I am calling it now: Purdue will lose to Maryland on October 1.
The main reason is that I will be there. I have been on a years long quest, starting in 2001 at Indiana, to see Purdue play in every Big Ten Stadium. It has allowed me to criss-cross the Midwest and see many campuses. It also means I have seen many, many losses. Illinois, Indiana, and Northwestern are the only Big Ten venues I have visited twice, but here is the record of Purdue at a Big Ten venue for my first game there:
11/24/2001 at Indiana L 13-7
10/12/2002 at Illinois L 38-31 (OT)
11/15/2003 at Ohio State L 16-13 (OT)
9/24/2005 at Minnesota L 42-35 (2OT) (Metrodome)
10/14/2006 at Northwestern W 31-10
10/13/2007 at Michigan L 48-21
11/8/2008 at Michigan State L 21-7
10/31/2009 at Wisconsin L 37-0
10/15/2011 at Penn State L 23-18
10/27/2012 at Minnesota L 44-28 (TCF Bank Stadium)
Yeah.
