Merry Christmas From The Staff Of Hammer & Rails

Christmastime is always slow around here, as we all take a break to spend time with family. There is not a lot newsworthy as even the Purdue athletes we follow here are released to head home for the holidays. That is why I am stepping away from writing for a day or two unless something major happens.

So, while I'll be back on Thursday, I wanted to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas from the entire staff here. You guys make this such a fun place to be and it is an honor that you readers have made it so successful.

So, our Christmas wishes this year are for an NCAA Tournament berth and win for the basketball team, a win period for the football team, a women's Final Four, a baseball return to the top of the Big Ten, success in all of the Olympic sports, and, of course, lights for Ross-Ade Stadium.
