Act now to own your very own piece of Purdue's disappointing 2007 football season!If you've got a couple hundred dollars lying around and just can't think of the perfect gift for the Purdue masochist in your life, why not bid on this Joe Tiller autographed football from the Notre Dame win?
Sure, this was a 7-5 season that, quite honestly, should simply be forgotten, but don't let that stop you from owning your own little portion of the experience.
Next up: A Curtis Painter interception ball, which will be followed by one that Selwyn Lymon failed to catch.
Feel the excitement.

A win over Notre Dame is still something to be celebrated. No matter how bad Notre Dame is.
Also, why shot at Painter? He's gotten his INT's down considerably this year.
I think it is good that we have raised the bar such that a 7-5 season isn't good enough. Let us never forget the Colletto years when a 5-7 season looked pretty darn good. Or rather, a 4-6-2 season...
I think the case that Painter digressed can be made. The offensive line was better than last year and he got time all season, but he held onto the ball. He threw a ton of costly picks and Purdue's offense couldn't effectively move the ball once it got into the red zone versus the elite. That would make Purdue's offense, once again, right in the middle. The really disconcerting thing to me is how the offense struggled versus Northwestern and IU for big chunks of time. Further, he stared down receivers so badly that many teams started merely dropping the MLB into coverage and simply watching his eyes. MSU beat up Purdue by doing this. Lastly, Painter never seems to audible out of plays even when the defensive sets call for it. I think this is where Painter really missed opportunities to improve from last year. So I think Painter deserves some criticism.
While Painter is somewhat culpable for the offensive stagnation, I will blame lack of offensive game preparation Tiller, Legg & Z. So it goes right back to the top.
Matt -- The season was a letdown. It was a disapointment. The team did NOT step forward as it had a significant chance to do. Painter, as Boilerdowd notes, did NOT step up to be a big-time QB and part of the cradle. Are any of these things not true?
And Notre Dame was abhorrent and we were the one team they hung with for the first half of their season. Of course it's better to beat them than not, nobody said it wasn't. The overall not-so-joking-tone of the post was that 2007 was a disappointment.
So, I guess it's unclear... is the football cheaper because someone wrote all over it?
It is nice to see that the Boiled Sports crew took Thanksgiving off, but I didn't get my TGISF fix. We'll need something extra fluffy next week.
