Game 6: Iowa

The Boilermakers were not able to back up their historic OSU win with at win in Lansing last weekend.  Hopefully they can come home and set the ship right against the Hawkeyes.  The Boilers looked way off against Sparty, but hopefully coming home will set things right.  

We will have a bit of NOLA coming to town with us for this game, as we serve up some Gumbo, Muffaletta, and of course a batch of my world famous (or infamous) hurricanes.  We will also have some warm drinks on hand as it is probably going to be chilly on Saturday.

I think everyone knows where to find us by now, but as a reminder there is a map on the blog and I'll drop a pin on Saturday to put on the facebook page.

It's guys weekend, so we'll be heading to Harry's on Friday night if anyone wants to join us?

Game 5: Oktoberfest Tailgate!

If it seems like it's been a month since we last saw everyone in West Lafayette for Boilermaker football.....that's because it has been a month since our last home game!   This has been a long road stretch,  and it has coincided with the Boilermakers playing some of their best football of the year.  They put a beat down on the Illini on Saturday, running their record in Homecoming games to a perfect 3-0 in 2018.

This weekend we will be welcoming in the shameful tO$U who has clearly demonstrated that they care more about winning than they do about being decent human beings by retaining Urban Meyer.  In addition to their just normal disregard for the amateur status of their athletes, they now have added not caring about having physically abusive assistant coaches to their moral corruptness.  Let's face facts, they have the talent of a top five team and they're going to be hard to beat, but at least we're not giving up the moral high ground to win!

The long break also means that we have pushed our favorite Oktoberfest tailgate to well past the "proper" timing for such a party.  While the Oktoberfest Munich shut down several weeks ago, we'll plan to keep the party rolling in West Lafayette this weekend with a selection of German beers and traditional dress.
