Bucket Game

The Boilers come into the Bucket Game riding a 2 game winning streak that they will try to run to 3 games against hated “Bloomington Tech.”  I really thought that the momentum from last year's bowl game would carryover and lead us to a New Year's Day bowl in 2012......that alone should prove that there is such a thing as blind optimism…..but a win in a win and the Bucket has to stay home!

A win on Saturday and the Bucket will stay at home and Purdue goes “bowling.”  (I use quotes because let’s face it, we’re likely headed to Detroit again.)  I would love to say that a bowl game fixes everything, but in reality I am hoping that Saturday will be the last time we watch Danny Hope on the Purdue sidelines. 

We will be having our traditional Bucket Game pregame meal of chili and ham and cheese.  Hopefully we will be celebrating another Bucket Game tradition: a Boilermaker victory!  (Purdue is 57-27-3 in the Bucket Game.) 

We are doing a charity event for "Toys for Tots" so if you can donate a new toy we would appreciate it!

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.
