This is an old article, but it's noteworthy as it's the first, and probably last time Belotti and the The Ducks will visit West Lafayette.
Tom Kubat (J & C's Purdue beat writer) needs to be on his best behavior leading up to this week's game. Why? Because Colleen Bellotti is one bad mutha* Shut your mouth!
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for drunken tirades...especially curse and threat-laden by women. They remind me of Mom (it's a joke, Mom, come on!). But seriously, if you're in the press box on Saturday at RA, watch your step.

Before my Oregon Ducks administer a fanny whipping of epic proportions, I thought I'd warm you up with a few Purdue jokes...
Q: What's the difference between Michael Jackson and the Purdue program?
A: One lures kids into a fantasy world and uses them, is willing to pay millions to stay out of court, and has faded greatly over the years. The other is a musician.
Q: What's the difference between a Boilermaker and a bowl of Cheerios?
A: Cheerios belong in a bowl.
Q: How do you keep a Purdue player out of your yard?
A: Put up goal posts.
Q: Did you hear that The Rolling Stones are playing at Purdue?
A: Yeah, they're 10-point favorites.
Q: What is the difference between a Purdue cheerleader and an elephant?
A: About 400 lbs.
Q: How do you equalize the two?
A: Feed the elephant.
Q: How do you make a Purdue graduate leave your house?
A: Pay him for the pizza.
Q: What does the average Purdue player get on his SAT?
A: Drool.
A Purdue football player was almost killed in a tragic horseback-riding accident. He fell from the horse and was nearly trampled to death. Thank God the manager of the Wal-Mart came out and unplugged it.
A family of Purdue football supporters head out one Saturday to the outlet mall to do their back to school shopping. While in the sports shop the son picks up an Oregon jersey and says to his older sister, "I've decided to become a Duck fan and I would like to wear this to school". .. The sister is outraged by this and promptly whacks him on the head and says, "Go talk to mother"... Off goes the little lad with the Duck jersey in hand and finds his mother... "Mom?" "Yes son?" "I've decided to become a Duck fan and I would like to buy this jersey." Mom promptly whacks him on the head and says, "Go talk to your father!" Off he goes with the jersey in hand to find his father... "Dad?" "Yes son?" I've decided I'm going to be an Oregon fan and I would like to buy this jersey." The father is outraged and whacks his son on the head and says, "No son of mine is ever going to be seen in THAT CRAP!" About an hour later they're all back in the car heading home... The father turns to his son and says, "Son, I hope you learned something today." The son says, "Yes, Dad, I did."... "Good son, what did you learn?" To which the son replies, "I've only been an Oregon fan for an hour and I already hate you Boilermaker bastards."
For a program that's lost four of its last five bowls at such "prestigious" venues as the Sun, Vegas, Holiday and Seattle Bowls during the last six seasons, OU fans are either delusional or using too much of their own product (we know how it is in the Northwest).
Regardless of the "why" behind all of the Ducks' quacking, Purdue and OU are awfully similar...the only difference is Purdue fans seem to understand that there's still a lot of football to be played and nothing's been proven.
Granted, Utah St. (some say the worst D-IA program) and Washington (many believe the worst team in the Pac-10) were HUGE wins, but you just don't know at this point how good your stupidly-dressed football team is. The might be good, or they might be mediocre, yet again.
I guess we'll see on Saturday...Oh yeah, do you think Playboy picks a lot of elephant-like girls to pose in their magazine? The reason I ask is they just picked 5 Purdue girls (http://www.jconline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080911/NEWS09/80911015). I'm just saying.
In all honesty, to beat Oregon, Purdue has to run blitz and stop up the gaps. Force a slow footed Roper to pass.
On offense, quick timing passes will be necessary and Purdue has the QB for that.
It will be a close, tough game, but I think Oregon's speed & deoth will prevail by 7.
I'm actually in complete with that prognostigation...Purdue has plenty to prove...even to the Boiler faithful.
