BOILER UP!

Alright sports fans, it's that time of year, yes my favorite time of the year COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON!! Yes, most teams have started, but for me it's all about my beloved Purdue Boilermakers. Season opener is Sat at Ross Ade vs Akron the mighty Zips. I have my season tickets in hand and I am so ready to go I can't freaking wait! I love Purdue football, and the odd thing is I have loved it since I was a little kid when they truly sucked. Purdue football used to be miserable like the big ten doormats, and they hire this guy named Joe Tiller, and after losing to Toledo in his first game I thought damn it here we go again. However the very next week we beat those crybaby ass losers from South Bend that's right the weakling irish from Notre Dame. Joe Tiller is in his 8th year at Purdue, and since we have gone to 8 straight bowls baby, and yours truly has been to every single one, and hopes to make it 9. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a Florida bowl. To me there is nothing better then college football, the atmosphere, the bands, the cheerleaders, the fans, the drunk fans, the tailgating, you just can't go wrong, and you can relive your college glory. So to say I am excited for Saturday is probably an understatement. Nutty will even tell you that when Purdue is playing away(I don't get to many of the away games) she knows never to call when they are playing, because I will be PISSED! I will post my prediction down below, feel free to post your predictions in the comments.

So, a look at the mighty boilers this year, we are #13 in both the AP and USAToday poll going into this weekend. There are soo many high hopes for this year because we return pretty much everyone, especially on defense. Tiller is going to go with the spread option attack this year on offense which will be different, just hope we can hold onto the damn ball. I still cringe when I think of the 4th quarter fumble last year vs Wisky. The schedule sets up nicely, Ohio State, and Michigan rotate off, and Michigan State and Minnesota rotate back on, so great trade off there. The only bad thing is the road trips are far this year, looks like the only one I will make is to see us kick the IU Hoosiers ass as usual, and retain the old oaken bucket. Last year I got to the Notre Dame game, ILL game, and Northwestern game which were all on the road.

My take on this first game, it won't be close at least it shouldn't be! Akron lost a pretty good QB to the NFl, and I don't see them challenging much. We need to hold onto the ball with this new offense, and be able to move it effectively, and use the sell out crowd to our advantage. Hopefully are freaking kicker will have learned how to put it thru the uprights this year, and get us some three pointers when we stall. My prediction

PURDUE 57
AKRON 6
Feel free to submit your predictions if you like.

"Hail Hail to old Purdue all hail to our old gold and black
Hail Hail to old Purdue our friendship may she never lack
Ever grateful ever true thus we raise our song anew *FIREUP*
Of the days we've spent with you, all hail our old PURDUE
GO BOILERS!"

I am sure this bored most of you, so for those of you who can't get enough of my everyday life, some news and notes. Our tennis teams split the girls team won 3-2, boys team lost 0-5. The big story was we were done at 6:15 and had to wait 30 mins to leave because our bus driver took our bus and went and got dinner and wasn't back! She gives me her cell number I called 5 times and never got thru, so I was stuck babysitting 14 kids UGH! Lets see, my nephew Caden turned 1 this past Wednesday, and we will be celebrating his birthday Sunday. They had to change the day of the party because I will be at the Purdue game Sat. I am such a brat. My foot is better but not completely healed, but soon! Oh yeah, Janelle won Head of Household on Big Brother can I get a woot!? One of the nerdherd should be off to the sequester house. That's all I got. and remember to

BOILER UP!

Ok first off .......... did i read it correctly. Was the name of the Irish taken in vane just then (help me out on that seahag).
Secondly ....... Nutty probably doesn't call you because she couldn't be bothered to!
Ok i'm guessing that Akron aren't a good team. I am going to predict that it will be a slighly tighter game. So therefore my prediction is - Purdue 46 Akron 13.
And unluncky with the tennis and babysitting thing.

Unluncky - the act of being rather unfortunate with your choice of lunch menu. lol.

I'm sure it will be close to the match up a couple years ago between Kent and Ohio State. Like we had a chance!

BTW did you click on the "viagra" link? I think they want you to! I LOVE spam!!!!

At 9:35 AM , Blogger LBseahag said...

Nuts, where did you meet Mike M?

 
At 9:54 AM , Blogger Unknown said...

I can assure you seahag - pick on Gareth WEEK is NOT going to be happening!

Have you only just remembered that you were in Ireland. Drinking is a sport over here so you probably have an excuse for not remembering it!

 
At 10:05 AM , Blogger Unknown said...

Thanks Phats/Nutty. I've only just noticed that you have linked me. I must be a little slow today.

 
At 11:55 AM , Blogger Unknown said...

Nutty of course I know you are only messing. I have thick skin. Nothing worries me. If I was any more laid back I would be horizontal all the time. So you are ok.
And yes I have a GREAT sense of humour. Glad that that didn't go unnoticed, hehe.

 
At 12:41 PM , Blogger Phats said...

Design Goddess! WOW!! Knife to the heart, picking the zips, but you work there so I guess I understand haha :)

Nuts and Mike M are a great combo trust me.

It's funny how a simple word can have so many conatashions (or however it's spelt).
Actually it's funny how a simple word can have so many different means, dammit.

Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout
Would not take the garbage out!
She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,
Candy the yams and spice the hams,
And though her daddy would scream and shout,
She simply would not take the garbage out.
And so it piled up to the ceilings:
Coffee grounds, potato peelings,
Brown bananas, rotten peas,
Chunks of sour cottage cheese.
It filled the can, it covered the floor,
It cracked the window and blocked the door
With bacon rinds and chicken bones,
Drippy ends of ice cream cones,
Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel,
Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal,
Pizza crusts and withered greens,
Soggy beans and tangerines,
Crusts of black burned buttered toast,
Gristly bits of beefy roasts. . .
The garbage rolled on down the hall,
It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . .
Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs,
Globs of gooey bubble gum,
Cellophane from green baloney,
Rubbery blubbery macaroni,
Peanut butter, caked and dry,
Curdled milk and crusts of pie,
Moldy melons, dried-up mustard,
Eggshells mixed with lemon custard,
Cold french fried and rancid meat,
Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat.
At last the garbage reached so high
That it finally touched the sky.
And all the neighbors moved away,
And none of her friends would come to play.
And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said,
"OK, I'll take the garbage out!"
But then, of course, it was too late. . .
The garbage reached across the state,
From New York to the Golden Gate.
And there, in the garbage she did hate,
Poor Sarah met an awful fate,
That I cannot now relate
Because the hour is much too late.
But children, remember Sarah Stout
And always take the garbage out!

TGP you rock too. And Gareth, Purdue Pete is NOT GAY!

New Purdue guy don't know you, but can honestly say you're a friend of the blog now, and you are obviously cool because you like Purdue. Welcome to the phatsdawg pound.

Thanks for all the comments guys, some weirder then others.

 
At 6:19 AM , Blogger Unknown said...

Phats I hear you on the not gay thing.
You never welcomed me to the phatsdawg pound! I'm feeling really miserable now, ugh, pass the tissues.
Yup the seahaggis's comment was the weirdest.

My prediction....

'da Bears!

I'm with Design Goddess on this one, Go Zips

I base my predictions on the mascots. I have no clue what a zip is, but aren't the boilermakers bartenders or something? If so, does that make them Boilermaker-makers?

 
At 12:19 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

Phats they are picking on the spoilers, I mean boilers, again. Go sort them out.

At 7:28 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

Oh yes TGP ........... I'm with you on that one. At last the voice of reason.

 
At 8:11 PM , Blogger Unknown said...

At 11:00 PM , Blogger Phats said...

HOCKEY??? The NHL went on strike and not a damn person missed it. Hockey is only good for one thing, the fights!
