Purdue opens tonight vs. Northwestern

I'm excited to see what the Brohm Squad in its 2nd year. It's also nice to see the lights at Ross-Ade get some good use.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about this game.

Between NU/Purdue & the Sox game, I'm thinking of the spread I have to set up for this evening's glorious festivities. And the best part is that this is the only time of the year I can remotely justify still having Directv :oops: .

It used to be better when Northwestern was getting their brains beaten in every week.

Ratings...

I mean I remember when the first month of college football was nothing but football factories destroying I-AA schools. This is at least more interesting.

The SEC has been doing it for quite some time.

I think it is great, makes things way more interesting.

I am just surprised teams go for it...I would think teams would want at least 1 "easier" game before jumping into a conf game

Maybe...but when it's Purdue, are the "easier" games really easier?

I'm actually psyched for this weekend...ND/Michigan, Washington/Auburn (6 vs 9), Miami/LSU, FSU/VA Tech

Bog Ten begged teams to do this three years ago, I think.

Not a fan of Northwestern's uniforms tonight. A white helmet with a purple "N" would be fine but that cat logo looks kind of...not good.

Looks like Thorson is starting.

Nice start for Northwestern. INT on defense and a nice drive for a TD on offense.

That kid on Purdue looks pretty good. Pulled a Cliff Alexander recruiting hat trick. Hope he has better luck. Probably already has.

Always a good idea to change QBs for no reason when your offense hasn't been stopped.

My guess is because his Mom is really hot.

And why is she taking video on her phone? Get a DVR!
