I'm not going to lie, being a Clemson grad really took the sting out of the Purdue football season for me. I was raised a Boilermaker, but moved to South Carolina in elementary school, and stayed in state for college. The strange thing is, when I was attending Clemson from 1999-2002, Purdue and Clemson were at the same place on the college football landscape. From 1999-2002, Purdue went 28-21 and Clemson went 29-20. How did two teams at such similar places then end up in such different places now? It's fairly simple in my opinion, Clemson made a financial commitment to football and Purdue failed to make a financial commitment to football.
