Big Boilermaker Network

For those interested (and starving for a Boilermaker fix in these quiet months), tomorrow the Big Ten Network will air 24 hours of Boilermaker goodness.

"Five episodes of the Big Ten’s Greatest Games, featuring the Purdue football and men’s basketball teams, also are part of the day’s programming, including the 1991 double-overtime basketball victory over Michigan at 1 p.m. ET, the 1998 Alamo Bowl vs. No. 4 Kansas State at 4 p.m. ET and the 1999 football win vs. Notre Dame at 10 p.m. ET."

No word yet on which of Rick Trefzger's classic performances will be highlighted.

Will the coverage begin with a prayer service with Eric Hunter/Jesus?

Put in Trefzger!

Oh, wait...Put in Dicken!

Billy Dicken used to make great apple cider for the sororities.

There was nothing a sorority sister liked more than a big Dicken Cider.

It's amazing what a google search of "Eric Hunter Jesus Purdue" finds:

Sorry, Ross. I'm sure every joke you tell is a 100% McLochness original.

Ross McLochness said...

I did give cheers!

'Twas funny.

24 hours of Purdue goodness and no Big Dawg!?!?!? Disappointing!

The 1999 ND-Purdue game featuring B.Dicken under center would be fun to see again. So would the Brees to Morales bomb to beat Ohio St. I still don't know how Morales was left that wide open. Was a great game. Then later down the road the Buckeyes paid us back with the Krenzel to M.Jenkins 4th and 2 corner of the end zone TD....Holy Buckeye...eat $hi+ Musberger.

Does this Robert Marve video give you goosebumps?
WOW! Can't wait for 2010 or 2011 when the Boilers are back in the Rose Bowl!!!!!!!!!!

Matt, '99 was Brees at QB- Dicken graduated in '97.

Chad, the Purdue v. Duke game was on early this morning, I believe...GRob's last game with Purdue on his chest.

Matt said...

Haaaaaaa...yes yes I knew I typed that wrong after the fact I think i AM WANTING TO SEE THAT 1997 Billy Dicken victory so badly or something thats why I put that. Dicken was 1997..gotchya...Tiller's 1st year...yes loved that game.

1999----is that the ND@Purdue game where you always see that great drew brees dive over the top in the corner of the end zone?

vinny bubble screens galore all over the field?

J Money said...

I believe the '99 UND game is when they ran out of time trying to get their final play off.

Matt said...

I want to see Billy Dicken's win over ND.

I think its going to be a little longer than 2-3 years before Purdue is back in the Rose Bowl.
