A lot of other

Purdue fans were wrong too including this one. Just goes to show you all streaks come to an end. Hope said he wanted a special season well despite all the losses it has been “special”

Wow.

I was there. At the game. History was made, Purdue football looked like it is SUPPOSED to. What a great feeling, except for the fact I can’t talk from screaming so loud all day………

Glad you had a better trip than mine.

I was there in 2003. We had to leave in the third quarter because we were getting pounded. And heckled. By 70 year old women with half their teeth.

Does anyone know about this?

From Maize and Blue Nation:
"
In the post game presser, the media was a little surprised to hear about Purdue head coach Danny Hope’s comments to Rich Rodriguez after the game. Apparently, Hope met Rodriguez at midfield to shake hands, but instead introduced Rodriguez to #75 LG Zack Reckman.

Rodriguez said this was because Reckman was suspended a week after Jonas Mouton was suspended. I don’t really know what the two suspensions have in common, but I do know it wasn’t because of anything Rodriguez did. But, apparently Hope wanted to rub Rodriguez’s face in it. After watching the broadcast replay of the end of the game, this was definitely a coordinated effort by Hope and Reckman to seek out Rodriguez and have him meet Reckman.
Very low class on the part of Hope.
At the post-game presser, Rodriguez was visibly very upset and confused about the whole situation.
This just takes Joe Tiller’s “snake oil” comment and adds a ton of fuel to it."

I am curious as to what happened.

Personally, I have no problem with the move. Hope can get away with it this year as the new guy, but I’m sure half the other Big Ten coaches would be have loved to give Rich-Rod a piece of their minds. He’s a shyster and if it wasn’t for his ineptitude, I’d be happy to see him run out of the league.

Thank you Duck fans!!!

Sorry to hear about your loss today. Please win the Pac-10 so we have a win and near win over the Rose Bowl participants!
