I'm sure you've all heard that the Chicago Cubs are in the World Series correct? If not, you have been living under a rock! As a result of my desire to attend games at Wrigley the tailgate this week will be scaled down and will be 100% handled by our VP of Ops Susan Franklin.
The Boilers showed some energy and competitiveness under Coach Parker (oh, did I mention that Dollar Bill D finally got a pink slip?) I look forward to seeing if we can be competitive against a State Penn team that is coming off one of their biggest wins in years. Hopefully we can catch them overlooking Purdue and score a home upset.
Tailgate will be in the W Lot as normal. I've only included the plan for Saturday since Friday and Sunday are off the table. The menu will be lunchmeat sandwiches (turkey, ham, and roast beef) and loaded potato soup.

Game 4 - Homecoming
Welcome back to Purdue Football, it has been a long three weeks since we have been in West Lafayette, IN. The football team was unimpressive in getting destroyed at Maryland but won a surprisingly well coached game at Illinois last week. (I guess Darrell has finally gotten the message that his job is on the line.) Darrell Hazell is now 2-0 at Illinois, do you think they might trade us coaches straight up?
With Purdue Football suffering its worst stretch since the 1990's I figured it would be appropriate to have a 90's themed tailgate. That decade of our youth seems not so long ago, but as Derk's daughter reminded us at the last tailgate it was the "late 1900's." Break out your flannel shirts and "who can care less" attitude as we celebrate the decade in which Gen X came of age. We'll be rocking out to the best of the Seattle sound along with a helping of 1990's R&B!
Our menu will harken back to the halcyon days of the 59, 79, 99 Taco Bell menu with a make your own taco bar. We considered a keg of Bud Light or MGD, but nobody wants to relive the days of cheap, nasty, mass produced beer. The Margaritas will be plentiful though and we'll have a few Mexican lagers to go with the remaining Oktoberfest beer. (What? They still had a few cases of Hacker Pschor at Costco and I'm a weak, weak man.)
We will be tailgating in the W Lot across from Slayter Center starting at 8:30 on Saturday morning. The map to the right will guide you to us.

The house will be open for visitors on Friday night, the Chicago crew should be rolling in around 8 p.m. if you want to stop by.

8:15 Depart 1814 Vinton
8:45 Tailgate Set Up in W Lot
11:15 Depart for Stadium
12:00 Kickoff
5:00 Return to Vinton - Dinner to follow
We will return to the tailgate postgame to allow the traffic to thin out. Everyone is invited over for dinner at the SCTC Lodge on Saturday night. It will be a relatively small group but there will be the usual games and beers in the basement.
