Purdue gets a game under their belt


Hard to say Purdue is off to a "good start" as their opener was a tune-up against Akron; nonetheless it's good for them to get a game under their belt. A little concerned that a defense that returned 11 starters is giving up that kind of yardage to a MAC school, but that's what openers are for.

Very weird not attending the game in person. 12 years or so of season tickets and pre/post game tailgating puts one into a routine.

Another weird thing? Catching games at 9am here on the left coast. Sheesh, that is just too early. I liked 11am starts in Chicago; 9am is going to take some getting used to. Flip it around, though, and the 5pm starts for the night games is very nice. No more staying up past 11 to catch an east coast game.

Nonetheless, we were dressed in spirit of the Boilermakers, and Spencer found a video on the Internet of the "Jumbo Heroes" cartoon Purdue plays before each game.
