Motor City Bowl Win

Well, it was a crappy bowl that ended a crappy season but it was a win. I hate to say it but I'm glad to see Dorien Bryant's last game as Boilermaker. He did some great things in Gold and Black but he also had a real bad case of alligator arms as was displayed on the 2 INT's that were credited to Curtis Painter but were actually Dorien's fault.

Looking to next year we're returning some good players on both sides of the ball, but we will be young at several positions. I'll look forward to seeing everyone next year!

Game 12 - Fight for The Bucket

Bucket Game 2007
And IU Still Sucks!

The last time the Bucket Game was contested in Bloomington neither team was bowl eligible; that was 2005. This year’s contest features two teams fighting for bowl positioning. I know that I don’t need to tell anyone to be ready to cheer, it is after all a rivalry game!

I think that this is the first time since 1980 that the two teams are both bowl eligible coming into the Bucket Game. It might be only the second time since the Big Ten changed the bowl policy in 1975 that both teams enter the Bucket Game bowl eligible. (Prior to 1975 Big Ten teams were only allowed to participate in the Rose Bowl, so teams could be “Bowl Eligible” but not participate in a bowl.)

The Bucket weekend has always been about tradition for the Stone Cold Tailgating Club, and part of that tradition is my Mom’s chili. We’ll be serving up a big pot of it on Saturday afternoon to keep us warm on what promises to be a cool November day. We’ll not be repeating the “tradition” that Tony started last year, that is to say we’re not bringing 40 oz bottles of malt liquor! We’ll be sticking to the usuals. One thing that is a tradition is hating IU, and we're experts at that!

We will be meeting at Jim and Sue Franklin’s house on Saturday morning to caravan down to Bloomington. (The second half of the Chicago crew will plan to meet up with us in Bloomington.) We will have 3 parking passes for the purple lot. If anyone is meeting us at Bloomington, we’ll be parked in the purple lot (entrance 10 on the map below.) We will have the hearse, the tent, and our Purdue Flag flying!

Game 11 - MSU

Gang Green Comes to Town

The Penn State game stunk, that’s about all I can say. Stupid penalties, turnovers, and bad calls from what can only be described as the worst officiating crew ever spelled defeat for the Boilers. I’m expecting our league leading third “official apology” letter from the Big Ten this week.

This week the Boilers welcome Sparty’s boys from East Lansing into town. This is a huge game for us in regards to bowl seeding. The best we can do at this point in my opinion is the Alamo Bowl but we have to win out. So come prepared to cheer hard to urge the Boilers on to victory.

This will also be “Boy’s Weekend II” of Purdue Football 2007. We had such a great time at Toledo that the Chicago Boys are leading the charge to West Lafayette on Saturday. Lets all hope that the results are the same as they were in September for this Saturday! Since it is boy’s weekend I’ve set the menu up to reflect that fact.

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, likely towards the front of the lot. The W lot is indicated in green on the map below. For those of you parking in the IM lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium! We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet, so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily.

Guh, really blew a chance to get a big road win yesterday. We didn't play bad at all, but we definitely got screwed by the line judge. Watch the game tape, you'll see what a terrible job this guy did all day long.

Game 9 - Homecoming

Homecoming:


The smell of fall is in the air, the Mildcats are coming to town, it’s time for homecoming in West Lafayette! It will be great seeing everyone back in West Lafayette for this year’s game, though it’s really kind of late in the year for homecoming.

As everyone now knows, our Homecoming tailgates have taken on themes in recent years. This trend continues this year when we bring the espionage and intrigue of a James Bond movie to tailgating; welcome to Homecoming ‘007 style! (Get it, Homecoming 2007, shortened to ‘007.)

Unfortunately we were unable to secure rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn this year so we’re out at the Hampton on US-26 west of I-65. Each person will need to bring a check made out to Paula Wlos to pay for the rooms in the amount of $99.07. This is the per person lodging cost for the entire weekend. Those of you staying only one night are being split across rooms; you will receive an e-mail concerning what you owe. The rooms will be in Brendan Less and Grady Wick's names Paula would like for you to coordinate with your "room captain" to pick up your keys.

If you are not staying with us, but plan to meet us at the tailgate on Saturday, we are in a new location in the W lot. The W is a JPC lot, so you will need to park in the IM lot and walk up towards the stadium to reach us. (See the area across from Slayter Hill on the map below.) We’ll have one Purdue tent, the hearse, and the Purdue flag shown below on a 20 foot pole.

7:30 p.m. Dinner at Don Pablos in Lafayette

We have dinner reservations for 12 at Don Pablos in Lafayette at 7:30. I figured this would be a good spot since it is close to the hotel and is casual enough that we shouldn’t offend too many people.

Paula and Eric will be heading over early to set things up for the tailgate. There are 2 open seats if you want to head over with us, first come, first serve.

I do not believe that there is a hotel shuttle but you can check at the front desk when we arrive on Friday. I would suggest that everyone arrange carpools for Saturday so that we minimize the number of sober drivers needed.

Purdue 31 Iowa 6 (6-2)

The Indianapolis Star described the effort of the Boilers as "workman like" and I can't think of a more apt description. Purdue was solid in all aspects of the game and took care of business against an Iowa team that really doesn't look that good. Their offense is BAD, but they still have a good defense and it was nice to see us move the ball against a decent D.

We're now bowl eligible - I'm sure that Dorien Bryant just signaled for a fair catch on the Bowl Bid.

Next week is Homecoming - the informaiton should be up in a few days.

Game 8 - Iowa Hawkeyes

Hawk for lunch!

I don’t use the phrase “must win” very often but if I think that this game defines a “must win.” For those of you that missed it, we’ve apparently begun our now annual October death spiral. If we can’t get this ship turned around and win out in October then we’ll likely enter November looking up at IU in the standings for goodness sake! In order to avoid the death spiral continuing I expect everyone to be on top of their cheering game!

Since they have to be at a wedding on Homecoming weekend Chris and Eileen Saam have decided to make Iowa their own personal homecoming! Grady and Anna Wick didn’t want them to feel alone so they too will be heading down from Chicago. So basically we all get two homecomings this year!

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, likely towards the front of the lot. The W lot is indicated in green on the map below.

For those of you parking in the IM lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium! We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet, so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily.

I was wrong by the way, I said the last time we won in AA was during the Reagan Administration when it was actually more like the Johnson Administration.

Purdue 7 OSU 23 (5-1)

First time I have had to post about a loss, but really it was a total beat down. I'm telling you what, the D did it's job through the second half keeping OSU to field goals but the O was completely dominated.

Purdue heads to their house of horrors next week, Michigan. I don't think we've won there since the Reagan administration and yesterday gave no indication that we're going to be competitive, but that's why they play the games!

Game 6 - tOSU (Black Out Game!!)

Crush the Nuts!

I mean seriously, whose mascot is a nut? Their stupid mascot isn't even the worst part about them, it's the arrogance of calling themselves "the" Ohio State University. They capitalize "the" which is why I always use lower case letters!

That’s right, it is that time of the year again, time for the nuts from Ohio to invade Boiler land. The Buckeyes are riding a 22 game regular season winning streak and look like they are prepared to defend their Big Ten title, so let’s come to cheer hard for the Boilers to derail that title defense.

This game has been designated a blackout game so please make sure that you’re wearing black. The game is the prime time game on ABC and the black will really stand out on television. I also think that the mono-color stands do help to provide a distinct home field advantage.

In honor of our visitors from Ohio we will be dining on a truly Ohio food – Skyline Chili Dogs. Now, we’re not going to have the “mini dogs” that you find in the restaurants, but we’re going to have the authentic Skyline Chili so it really doesn’t matter what you put it on!

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday afternoon, likely towards the front of the lot. The W lot is indicated in green on the map below. For those of you parking in the IM lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium!

Purdue 33 ND 19 (5-0)

That had to be the most unsatisfying win over ND that I have ever witnessed. I didn't think the team was very sharp in the first half and then they just looked like they were hanging on for the last 30 minutes.

OSU comes to town next week, but Purdue is going to have to give a better effort if they want to get a W against the bucknuts.

Great tailgate before the ND game, photos are posted via the link to the right!

Game 5 - Notre Dame

ND football is O’fer 2007, Well The Bigger they are….

Yes, that is a Charlie Weiss fat joke, just in case there are any misunderstandings. The unabashed arrogance that Weiss has shown in his first two years in South Bend must taste awful as the filler for the humble pie he’s eating right now.

People often ask why I get so pumped up for this game, well if you have to ask you will never really understand. A short list:

1. Erin Piotek’s (http://www.nd.edu/~observer/09131999/Inside/0.html) wonderfully written piece of journalistic toilet paper for starters.

2. Realistically they are a competitor for recruits in this area and beating them means more top notch recruits.

3. "The Shirt"

4. The bottom line though is that this is a rivalry game, and seeing goobers like these guys cry when their beloved Irish lose is just so much fun:


We’re doing our annual Oktoberfest tailgate this week complete with brats, German potato salad, deep fried kraut balls, German beer, and Andy Bauer in leather shorts! Andy however will not be alone, as I too will be sporting the traditional Lederhosen.

Purdue 45 Minnesota 31 (4-0)

Didn't see the game because I was at Oktoberfest, but sounds like a repeat of the CMU game where we raced to a big lead and the defense gave up a bunch of points in the second half! Can't have that every week guys!

ND comes to town 0-4 next week, I'm betting ABC won't be making that the 3:30 game. :-)

Saturday, September 15, 2007

Purdue 45 - CMU 22 (3-0)

Sloppy win today, but a win none the less. Five turnovers by the offense and three touchdown drives allowed by the D in the second half give me some cause for concern. The worst news of the day though was that the Boilers lost starting tailback Jaycen Taylor to a broken arm. He looks to be done for the year! GUH!

Had a great tailgate and it was "grandma's" (one of our seatmates) birthday. She very much enjoyed her Stone Told Tailgating Club Manhattan!

See everyone in two weeks!

FYI, I need to know if you are planning on attending the ND tailgate!! E-mail me ASAP!! Paula and I are out of the country the week before the ND game, and I need to shop now.

Game 3 - CMU

Family Day!

This week we welcome the Chippewas of Central Michigan to Lafayette for another MAC smack down! The pundits are predicting that CMU will finish at the bottom of the MAC so I don’t see this as a huge challenge, but we do have a history of underperforming against overmatched foes early in the season. Add to this the fact that the Chippewa’s just whipped Toledo (our week one opponent) and we may actually have a ballgame on our hands. Hopefully a dry one after last weekend's rain soaked mess!

It is also family day on campus. I love family day because you can clearly tell the age of the student by watching the parents. Freshman parents are fretting and worrying about how late their son or daughter was out last night. Then you have the senior’s parents who are just praying that they didn’t really see their son coming out of Where Else at 8:00 this morning already drunk!

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, hopefully towards the Slater Center side of the lot. The W lot is indicated in green on the map below. For those of you parking in the IM lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium! We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet, so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily.

Please note that all times for itineraries are given in Lafayette’s local time. This will not affect the people coming from Indy, but for those of us in the northern reaches the move to daylight savings time in Indiana means that Lafayette is permanently 1 hour ahead of central time.

Purdue 52 EIU 6 (2-0)

The Boilers won a laugher today against a clearly over matched I-AA team. The most notable event of the day was not Curtis Painter's record tying 6 passing TD's but rather the first rain delay since 1989! The start of the second half was delayed by an hour and the stadium was ordered to be evacuated due to lightening!

We actually left when they cleared the stadium - we didn't feel that the game was going to get much closer than the 31-3 halftime score.

See you all next week! Check out the photo page for some good pictures.

Purdue 52 - Toledo 24! (1-0)

Great time in Toledo for the Stone Cold Tailgating Club. Be sure to check the photo link to the right to see images from the weekend.

We had an issue (I forgot the charcoal grill) but it was easily resolved with the help of our fellow Boilermaker tailgaters. We also had a close encounter with a Boilermaker great from the past; Mark Herrmann was tailgating just down from us and we got him to autograph our Purdue tailgate chair! (Picture will be added once Coons sends it to me!)

It was a great party and a great game. Before the game I really felt like we would be facing a tough challenge but by the third quarter the control of the game was all with the Boilermakers.

There are no pictures from the golf outing on Sunday morning because nobody needs visual images of something that ugly! Let's just say that those of you that bet on Greg against the rest of the field - you won. Greg was competing against the best score among Grady, Tony, and me and I think he only lost 2 holes.

The Chicago boys ended up sticking around for the Mudhens game on Sunday and we had a great time. Nothing like minor league beer pricing! Keith and Chris settled in for those 32 oz beers at 6.50 a cup and were happy as clams!

Game 1 - Toledo

ROAD TRIP!

What a way to start the season with a road trip to beautiful Toledo, OH?! This is a revenge trip though, as we look to even the score with Toledo – they handed Joe Tiller his first loss as the Boilermaker boss way back in 1997 at the Glass Bowl.

We’re going to stay over two nights and hit a Mudhens game on Sunday night. Golfers may want to think about bringing their clubs and we can hit the local links on Sunday morning.

We will plan to meet the people traveling up from Indy at the hotel on Saturday afternoon. Greg is bringing the tent up so that we don't have to swelter out in the sun while we tailgate. We will likely hit the Toledo “hot spots” after the game.
