Indiana (5-6) at Purdue (5-6), also Spicy Chili Cookoff contest at our tailgate
« on: November 21, 2017, 12:25:03 PM »
Being a longtime season ticket holder comes with high's and low's, nearly all lows the last decade, rewarded with lots of crazy, unexpected up's and down's this year, but ending with a Bucket game I am very excited for this weekend, where winner goes bowling and loser goes home.  I haven't confirmed it, but best I can tell this is the first time ever for this scenario.

Most all times they've faced each other 1 squad super-sucked so it was only playing for pride or as spoiler.  The last time both technically had something on the line was 2007 when IU had to win to guarantee a bowl in the "Play for 13" year in Terry Hoeppner's honor.  Purdue was bowling no matter what and IU would have likely sneaked into a bowl anyway at 6-6, so not close to whats on the line here.  in 2012, Purdue's last bowl team, in Danny Hope's last game, we were 5-6, but I believe IU was 4-6, so again, both teams weren't fully in it.

If anybody is coming, my tailgate group is hosting it's 14th annual Spicy Chili Cook Off, comes complete with Publisher's Clearinghouse style checks on posterboard and cash prizes for the first 3 places, winner I think gets $80.  I've won it 5 times or so, but I also take chances as it'd be boring to make the old chili every year and once got Miss Congeniality (feels like that was finishing last out of 11.)  The judges are implored to include some funny and demeaning comments, so that makes for a lot of fun when results are announced.  If you have any interest in partaking, let me know and I'll send you the info.

As for the game itself, this is a very intriguing chess match of 1st year coaches with an 'offensive genius' coach in Brohm inheriting a squad with awful O line and WR's, and he has morphed into a defensive first team (shout out to Nick Holt, has done an incredible job at DC) as Purdue has gone from allowing 42 pts/gm to about 19, which if I saw the BTN stat line correctly during the Iowa game, that's the best improvement in the country since 2001; vs Tom Allen who is a defensive guy, yet IU has only won this year when it's scored a lot of points and too often have broken on defense.

While playing with a hurt knee (purely my speculation, I think Sindelar has some torn tissue), Purdue truly opened up the passing game for the first time during the conference season and he flourished as they came out from halftime.  If Sindelar can do this again, Purdue will win by 20.   However, if IU can get up early and force a couple turnovers, I think this will be tied with 8 mins left and come down to who can make the most clutch plays.

As of now, I'll say Purdue 30-27 in OT.

I'll be in Lafayette Friday for volleyball.  I'm trying to talk my girls into the football game Saturday but it's not promising.   Too many other distractions for them on Saturday.

This is going to be one hotly contested Old Oaken Bucket.

I definitely enjoyed the hell out of Saturday.  Won the chili cookoff again and it was great seeing the seniors go out in style after 4 awful years.
