The Bucket Game returns to Ross-Ade for the first time since 2012 (a 56-35 Boilermaker win) and we're probably better off for it since we haven't had to watch IU celebrate their back to back bucket wins on our home turf. Indiana has put together several 2 game win streaks in the bucket game but have not won 3 or more straight games since they held the bucket from 1944-1947. Yes we're looking at that kind of historic futility from Darrell Hazell's program.
Purdue did not look terrible against Iowa but Indiana comes in off of a strong win at Maryland and an impressive performance against Michigan the weekend before. Indiana will also be charged up because with a win they will make themselves bowl eligible at 6-6. (Think about that, a team that would be 2-6 in Big Ten play would be bowl eligible.) It is a rivalry game so anything can happen and hopefully Purdue will find a way to win!
It projects to be on the cool side on Saturday so we will have our heating devices, hot chocolate, and spiced cider. We'll be having our traditional pregame meal of chili and ham and cheese. We will be set up in the W lot with our traditional flag up and the new 10x20 gold tent.
