Game 6: Northwestern

Well we've made it this far, we're nearly across the finish line of Purdue Football 2016.  Our second to last home opponent are the Mildcats of Northwestern.  NU managed to lose three of their first four games including a loss to Brock Spack's FCS Illinois State Cardinals.  However they have recovered to a respectable 4-5 (only at Purdue would that be respectable) and will provide a stiff challenge on Saturday.


While this is the traditional "guys weekend" we're of course welcoming of everyone.  The weather is going to be cool and we're going to have all of our warming gear available.  The menu will be soup and grilled cheese with spiced cider.


I for one am looking forward to a relaxing weekend of catching up, drinking beer, and maybe watching football.  As such I am declaring our tailgate a "no politics" zone.  We're all aware of the results of the election, can we please put it behind us?  I've had enough CNN, Fox News, and screaming protests for a while.  Thanks for respecting this rule.
