We made up a sign that was in half Purdue Colors and half Tampa Bay Bucs colors that read "REmember AlStott Purdue's TraiN?? with the ESPN lined up. Obviously hoping to get some air time and give the new local favorite some hometown props. I also remember some dips*#t Purdue fan chasing down a Georgia fan after the game, he was simply holding up a Bulldog sign and the Purdue fan ripped it out of his hands (out of post loss frustration) ...a fight followed...I hope that wasn't you zlionsfan??

Google doesn't exactly make it easy to change, nor do they provide a bunch of options to choose from. It sucks - I hate the images too - but we've got to keep the spam down somehow. <br /><br />If there's a way we can improve the captcha stuff, you'll see it.zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-52289743549599464622012-11-08T12:55:08.792-05:002012-11-08T12:55:08.792-05:00Thanks, everyone.

Yeah, I'll touch on some different things, and from time to time we'll probably look at things differently, but it'll mostly be the usual toddler-robbing and that sort of thing.<br /><br />And I'll readily admit that as bad as Detroit sports were in the '70s, an advantage of being an all-sports fan is that I no longer have anything to complain about. Sure, the Lions haven't won a title, but the other teams have done more than enough ... and other cities are much worse off. One of my Purdue friends is from Cleveland.zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-22275414455127545342012-11-08T11:45:04.396-05:002012-11-08T11:45:04.396-05:00I echo the sentiments of others about your comment...I echo the sentiments of others about your comments over the years and look forward to your posts.<br /><br />Also, growing up in an IU household (both parents and an older brother graduated from there) I had a similar experience becoming disillusioned with that university's athletics. While attending and after graduating from Purdue I became so annoyed with casual and reversible jacket fans that I went from rooting for them when they didn't play us to not caring to actively rooting against.PU03https://www.blogger.com/profile/03840251913815745898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-33400709283245182582012-11-08T11:45:02.625-05:002012-11-08T11:45:02.625-05:00"I chose... poorly."
