59-0
Today in West Lafayette, a fair crowd watched a team from a power conference shut out their opponents, put up over 600 yards of offense while only giving up around 150, while they were trying to be good sports and run the ball on every down - to set up a chance for a 67+ yard field goal of course.
Wait, for once, it was us!
Purdue did it..they blew the doors off of a team again. The first shut out and the least amount of yards given up since September of '04. If you were here today, you witnessed 10 different rushers and 4 different quarterbacks. You got to see Patrick Bade block for a touchdown run late in the fourth. You got to see both Robinson and Dawson take a snap or two.
Marve is back. TerBush looked great. Our Two headed monster was 21/25 for 234-1 TD - No Picks.
Our 10 man army combined for 393 yards on the ground and 7 TD on only 53 carries. Is that Sarcasm? Not really, that's the funny part. When you are getting almost 8 yards a carry and a touchdown every 7ish touches? That is stupid awesome.
We watched Carson add 11 points onto his record - with 8 being off extra points.
It was a beautiful day for us and an unfortunate day for the Redhawks. Thank you to the players and the students for not being rude with each other and taking it in good humor. SeMO players were joking with fans as late as the middle of the 4th quarter. Their starting quarterback even had a few laughs.
Two teams of mature adults played in Ross-Ade today; congratulations Boilers.

The phrase "on only 53 carries" had never before been written.
I am a student. I don't pay $15 dollars to get in 15 minutes early, because I get there at 8:45am. I didn't buy tickets because mommy and daddy thought it was the thing to do; I worked side gigs so I could barely afford to buy them. I spent 4 hours painting a t-shirt for a kicker and it made his day.
When I go to the student section and I'm in the front row I love hearing 25,000 of my closest friends belting out the fight song and supporting the team when they need us.
Today, you students did nothing. You made me embarrassed and ashamed to be standing with you. You are silent during Hail Purdue, but you will do the First Down Dance until you throw up. You will judge the kid slapping high fives when the team scores as you text away during the actual game.
I apologize to the team, to the active alumni, and to the band for the behavior of the students.
If this continues for Notre Dame weekend, I will be escorted out of R-A for my actions.
In short, The first down dance is back, and no sir I don't like it.
Death to the FDD. THuff, I have something to send to you that is relevant.
