Purdue fans...bless their hearts. Actually had one tell me today that he doesn't care if Purdue ever wins a national title, he's content with having the all time series lead over us, and it means even more now that they can say they lead the series over a national champion.
Most athletic departments are trying to win championships and be better than the rest. Purdue only exists to try and be better than us.
I mean, their defense hasn't exactly been great, either. Everyone's saying our offense looks ahead of the curve for a season opener, maybe the heat is slowing down their defense, too.
I'd like to think it's because the field is 150 degrees. When you think about having to be tough enough to win in the elements, you think rain, snow, wind or brutal cold. Usually not extreme heat.
I can already see the next wave of lawsuits popping up in the coming years: Members of the Class of '23, '24 and '25 who redshirted a year will start suing for another year so they have 6 to play 5. They'll call it the TKR rule.
I can rewatch any game except Miami. Even though that should be the best of all, I just get too nervous in the second half thinking we're going to blow it somehow.
The Heismandoza touchdown run hides a lot of the other mistakes we made late. I bet Cig still gets pissed if he goes over any of that film again.
So it seems that conferences are drawing a line in the sand and saying NFL players can't return to school.
Notre Dame isn't in a conference...going to be funny if a bunch of NFL dropouts go there.
