For much of this week I was nervous. As a Purdue fan, I had been conditioned to expect the letdown after challenging a good team. I thought Purdue would come out against one of the MAC’s better teams and fall apart at home. I mean, we had seen this before. Hazell got blown out at home by Northern Illinois and Central Michigan, then lost in the final seconds to Bowling Green. After tailgating on the IM fields tonight I walked into Ross-Ade hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.
Instead we were surprised.
Purdue was actually good.
