Sometimes the fairy tale is just that. A tale. Real life can’t live up to the expectations and stories we read as kids. The good guy doesn’t always win. The dragon isn’t always vanquished. There isn’t always a happy ending. Today was greater than any fairy tale if you’re a Purdue fan. None of the writers on this website picked Purdue to win. Tyler Trent did. He picked Purdue to win. He was right. We were wrong. I’ve never been happier to be wrong.
Some things are bigger than football. Today was one of those things. From the moment of the kickoff and the ‘Cancer Sucks’ cheer everything went Purdue’s way.
