| Drake's men's soccer team is currently 5-0, their best start in school history. About a week ago when Drake was 4-0, The Times-Delphic ran a game recap with the headline "Watch out Creighton, Drake men's soccer shines early." That probably wasn't the smartest headline, and hopefully whoever wrote it and ok'd it are now aware of the concept of "bulletin board material." The actual story doesn't mention Creighton or anything about an MVC title, so this little student-written blurb shouldn't be a big deal.
Then The Creightonian, Creighton's student newspaper, found the story. Their blog has a hissy fit over the mere mention that Creighton might not win the MVC this year:
[quote]What does Drake know about men’s soccer dominance you ask? Well, for one, the Bulldogs are outscoring their opponents 8-0 in their four wins. Offensive dominance might be an understatement – I bet Cleveland State and Centenary had no idea what hit them. And look at that stifling defense. It’s unbelievable to think that SIU-Edwardsville and Wisconsin-Milwaukee couldn’t even muster up a single goal.
Sure Creighton has some good wins. But outscoring Gonzaga, Portland and UC Riverside 9-1 might not be good enough in this year’s Missouri Valley. Some people might point to Creighton’s 3-0 exhibition win over No. 9 Ohio State as an indicator that the Jays are still a power, but it was just an exhibition. The Chiefs won an exhibition game this year, but does anybody think they are going to win a regular season game?
Besides, maybe it’s time for Creighton to just step aside. It gets kind of boring being the class of the conference every single year, and it’s really not fair that the Jays have only let Drake win once in 26 all-time head-to-head matches. Maybe it’s time for Drake to claim its first-ever MVC championship and represent the conference in the NCAA tournament. Why not? It worked out in basketball, right?
Let’s engrave the trophy right now. Your 2008 Missouri Valley Conference Champions, the Drake Bulldogs. Congratulations. It was hard-earned and well-deserved.

I know Creighton men's soccer is really good and has been that way for years, but sheesh...
