We got to see a great win by the Boilermakers over the $uckeyes last weekend and we can’t wait to see them do the same to the Hawkeyes! We had a great time in the stands and at the tailgate last weekend and I hope we have a repeat of that this weekend. Hard to believe it but Purdue can close out the home slate with a 6-1 record if they win on Saturday. As much as it pains me to say it we can hardly argue against Hope's results at home this year.
We originally were going to fry up a turkey in honor of Thanksgiving but changed our mind when we realized this would be the last Stone Cold Tailgating Club event for the year. (Greg and I are skipping The Bucket Game this year.) We will follow our tradition by making the season closing meal a big pot of chili with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. Since it projects to be a little cool on Saturday morning I will also be whipping up a batch of mulled cider that can be “doctored” to your liking.
Last week we had four first time Stone Cold tailgaters and we will have another “first timer” at the tailgate this weekend; none other that the “Hipster Slayer” himself Jeremy Golden will be joining us! This will not only be Jeremy’s first Purdue game but also his first Big Ten game. He’ll finally get to experience real football weather instead of that soft weather they have down in the SEC. Unfortunately we don’t pay our players as well as they do in the SEC so the level of talent will likely be a notch below what he’s used to seeing.
We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, hopefully towards the front of the lot just like last year. The W lot is across from the Slater Hill and the Stone Cold Tailgating Club spot is marked by the gold square.
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.

7:30 p.m. Dinner and Drinks at Harry’s
Since this is Jeremy’s only night on campus we figured we would show him the mecca of our drinking years: Harry’s. The kitchen at Harry’s is open until 11 so we will plan to just have dinner on campus. If we can get there earlier than 7:30 we will. We will need to call it a relatively early night as we have an 8:00 call the next day which means rolling out of bed by 7:30.

Eric and his parents will be departing from the house at 8:00 to ensure that we have two adjacent spots. If anyone else would like to meet at the house they are welcome to but it is not necessary. We have room to transport up to 7 people from the house in the ambulance and Element.

tO$U
Before we get to the game information I want to let everyone know that we’re doing a canned food drive this week for the local food pantry. As we have discussed over the last two years we’re trying to use the Stone Cold organization to provide some service back to the community. Any non- perishable items are appreciated! I messed up and missed the coats for kids donation at Homecoming, so I’m hoping to make this drive a little more successful.
After a great Homecoming win against Illinois the Boilers have gone 0-2 on a tough two game road trip. They return to Ross-Ade Stadium this weekend to take on a vulnerable tO$U team that has seemingly righted the ship after reeling early in the season owing to their cheating ways being revealed last winter. This will likely be another tough one for the Boilers but hopefully we can pull out a shocker much like the last time tO$U visited us in West Lafayette.
We will be doing our ever popular make your own pizza tailgate this weekend. We’ll have all the toppings you will need to create a personal pie that is all your own! There will also be ingredients for salad if that is more to your tastes!
The weather projects to be cool but not cold this weekend. We will plan to have some of the heating elements with us, but I don't suspect that we will need them.
We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, hopefully towards the front of the lot but as we have been struggling with the slope of the hill we could be at the back. 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 to the right.
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, which can be seen to the right of this post, that sports our “Old School Boilermakers” motif similar to our cups.
