Northwestern at Purdue: GameThread & How to Watch

Happy birthday, Mackey Arena.

The venerable Dungeon of Noise that we know and love opened on December 2, 1967. Since then we have a 610-138 record at home, and have won 11 in a row dating back to last season. Today is the Big Ten home opener and a chance to sit atop the league at 2-0 for about a month.
