Woohoo! Football season starts this week! Who's excited?!
Hey.
Where are you going?
Don't leave us.
Basketball is coming soon...
*sigh*
Darrell Hazell kicks off his fourth year at Purdue against Danny Hope's former school and alma mater, Eastern Kentucky. As some of you may know, this will be Purdue's last game against an FCS school as the B1G will no longer allow schools to schedule an FCS school as the league moves to 3 OOC games for each team.
The good news is that Purdue has never lost to an FCS school.
The bad news is that we're still Purdue and it could still happen.
Here's hoping that Purdue can win on Saturday and retain its undefeated streak against FCS schools until the end of time. If Purdue loses this one, we'll never hear the end of it from our rivals down south.
