History of the Bulldogs

The Drake Bulldogs have a long and storied history in NCAA sports. From the early days of their football program to today's successful teams, they have been consistently competitive throughout the years. The school holds numerous conference championships and has made several trips to bowl games.

Drake first fielded a football team in 1895, making them one of the oldest programs in college sports history. Two years later, they won their first conference championship when they captured an Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) title with an undefeated record that season. Since then, Drake has gone on to win 11 more IIAC titles and three Pioneer Football League Championships since joining that league in the 2008-09 season.

The Bulldogs had some success at other levels too - most notably winning four Missouri Valley Conference Championships between 1945-1950 before moving back into Division I play for good, starting with its current stint as part of the Pioneer Football League beginning this past decade.

On top of all these successes on the field, Drake University is also home to some notable alumni who went on to great things after leaving Des Moines, including NFL Hall Of Famer Kurt Warner, NBA All-Star Kyle Korver, former Major League Baseball player Larry Hisle, and many others! These are just a few examples that show how much impact Bulldog Athletics can make on people’s lives, both during time spent at university or afterward!

So if you're looking for a school rich with tradition yet still pushing forward towards future success, look no further than Drakes Bulldogs Sports Team! Whether through cheering from stands or playing out there yourself, you will always find something special about being part of this proud program!
