Boilerdowd, Tim and J enjoy some cake.We couldn't let today pass without proudly sharing the fact that Boiled Sports turns terrible two today. Two years of mindless ranting, sideboobs and, mostly, Purdue-centric sports talk. We hope you've enjoyed it and tell your friends about us. The first kilo is always free.
I look back at our first post and see how far we've come. Our first week included Tim lamenting the plight of Cleveland sports fans (Brady Quinn currently works hard to ensure some things stay the same), Boilerdowd mocking IU football and doing our first post about hot chicks, me mocking JoePa (and one of my still-favorite photos of the old man), and a post about a certain Purdue recruiting class.
Over the past two years, we've riled some people up and also gotten some really nice compliments from readers (and not just the people spam-emailing us to get us to post links). I've yet to put up more info about us and our mission, why we do this, etc., because I've never felt it's critical information. We come here for the same reason any of you come here -- to kill some time, to vent, to babble about Purdue (or other sports we love or have opinions on). Sure, we'll never be "big time," but we actually like it this way. We've got a little niche carved out and we really enjoy doing this.
So thanks, really, for letting us do it and for coming by however often you do come by... we promise to keep trying to be fun.

Happy B-day BS!
Terrible Twos?!?? Great now you’ll be all whiny, negative, fearful, loud, and your behavior will be so unpredicta…
Never mind. Carry on.
Is that Tim in the center? Tim - cut your hair, you hippie!!!
Has it been two years already? Did I get married already? Yikes!
This is my rookie year at BS, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
How about mixing things up a little this year? Instead of "Sideboob Friday," how about "Valuable, Interesting Information and Rumors from Our Inside Sources at Purdue Football That Only We Know Friday"?!
Dozer, do we not feed your hunger for rumor-mongering enough?? :-)
Congratulations BS! This is my rookie year as well and I really appreciate the stellar job by all three of you - THANKS!
Having read your first post again, a few things stuck out:
You have been on Tiller's case since you started here.
Only once in a while does Tim post about Cleveland, but when he does I do get the homicidal tendancies
You've gone away from mocking Notre Suck and Fat Charlie - and I miss that. Not even one word about last week's loss.
Does hockey still deserve to exist?
Do women's sports still deserve to exist?
Carry on...
Just as you'd get bored reading the same things over and over, we could get bored writing it.... how much fun is it to continue mocking ND or their neverending arrogance? I guess it's always fun to send barbs at them and their delusional fans, but we tend to float from one cause to another (like Democrats -- hey-yoo!) and focus on that for a while before moving on to something else. If it was nothing but Sideboobs and Fat Charlie jokes, it would get stale fast. Or would it?
I like how we've stuck to our basic principles...and whether we post like it or not, we still have a strong, deep dislike for UND and all of its trappings.
To Travis, Kevin, Galen, 38, E, Manana, K-dz, Matt, Dozer, Zlf, atl, AWD, Wynn, everyone who's ever read or responded to one of our posts at BS, we thank you! We don't get paid for this, but we do like doing it...Here's to 22 more years!!
J and Tim, you're both daffodils. Tim, are you asleep at the wheel? No BQ posts?
Heck yeah, it's high time we do get paid. Then hookers and Crystal for all!
Seriously guys, thanks for doing so much and for having a relationship that allows both of our sites to grow.
Congrats! I'd offer you guys a beer but I think I drank them all last night, sorry.
Keep up the good work!
More like 1.5 years of sideboobs....grumble grumble....
