OH MAN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A BOILERMAKER!
I had one of the best sports experiences ever in my life this saturday. Purdue upset 8th ranked Wisconsin at Wisconsin this saturday. Wisconsin won 111 out out of the last 118 at home prior to this loss. Purdue now sits on top of the Big Ten with a one game lead over IU. They face Michigan state tomorrow (Tuesday) at home. This will be a tough game as Michigan State is the only big ten team that has beaten the Boilermakers this season.
The game was good, but the best part of the night didn't come until 2:00 AM that night. I got a phone call from a fellow member of the "Boiler Brass" basketball pep band. We were going to try and organize a welcome home group for my Boilermakers. On 45 minutes notice, we assembled a 30 piece pep band and managed to get close to 1000 students from the "Paint Crew," the student section, to show up at the airport. The team arrived at 2:00 AM. We gave them a very spirited welcome to the greatest of all college fight songs, "Hail Purdue!" This is one of those things in sports that will stick with me the rest of my life. Below are some videos taken of the occasion.
