It had been 1,456 days.
On November 30th, 2013 the Old Oaken Bucket took a ride south with a 1-10 Purdue team that went down as maybe the worst in school history. Indiana rolled to a 56-36 win that day that was never as close as the final score indicated. The Bucket stayed in Bloomington, and never really came close to coming back. The constant ineptitude of the Hazell era meant that it established near permanent residence. It even only visited once, as the schedule makers made sure that three of four Bucket games in a row were in Bloomington.
