Do you clowns think you’re smarter than us? Well, for one thing, take it easy – that’s not some kind of monumental accomplishment. Regardless, here’s your chance. Throughout the rest of the summer and leading up to the BS Semi-Official Season Preview in late August, we’re going to offer the first polls ever in BS’s illustrious history. Most people who run sites go bananacrazy with polls, but we tend to think polls are often stupid. But in this instance, they’re going to help us gauge what the readership of BS thinks of the upcoming Boilers season.You’ll be polled on each game individually – Purdue versus each opponent, and we might even include links to Off The Tracks' thorough previews for each team. Vote once, vote a bunch of times, do whatever you want. Because we know if we asked you to only vote once, we know you’d ignore it anyway.
And this isn’t just for Boilermaker supporters. Hate the Boilers? Think they’re terrible? Then vote for them to lose. All we ask if that you vote what you THINK will actually happen in each game – not what you WANT to see happen. So if you’re a big-time Northern Colorado believer, vote for them to win. (Same goes for other Division 1-AA kinds of teams, such as Notre Dame.)
Today is the first game poll. Polls will remain open until we decide to close them, but no later than August 25. We will then post our season preview that week and then it’ll be on, biotches. If you all predict a 4-8 season and we say 8-4 and it goes our way, we will then act all superior. Because we’re jerks that way. Enjoy and thanks for playing.

If we lose this game I am walking back to Indianapolis from West Lafayette, that is after I break into the Athletic Ticket Office for a full refund.
You guys should link my team by team previews as you do this.
Good idea...J?
Travis, don't tell us what to do.
Okay, fine, tell us what to do.
Thanks guys, you rule!
I like to call these "Bookstore Games," since University Bookstore gives 5% on Purdue stuff for every touchdown we score the Monday after a home win. This will more than likely be the one that gets me 40% off my new Purdue jersey to replace Keller's from last season.
John -- that's awesome. It certainly wasn't like that when we were there. I might employ you to hook me up with something!!

Ok, ok, which of you clowns voted for Northern Colorado?
Yeah, anytime. I'm stuck here in God's country for the next 5 years finishing my undergrad work and grad school. Get at me on campus for the games (football and basketball of course). I have been known to frequent Harry's and talk Purdue sports from time to time.
Who are the 3 people that voted for Northern Colorado? Show yourselves!
Five mroe years at Purdue? Where can I sign up! I'm certainly not using my Communications degree at the moment.
five years? yikes.
i'll be around for 2 years starting in the fall. but won't be getting football tix, although i may go to a game or two if the mood strikes. wake me in november...
It sounds like a Boiled Sports party/tailgate should come together at some point...
