Through the years at Purdue I have experienced so much.
I have seen many a football game and with my friends and family’s help my tailgating prowess has only grown. Lest we forget where we come from, there were the early years of the Breakfast Club.
I have seen "love."
We all have experienced loss.
I have done smart things and dumb……..mostly dumb.
Hair has been spectacular……
…..and now is gone.
Relationships that last a lifetime have been formed.
Through it all, we have always honored our fair alma mater, our own Purdue.
I invite you to celebrate with me as we return for Homecoming at Purdue 2011!
The Boilers will be facing a scrappy but turnover prone Illinois team for Homecoming, it will be a tough test of whether or not they are moving forward. If we can beat Illinois, or at least compete, then I would say Danny Hope buys himself one more season at the helm in West Lafayette. If this is an ugly showing then Morgan just might bite the bullet and eat that last year on Hope's contract.
In honor of the 20th anniversary of the arrival of two of the biggest fools to ever walk this fair campus we will be going back in time. I ask you to join me in thinking back to your freshman year at college. When you are a freshman at Purdue and have had a few beers on a Friday night the “drunk munchies” can only be answered in one proper way: a burrito on Chauncey Hill.
There are two schools of thought on the burrito: Taco Bell or La Bamba. (Anyone that says Chipotle has obviously graduated in the last three years and is excluded from the conversation.) To finally settle this argument we will be offering beef burritos in the “Taco Bell” style and chicken burritos in the “La Bamba” style. Let us finally decide which the superior method for quelling the munchies is!
We will plan on being in our usual spot in the W lot towards the front of the lot. The W lot is across from the Slater Hill and the Stone Cold Tailgating Club spot is marked by the gold square on the map on the right side of the blog.
For those of you parking in the IM Gold 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 and an ambulance so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily. We will be sporting our custom flag this year which sports our “Old School Boilermakers” motif similar to our cups.

8:00 p.m. Arrival (Eric) from Chicago
Feel free to arrive anytime after 3:00 on Friday if you’re staying at the Stone Cold Lodge 1814. There are no set plans for the night, we’ll probably just hang out at the house and catch up. I am thinking about opening up the poker table for games.
Saturday October 22, 2011
8:00 a.m. Depart for the W Lot
8:30 a.m. Tailgate Begins
11:30 a.m. Leave for Game
12:00 p.m. Kickoff
6:00 p.m. Dinner at 1814 Vinton??
We will plan to eat at the house as there will be such a large group. I will plan to fire up the grill most likely or maybe slow roast some brisket or pork? Really we have no set plans so we can play it by ear on Saturday. After dinner we can head back over to campus to hit the bars if we’re feeling up to it post game.

WOW! Very well done, Eric! I am "so glad" that I made the (at least my hands made) the "love" photo. Thanks for "covering the faces to protect the guilty." -- Have a great time this weekend. I will miss you guys. I think Illinois is due for a loss.
