Redux
Assistant Coach
Upon entering the Big Ten we had a score to settle. The Purdue Boilermakers. Our all time record sat at 0-1 against them. It was the winter of 1654 when their knights stormed our castle and pillaged and took our women. Maybe I have that wrong but either way when we entered the league we had a reason to get up and smack em around to take over as series leader. Last year we tied things up, this year we look to take the lead for many years to come seeing as they are somehow now our division foe. Probably not what Dr. Tom had in mind but hey, someone had to replace Kansas.
Ive noticed nobody seems to really give a hoot about tomorrows game. And why should we other than the revenge factor for the castle storming? Well we sit at 7-1 on the year and hold a #15 ranking in the innagural playoff rankings. I worry about our mindset heading into the game. Not the teams, but ours. The overly pessemistic approach we have taken to what could be a special year is the earned result of several mediocre seasons. I truly hope the crowd gets up for this one and helps lift us to a big blowout win. We need it. Game faces husker nation, tomorrow is gameday!
