Marshall, Marshall, Marshall!

Welcome back Boilermaker fans after a week off let’s hope the boys are ready to get after it against a good Marshall squad.  Marshall is coming off an OT win against our nemesis from last year: Rice.  Marshall has two losses, but they are to #9 West Virginia (I believe that they play for the “Redneck Cup”) and the Ohio University (#29) team that beat Penn State in (not so) Happy Valley.  In other words this will be a good test for us heading into Big Ten play.

In honor of this being Family Day at Purdue we will be doing a meal of hamburgers and fries since without those staples of the American teenage diet my parents would not have met.  (I’ll probably break out the mason jars to drink from as well to “honor” our guests from West Virginia.) 

We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, though it is hard telling where in the lot.  We have had significant issues thus far with the parking situation and I don’t expect it to be much better for the rest of the year.  I have spoken with the John Purdue Club and it looks like it will be difficult (though not impossible) for us to move to the D lot this year.

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.
