While there--win, lose or draw---they should take the team down to the Kenai Pennisula. Spent a month there hunting mountain goat. Some of the most incredible real estate on the planet. On a clear day you can see Russia.

Maybe they can save a polar bear from drowning in Al Gores hottub[/quote]

And when the polar bear is saved from the hot tub, it will proceed to devour the young Dogs in a terrible, grisly sight. If they see a polar bear in a stones throw, they better be running RIGHT NOW!

Too bad the GAS has been dropped by ESPN. It would have been fun to catch DU playing on ESPN at midnight on Thanksgiving.

There's an interesting story about how ESPN has basically taken over these early-season tourneys and practically killed the ones that aren't aligned with ESPN. The guy who runs the Glenn Wilkes tourney that Drake played in this year is quoted as saying:

"F--- ESPN," he says. "Print that. F--- ESPN. They think history started with them. Well, they didn't create s---. They just have more money than God."

Drake will play in next year's Great Alaska Shootout in Anchorage, Alaska, along with Anchorage-Alaska, Southern Utah, Southeast Louisiana, Arizona State, Houston Baptist, Ball State, and St. John's.

Depending on the brackets, Phelps could find himself up against his mentor and his old team. Not a great field, but Drake will have an extremely young team next season.[/quote]
