Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I did a top ten list way back when, but it's out of date now, though number 1 hasn't changed.

One of my "bottom 5" Purdue football moments came against Wisconsin. 

I struggle whether last year's game at Minnesota would make the bottom 5. Purdue's season was effectively put in the tank when Elijah Sindelar and Rondale Moore suffered season-ending injuries on the same play. But it wasn't a season on track for something special like 2004 was when "The Fumble" happened.

Hmm, boss says if I wanted to move to Denver or Austin he'd support it. And the way the company works I'd have no change to salary.

Airborne! All the way!

Bottom five is an interesting topic. I haven't put as much thought into it, but as a quick pass: Colorado and Syracuse stomping on the Badgers to begin seasons (1994, 1995, and 1997, I think), and Georgia to finish it in January 1998. Abbredaris fumbling the ball against Oregon late in the Rose Bowl (heck, three of the last four Rose Bowl losses, TCU and Oregon x2--the Stanford one didn't bother me that much). The OSU beat down in the 2014 B1G championship game. The collapse against Penn State in the 2016 B1G championship game. The collapse and loss to a terrible Michigan team in 2008. Some of the fumbles against Northwestern stand out (1996, 2000, 2005, 2009, 2018--I don't even know if all of those were fumble games, but they all feel like it because they were against Northwestern).

So those would be the categories: embarrassing national blowouts, Rose Bowl Failures, B1G championship failures, Northwestern, and the most pathetic loss to Michigan that I can remember.

That 2004 Purdue/Wisconsin game is on my (pretty long) honorable mention list for favorite memories. That was a crazy, brutal finish for Purdue.

On Saturday my mobile phone bounced out of the pocket of a bag it was in and fell to the asphalt, cracking the screen. Nasty--and the first time since I've had *smart* phones that it happened to me and was thoroughly my fault (SFIrish once kicked my iPad out of the passenger side door in a parking lot). Yesterday my work sent a messenger to take it to the shop for a replacement screen, making the last 24 hours the first time in forever that I didn't have a phone with me. Just got it back. 

Ok, while I was backpacking this summer, I didn't turn it on; and when we canoed the Allagash in Maine we were out of coverage (and it was packed away) most of the time. But the first time in normal civilized life that I didn't have it. Felt strange, and liberating--but not liberating enough that I will likely ever go back to not having a mobile phone with me most of the time.

Austin is very nice December - March

not so much in September
