Lo and behold, it's been almost 1,100 days and more than 1,700 posts since the launch of Boiled Sports. November 6, 2006. A day that will live in Purdue sports infamy. Okay, maybe not.We just wanted the mark the occasion of our wee little site's three-year anniversary by thanking (hey, it's the month for giving thanks!) the readers of the site for....
-- stopping by in the first place
-- for commenting (even though many readers do not, which is fine)
-- for putting up with us as we learned our way towards being decent bloggers
-- for making us a part of your day/week/month/whatever
-- for dealing with our mood swings
-- for joining us IN those mood swings
-- for reminding us of how incredible it is to be a part of the Purdue family
-- for showing everyone what being a true fan is about
-- for your pride
-- for your insightful comments
-- for your caring enough to get emotional at times
Hey, the list could go on. Point is, this is so much fun and we truly love -- cherish, even -- being even a small destination for Purdue fans. We started the site basically because we needed an outlet for our sports-related brain dumps (and a place to make fun of Charlie Weis). If we were able to entertain some of our friends along the way, that'd be great, too. And now we're here. Don't get us wrong -- we don't think we're big time in any way. We're just happy we get to help you pass the time and maybe give you a place to hear some true Purdue fan opinion and to vent your own opinions.So, basically... thank you, thank you, thank you.

And thank you too! My site is only about 3 months older, but we have definitely helped each other grow.
Congratulations! I love stopping by multiple times throughout my workday. My only suggestion is adding a few more pics of Kramer... and maybe a few of Wiggs, too!!
Congrats, gentlemen! I also stop by multiple times throughout my day, just in case. Keep up the good work!
Congrats... for your Anniversary, I am giving you an upset of Michigan tomorrow. Enjoy!
Congrats you handsome men! I am new to this site, and enjoy reading it every day! thanks to the Big Ten Tour guys for informing me about your site!
3 years already? And you have been reduced to talking about Triscuits. Me thinks you should think about retirement...
Congratulations. I've enjoyed the efforts of BoilerDowd, J Money, and, every so often, Tim. Here is to another year Purdue banter, Manatee punches, ripping on IU, and the other general nonsense.
You should toss in a SBF, just for old times!
Keep up the good work.
A suggestion: more Terry Hutchens chronicles!
Thanks guys, I don't remember exactly when I stumbled upon this site, but I've enjoyed it ever since. You remind me of myself and some of my college buddies with your wit, sarcasm, and your sometimes juvenile tendencies! I think we're from the same era of Boilermakers as well ('92-'97).
PS - Tell Mrs. Money the boobs ARE necessary.
Congratulations on three years! That's half as long as it took me to get my bachelor's degree.
