Purdue Football 2012

Football season 2012 is upon us and this Boilermaker squad looks like they could build on the 7 wins that they brought home last year. We have 19 returning starters and for the first time in several years it looks like all of our QBs are healthy! If Ralph Bolden is back and healthy off of his ACL injury suffered in last year’s bucket game we could have an offense to reckon with.

Ticket sales are down mostly on the complaint that we “don’t play anyone good” at home this year. The home slate features no less than five teams that appeared in the post season in 2011/12 (EKU (FCS), Marshall, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Penn State) so the competition will be good this year. The Boilers look like they will be up to the challenge and hope to improve on the 5-2 mark at home in 2011.

I currently still have 4 seats for each of the following games priced at $12.50 per person so please contact me if you’re interested?

Eastern Kentucky
Eastern Michigan
Marshall

While I expect improved performance from the team we will still have some fun tailgates planned to ensure that your game day experience is good regardless of what happens on the field. We will be having a great time before and after each game in our normal spot in the W lot across from Slayter Center.

We will be featuring the return of some of our tried and true favorites including Make Your Own Pizza for Penn State, Kegs and Eggs for Eastern Michigan, and Oktoberfest which returns for the 4 p.m. kickoff against Michigan on 10/6/12.

We will also be doing our Stone Cold Tailgating Club charity events this year. I really do appreciate everyone that has supported our Charity endeavors over the last three years, I think it is great that our tailgating “family” is giving back. The events will be as follows:

10/6 Michigan – Almost Home Pet Rescue
10/13 Wisconsin – Coats for Kids
11/3 Penn State – St. Lawrence Food Pantry
11/24 Bucket – Toys for Tots

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 you can see that 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 (susanfranklin_1814@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. I look forward to seeing everyone this fall!
