Two Christmas's ago, I moved back home from South Carolina. My girlfriend from New Jersey came to visit me in Lafayette - the hope was that she would like it enough to move there with me. After family parties, local diners, and an unfortunate New Year's Eve trip to Buffalo Wild Wings, I took her to a Purdue game. I was excited to let her in on the little secrets about the team, something an outsider oblivious to sports like her would have no idea about. In fact, she didn't know any of the history, the names of the players, the heartaches, or the hope that is second nature to a Boilermaker fan.
