| Locations of Drake and Iowa State |
The Drake–Iowa State rivalry is the American collegiate athletics rivalry between the Drake Bulldogs sports teams[1] of Drake University and Iowa State Cyclones sports teams [2]of the Iowa State University. Both universities are located in the State of Iowa. Drake’s campus located in Des Moines and Iowa State’s campus located Ames are only 37 miles apart. The universities are two of the Big Four schools (four NCAA Division I institutions in Iowa).
Background[edit]
Drake University is a private institution founded in 1881.[3] Iowa State University is a public institution founded in 1858[4]. The schools have been in-state rivals since their founding. They were both charter members of the Missouri Valley Conference in 1907. The Cyclones departure the Missouri Valley Conference following a meeting on May 19, 1928, along with six other institutions to form the Big Six Conference (which later evolved into the Big Eight Conference).
The Bulldogs still reside in the Missouri Valley Conference. Iowa State is currently a member of the Big Twelve Conference established with a merger between the Big Eight Conference and the Southwest Conference.[5]
Drake and Iowa State (along with Iowa and Northern Iowa) are part of the Big Four universities, a name commonly used to describe the in-state rivalries between Division I schools located in Iowa. Media outlets have been known to utilize the rivalry name when publishing scores or stories about the four institutions.[6] [7] [8]If a team sweeps or wins the majority of the contests between the other universities they are generally known as the Big Four or "state" champions.
Football rivalry[edit]
Drake and Iowa State have met 70 times on the gridiron which is the most played NCAA Division I football series in Iowa.[9] [10] [11]The first game was in 1898 and the teams played annually until 1965 and consistently until 1985.[12] The following year the Bulldogs became a non-scholarship program due to the attendance and financial requirements to maintain their “major” or “FBS” status. In 2018 they met as FCS (Drake) and FBS (Iowa State) classifications with Drake nearly pulling off the biggest upset in college football. They Cyclones were a 41–point favorite ranked 23rd nationally; however, the Bulldogs held 24–20 lead late in the third quarter eventually falling 27–24.[13] [14]The two schools compete for the I–35 Victory Bell Trophy when they meet on the field.[15]
Reporter Todd Saelhof indicated prior to the 2018 game "these two teams have quite a bit of history between them with their first matchup dating all the way back to 1898. Iowa State leads the all-time series with Drake 48-17-4, but the Bulldogs won the last meeting, a 20-17 victory in Ames in 1985."[16] Iowa State improved their record 49-17-4 following their 2018 victory.
Saelhof was correct in regards to historic moments occurring during the series history. During the 1903 game Drake and Iowa State became the first known college football teams to wear numbers on their uniforms.[17] In 1918 the game was canceled due to a Spanish flu outbreak. Drake defeated Iowa State 14–7 in 1922 enroute to their only undefeated season in major college football.[18] Iowa State honored Jack Trice during the 1923 game/season. The 1925 match-up encouraged further discussion and a change to the football safety rule.[19] Drake played Iowa State following the Johnny Bright incident in 1951 prompting both teams to recognized the Bulldog legend. The game schedule for November 23, 1963 was canceled due to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy the day prior[20][21] and the flags were flown at half staff during the game on December 1, 2018 to honor former President George HW Bush who passed away the day before kickoff.[22] On five occasions the game has been a match-up with top–25 teams. The Bulldogs have won thirteen conference championships while the Cyclones have won two conference titles.[23] [24] [25] [5] [26]

°The November 28, 1918 game in Ames was canceled due to Spanish Flu outbreak prior to the game.
°The November 23, 1963 game in Des Moines was canceled in honor of President John F. Kennedy.
Men’s Basketball rivalry[edit]
The Drake versus Iowa State match-up is the most played NCAA Division I rivalry in Iowa with 175 meetings on the hardwood.[27] [28]The teams played annually from the 1907-08 season until the 2013-14 season, generally in a home and away format, until the creation of the neutral site Big Four Classic at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa. Following the 2018-19 season it was announced the Big Four schools would prefer to play once again on campus sites; however, no future match-ups have been announced.[29][30]
Iowa State led the series 30–15 when both schools were members of the Missouri Valley Conference (through 1927–28 season). The schools would continue to travel up and down Interstate 35 during Iowa winters to compete even though they were no longer member of the same conference. Prior to the 1971-72 season the rivalry reached a new intensity as legendary Drake coach Maury John departed the Bulldogs to coach the Cyclones. John was Drake's all time winning coach with a 211–131 record. He had coached Drake to the 1969 NCAA Division I Final Four; and the 1970 and 1971 NCAA Division I Elite Eights. John only coach for three seasons at Iowa State going 32–25 overall and 1–2 against his former team.[31][31] [32] [33]
From the mid-1970's to the mid-1980's the series was extremely competitive. Following a Bulldog win on December 7, 1985 the Cyclones would win eleven strait games. This was in part due to Drake not having a winning season during that time, but also due to success of Johnny Orr's Iowa State programs. The Bulldogs would end their losing skid on December 10, 1997 in Des Moines, leading to six years of the schools winning on their home courts before the Cyclones broke that streak on December 20, 2003 winning in Des Moines. On December 3, 2006 the Bulldogs upset Iowa State on a last second shot to end a thirteen game losing streak in Ames.[34] Drake would win the next year in Des Moines by their largest margin of victory in the series[35] and win again in Ames on December 9, 2008 coming back from a twelve point deficit with eight minutes left to win 66–63.[36] Iowa State would win the next two before Drake won November 15, 2011 which was the last game prior to the neutral site series.[37]
Leading up to the 2011 game Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg indicated "I think those guys become friends in the summer leagues and this game probably does mean more because of it” when asked about the rivalry. Hoiberg participated in the game as both a player and coach.[38] In a 2016 interview former Drake point guard Adam Emmenecker who was a TV announcer at the time seemed to agree with Hoiberg. Emmenecker reflected on the game his senior season stating "the Iowa State game was special to us. Partly because we play against them in summer league every year. So we know those guys."[39]
Both schools having a NCAA Division I Final Four appearance emblematic of each programs success. Drake has also appeared in three NCAA Division I Elite Eights and Iowa State has appeared in two NCAA Division I Elite Eights. The Bulldogs have won nine conference regular season titles and one conference tournament; while the Cyclones have won six conference regular season titles and six conference tournament championships.[40][41][42] [43] [44]

Women’s Basketball rivalry[edit]
Drake and Iowa State’s first official basketball game was in 1975 and the Bulldogs and Cyclones have met annually since that time. They had met informally prior to 1975 and the formation of their intercollegiate women’s basketball teams.[45][46][47]
The series has been competitive never seeing a win streak larger than six games and normally requiring high performances to come out victorious. The Bulldogs and Cyclones historically play in front of large crowds at either the Knapp Center in Des Moines or Hilton Coliseum in Ames. Bill Fennelly the longest tenured coach in the rivalry indicated before a game in 2008 "it'll have a conference-game feel to it as far as how you prepare to play at a high level against a quality opponent."[48] Two years later his Cyclones required a near record seventeen three point game to defeat their in-state rival Bulldogs.[49]
Twenty-nine of the meetings have been decided by ten points or less. This included a streak of seven ten point or less games from December 8, 1984 to an overtime game on December 14, 1990; and five strait ten point or less games from November 15, 2015 to November 10, 2019. The close games may be in part due to each programs history of success, but also the fact many of the series stars grew up playing with or against each other in local high school or AAU leagues.
Since 1995 either Drake or Iowa State or both have appeared in NCAA Division I tournament with the exception of five seasons (1996, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2016). Both the Bulldogs and Cyclones have been to the NCAA Division I Elite Eight (Iowa State twice) and have made multiple trips to the NCAA Division I Sweet Sixteen. Drake has won seven regular season conference titles and eight conference tournament championships.[50] Iowa State has won one conference regular season title and two conference tournament championships.

Baseball rivalry[edit]
Drake and Iowa State have played sixty-one official NCAA baseball games. Their first official intercollegiate meeting occurred in 1892. It was the second official baseball game for the Cyclones and the first ever official game for the Bulldogs. The teams would play in front of large crowds as the main baseball attractions in Central Iowa during the late 1800's and early to mid-1900's. When they faced off against each other they were one of the spring's major sporting attractions in the area during that time. Minor League Baseball did not come to the Des Moines area until 1947.[54]
In 1974 it was announced Drake would declassify as a NCAA Division I sanctioned program following their season. The Bulldogs would transition to a college club team in 1975. As result, the last official NCAA baseball game between the Bulldogs and Cyclones occurred on May 5, 1974. Twenty-seven years later Iowa State would make the same decision. They transitioned to a college club team in 2002.[55]
The Cyclones had a rich history advancing to the 1957 and 1970 NCAA Division I College World Series, advancing in the NCAA Division I regional rounds on three occasions, and winning four regular season conference titles. Most of the Bulldogs success came prior to the modern era of college baseball. They never advanced to the College World Series. Iowa State has also advanced to the 2015, 2018, and 2021 National Club Baseball Association World Series finishing second in 2021.[56][57]

Softball rivalry[edit]
Drake and Iowa State’s first official softball game was in 1976. They had met informally prior to the formation of their intercollegiate softball teams. Softball is the most played women's sport in the Bulldogs and Cyclones rivalry. The teams have had at least one game schedule every season since 1976. Only weather and the Covid 19 pandemic have caused cancelations, interfering with the teams meeting at least once in a season.
In the early years the teams played a doubleheader in Des Moines and a doubleheader in Ames each season. Then the format switched to one doubleheader a season alternating Des Moines and Ames every other season. Currently they play one game in Des Moines and one game in Ames every year. In addition, they sometimes meet in regular season tournaments at other locations. The Bulldogs and Cyclones also play in fall ball (unofficial) games during the fall offseason.

Swimming & Diving rivalry[edit]
The Iowa State women are currently the only team classified as a NCAA Division I swimming & diving program. The Iowa State men along with Drake men and women are currently classified as college club status.[91]
The Bulldog and Cyclone men and women teams have transitioned in-between classification for swimming & diving. Iowa State has won twenty conference men’s team swimming & diving titles and one conference women’s team swimming & diving title. Drake has won one conference men’s team swimming & diving title; while they have yet to win a conference women’s team swimming & diving title. The schools also competed against each other at the Missouri Valley Conference meet through the 1927-28 season.[92][93][94]
Men’s Tennis rivalry[edit]
The first official men’s tennis competition between Drake and Iowa State dates back to the 1911-12 men’s tennis season. It is believed unofficial tennis events occurred between the schools prior to that season. The Bulldogs and Cyclones competed in many different formats at the NCAA Division I level including tournaments, head-to-head team competitions, singles matches, double matches, and individual championships until Iowa State was re-classified as college club status in 2005. The teams also faced each other in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament yearly until the Cyclones departed following the 1927-28 season.
Drake has won nine conference regular season titles and ten conference tournament championships. The Bulldogs have advanced past the first round to the second round of the NCAA Division I team championships twice. The Cyclones have not won a conference title and have never advanced past the NCAA Division I first round.[95]
In 1995, the men’s teams entered into a double header agreement with their women’s teams to encourage large crowds/sell-outs during the matches given the history and rivalry. Drake led this team format six to one from 1997 to 2004. The teams took a brief hiatus from the double header format in 2002 and 2003 with one last double header in 2004.[96] [97]
