Sending off the Drake Football Seniors

Saturday, Linda and I enjoyed a crisp fall day at Drake Stadium watching the last game the seniors were going to be playing as Bulldogs. The season that had started with Drake as a contender ended with them playing the role of spoiler. The Dayton Flyers came to town in a three way tie at the top of the Pioneer conference. When all the pushing and shoving was done, the Flyers locked it up winning 34-27. Along the way, senior standout Scott Phaydavong closed the book on his career with 5,830 yards in 925 carries. Very nice! Many of the senior names had become familiar and will be missed next year.
