The dismal 2013 Purdue football season will come to an end Saturday afternoon in Bloomington. either it will end with a small measure of redemption as Purdue keeps the Old Oaken Bucket for a third straight season or it will end with Purdue longest losing streak in 105 years.
Yes, that last part is right. Purdue has now lost nine games in a row. The Boilers last did that in 1993 when they lost the final nine games of the season to finish 1-10, but won the season opener a year later. A 10-game run of futility has not been seen since Purdue won the final game of the 1905 season, but did not win again until the second game of the 1908 season, going 0-5 both in 1906 and 1907 before the streak reached 11 games with a loss to open 1908.
So yes, the last time Purdue lost 10 football games in a row was before a pair of World Wars and when the Cubs were about to win a second straight World Series.
