It has been a few years since the Big Ten expanded to 14 teams, but in football it is still weird to think of Maryland as a conference game. Purdue has still only played them three times, and one was in a bowl game following the 2006 season. Since joining the Big Ten the teams have only played twice, once in College Park and once in West Lafayette. The West Lafayette meeting went well for us, as it was a convincing homecoming win in and otherwise dismal 2019 season. The first meeting at Maryland in 2016… did not.
I was at the game in 2016 and met up with Jumboheroes and his wife before the game at a downtown DC brewery.
