Be Patient Boiler Nation!
I worked with Danny Hope and Gary Nord for 6 years at Louisville when we won 2 bowl games and put 26 players in the NFL. I know the blueprint that Coach Hope and Coach Nord have for this program and it is a strong dose of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama players.
In 2 years Purdue will be the fastest team in the Big 10. Coach Nord will mix a strong passing attack with a good solid running game. Look at last year’s recruiting class of all Florida players, it is only going to get better.
Ron Zook when he was an assistant for the Gators once told Ralph Dawkins (Brian’s brother) he was too short, too slow, and too small for division one football. After he hung over 200 yards rushing and receiving and 2 TD’s on the 1992 Florida Gators in the Swamp (that Florida team lost to Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl Nat’l Chmp. Game) Ron Zook shook Ralph’s hand at midfield and said he was wrong about Ralph. These are the kind of diamonds in the rough Coach Hope and Coach Nord will bring in and shock everyone with.
Good times are comin’ and it will be a strong Southern breeze bringing them!
Boiler Up!!

Ugh.
Nobody cares about your fantasy baseball team
