Boiled Sports is Selling Out

Well, if you know what suckers we are to make a buck, you knew this day would come. We couldn't talk about it before because it wasn't a done deal, but now it is.

Our humble little Website been bought (hey, our love is for sale) by Purdue's official athletic site and so things will be a-changing around these parts.

The good news is that you'll be able to find Boiled Sports -- although it might look a bit different -- by visiting Purduesports.com and clicking on the Boiled Sports link. The not-as-good news is that we won't be able to be as scathing about certain topics (ahem, Mr. Hutchens) as we have been previously. But that's the price you pay for becoming part of the establishment.

We also will likely have more writers/editors adding content and, well, limiting content. But hey, that's how it goes.

Many thanks to those of you who have patronized our site from the beginning. Without all of you refreshing as often as you did, our page views wouldn't be what they are and, in turn, this wouldn't be possible.

We'll see you on the other side.

While I understand we live in a greedy capitalist society I cannot say that I'm not disappointed. Because its stupid ultra conservative Purdue I know the content will suck and will be relegated to mediocre topics.

Does anybody know of any other Purdue sports blogs?

Oh man this is so awesome!

Does this mean Purdue is now officially endorsing bashing Fat Charlie and the Forehead?

(Yeah, I know what day it is)

April Fool's!

The Purdue Athletic Dept is not that smart nor forward looking to see the value in a blog like this.

I hope the sale rumors aren't true.

Staff: I posted a link from Tom Izzo's recent press conference. He was asked about his team's "Ugly" style of play. Pretty insightful response. Why do I feel like he's talking directly to Digger/Hubert and all the other ESPN d-bags? I definitely don't mind him being the face of the league right now. BTW, Penn State handled a band of super heroes from the big east with ease last night. Suck it Digger.

Great job, guys! Congrats!

FYI, you can always come over to the dark side and be scathing if the mood strikes you at Hammer and Rails

BTW: Mrs. T-Mill figured it out.
