Purdue Football 2011

So much for that “Hope and Change” stuff huh?

While Danny Hope cannot control the insane number of injuries from last year, I believe that his margin for error is nil coming into 2011. The downward slide that occurred at the end of the Tiller era seems to be continuing instead of abating. Hope has been given the “vote of confidence” from Burke which means nothing; this is his make or break year.

Last year’s injury plagued campaign does have one silver lining, it got guys on the field to get major minutes that otherwise would have ridden the pine. We will see if this experience translates into true depth or not in 2011.

The home slate features no less than five teams that appeared in Bowl Games in 2010/11 so it does not come easy for Danny and the boys. It does mean though that you have the opportunity to see Purdue become the Spoilermakers all over again!

I currently still have 4 seats for each of the following games priced at $25 per person so please contact me if you’re interested?

MTSU
SE Missou
Minnesota
OSU

Just in case the on field performance is not what we would expect, we can always rely on some epic tailgating right? We have some great tailgates planned for 2011 including our first “Jimmy Buffet” tailgate. (Who doesn’t love margaritas and boat drinks?) Also new this year we will be enjoying some southern style “down home” favorites for the “Rocky Top” tailgate the first game of the year!

We will also be featuring the return of some of our tried and true favorites including Chicago Dogs and Make Your Own Pizza for Homecoming and OSU respectively. Oktoberfest also returns for the 8 p.m. kickoff against ND on 10/1/11.

The Stone Cold Tailgating Club is in effect again this year; pay one price and it covers you for the season! The membership levels and costs are listed in the table below. There have been no changes to the pricing from last year.

In addition to the Stone Cold Tailgating Package there is also a lodging package available. With two locations I am going to leave it up to everyone to arrange their lodging each weekend by contacting Brendan and Dawn (goboilerz@yahoo.com) or Susan Franklin (james.franklin@comcast.net).

The revenues from the Stone Cold Lodging package will be put towards house upkeep, utilities, and improvement work. Each location has a “bucket” for you to make your donations.
