Not a fan of either team's helmet. But not everyone can be a helmet team or a non-helmet that is unflinchingly rigid about tradition.

Yeah, another bad decision by a Purdue player to ice the game.

2 horrible interceptions and an ill timed personal foul made all the difference.  Along with some awful officiating...I know, I know, it's only game 1...but it's true.

If Purdue wasn't in love with throwing INTs they might've actually won. Fun game to watch regardless, as a neutral party at least. 
I thought I settled my debts that night on the ride home
But I have still got hell to pay

Tough to lose like that and great to win for NW.

Purdue saw a huge spike in season ticket sales - like they doubled. I think the fans see promise there.
Minnesota... not so much. Nope. For them, it's buy 3 Red Baron pizzas and you get free tickets.

wasn't saying they shouldn't change, just didn't like the cartoonish wildcat. purdue's was fine, imo.

Good to see enthused crowds on a THU anyway.

Good to see CFB on TV anyway.

And I'm SO EXCITED about watching my team play Austin Peay.

I'm just about to pee.

(The Dawgs just inked a CFA one and done with Clemson in 2024, which is better than some other options.)
