After a humiliating Homecoming loss to NIU and another pounding against Nebraska the Boilers went on the road and provided a much better result at MSU. After a bye week in which we were a 7.5 point underdog, they return to Ross-Ade Stadium this weekend to take on a tO$U team that has been rolling since Urban came to town. This will likely be another tough one for the Boilers but hopefully we can pull out a shocker much like the last two times tO$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 cold, so we will plan to have some of the heating elements with us. As a reminder we do have stadium blankets that can be carried in but we need you to please make sure that they make it back to the tailgate after the game.
We will plan on meeting in the D lot on Saturday morning, hopefully near the Evans Scholars house where we have been for most games this season.
The D Lot can be found on the map on the right side of the blog. 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 either our custom flag, which can be seen to the right of this post, that sports our “Old School Boilermakers” or the upside down Purdue Football Flag. (Upside down obviously to indicate that our football program is in distress.)

If you are driving separately and plan to arrive at the tailgate later we suggest that you park in one of the following locations: The Northwestern Avenue Garage (Grant and Northwestern), The University Street Garage(3rd and University), or the IM Gold Lot (Just off 3rd Street at McCutcheon.)
