"Duck It!"
Well, it was a nice start to season in West Lafayette; quite a beat down administered to the Rockets and now on to the “duck meat” of the schedule! This will be the first time Purdue travels for the west coast since the Rose Bowl trip in 2001, and we'll be along for the game! The Boilers will be facing an angry group of Ducks on Saturday as they are coming off of an UGLY loss on the smurf turf in Boise.
Speaking of the game on the Smurf Turf, for those of you that haven’t yet seen it, the total meltdown of Oregon’s senior running back is not to be missed: http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=4446109. (Oh, he won’t be planning on Saturday; he’s now suspended for the season and apparently he quit school.)
One other item of note, is the new “twist” added to the hideous uniform combinations that Oregon wears. Phil Knight apparently grew tired of the “diamond plate” pattern on the shoulders and now they’re going with feathers.

Paula and I will be arriving on Saturday about midday; I was hoping we could all meet at our hotel to head over to the tailgating lots. Our hotel is closest to the hotel, though I can’t say that we know where we’re going to park to tailgate. Purdue has designated “general public” lots but it seems that if you’re not an Oregon “donor” it is a free for all as far as parking is concerned around the stadium. There is a Children’s Museum near the stadium that seems to allow parking; I think we’ll aim for there.
