The train is officially rollin' right now, but 35 years of PTSD (Purdue Traumatic Stress Disorder) has my guard completely up. On paper, we can rip off three more wins in a row over teams not likely to go to the NCAA Tournament before we go to Bloomington seeking a sweep. In reality, I have been a Purdue fan all my life and I know we're probably more likely to lose these next three, each in more agonizing fashion than the last, before Bloomington.
But, let's forget about Rutgers and Nebraska. Let's just get the sweep of Goldy.
