It's Time To Get Amped Up!

It's college football time and so I thought maybe today was a good day to get all the Boiler faithful charged up for this Saturday's opener against Toledo. Sure, many of these are from the good old days, but try to remember how when each of these happened -- no matter how good we were -- it still felt surreal to be on the winning side of these kinds of matchups. Good things could happen to the Boilers and we all began to believe again.

Enjoy.

Up first, one Drew Brees' earliest shining moments... the comeback in the 1998 Alamo Bowl:



Next, a terrific home win against Notre Dame as they lose in a painful way -- mismanaging the clock. Oh, Bob Davie, we miss you.



During the 2003 season, one of those great plays that just makes a quality opponent look overmatched -- #14 Purdue makes it 20-0 over #10 Iowa:



PSU at Purdue, 2003 -- Purdue tells JoPa to get off our lawn!



Still one of our favorite moments ever -- Taylor Stubblefield begins celebrating at our own 40. Classic and one of the only teams it's always okay to rub it in on:



And one of the best, one that never seems to get old... Brees to Morales, "Holy Toledo," Mike Doss blows coverage on a walk-on WR who almost drops the pass... I always point out to Boilerdowd when we reminisce about these days that Brees threw for well over 400 yards in this game and had 3 TDs and 4 -- FOUR! -- interceptions. Truly the essence of Drew the gunslinger:



Two days to go.

Great job, J...Great clips.

One of my favorite things is that Davie is getting "congratualated" by Tiller in the second clip and he's doing play-by-play in the third.

Holy Toledo! Here's to hoping Painter blossoms this season!

Those are great! I would add two more though (if possible). First, Beasley (I think) returns a fumble for a touchdown against ND in 1997 - although I swear he tossed the ball before he crossed the goal line. Second, the 1999 (I think) game against MSU. They came in #4 or #5, scored a quick TD and then Purdue scored right away with Chris Daniels (!) taunting MSU on the way to the endzone. That was another 7 touchdowns, 6 interceptions days for Brees.

I was at the '99 MSU game when they came in highly ranked and we absolutely torched them. Good call on that one...

Excellent. I am most definitely ready for Saturday now. And I believe the game is on ESPNU?

The "U" is correct...next week, another network no one has- BTN

I have DirecTV - so I think I will get those games.

Awesome clips!! I was totally waiting for this! It's extra special that I was at half of those games. My favorite is the Alamo Bowl (since I wasn't at the OSU game), but close second is Stubs pumping his fist. I went to that game at ND and I lost my voice yelling and rubbing it in the ND fans' face. Hope we get some more memories like these this year.
