October 16, 2004.
Early Evening.
The moment that this picture was taken is the high water mark of Purdue football. Kyle Orton high-stepped into the South End Zone to give the No. 5 Boilermakers a 17-7 lead with 8 minutes left against top 10 Wisconsin. West Lafayette was raucous. Purdue was about to go to 6-0 with its toughest games left at home in Michigan and Ohio State. Forget a Big Ten title, we were actually, legitimately dreaming of winning a National Title and Heisman Trophy.
Yes, Purdue Football
I was there in section 128 with my soon-to-be fiance.
