretched to its limits. After a few pleasantries and a $2.50 big mac coupon a deal was struck. Said young lady would entertain a prominent recruit in an adult sort of way while visiting gOmerha. Not satisfied, the booster flew to Wichita where he bribed a very thin and wrinkled meth addict to do the same when the four star recruit visited Shuckerville. When asked what he did for the recruit when he visited Des Moines, he said he let the light shine through. Des Moines and Drake coeds can speak for themselves. The recruit is leaning heavily toward Drake.

LOYALTY IN MARRIAGE

Mc Bulldog — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 17:02:56 GMT

A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every single day.

One day, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times.

When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... ......You know what?"

"What dear?" she gently asked, smiling as her heart began to fill with warmth.

"I think you're bad luck, get the freak away from me."

'Trailer Girl' author to give reading, work with WSU students

Wednesday, February 06, 2002 4:41:11 PM | Category: None

What: Reading by New York writer Terese Svoboda, WSU writer-in-residence
When: 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22
Where: 209 Hubbard Hall, WSU campus
Phone: (316) 978-3130 (English department)
Cost: Free

Terese Svoboda, author of eight books of poetry, translation and fiction who is based in New York City, will spend a month as writer-in-residence in Wichita State’s English department.

Svoboda will work with students in WSU’s creative writing program for a month, starting Feb. 11. While at WSU, she’ll give a free, public reading of her book, “Trailer Girl and Other Stories,” at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, in 209 Hubbard Hall.

“Trailer Girl,” which is Svoboda’s seventh book, has been called “piercing, unprettified prose.” Written in nontraditional prose, the book is a collection of 15 short stories and one novella that was called “disturbing, edgy and provocative” by Book magazine. The novella consists of 31 short chapters, some no more than one or two paragraphs long, that tell the story of a nameless woman living in a trailer park who meets a wild girl living in a nearby gully.

Svoboda’s eighth book, “Treason,” will be published this year. She’s won numerous awards and fellowships and is an 11-time nominee for the Pushcart Prize, which recognizes the best work published in literary magazines over the course of a year.

Born and raised in Nebraska, she earned degrees from the University of British Columbia and Columbia University. After traveling around the world working in visual anthropology, she worked as a producer on a five-part film series at Columbia’s Translation Center and then a 13-part PBS series on American poetry.
