Just getting ya ready for it

Football season is right around the corner, in fact the high school season in Indiana starts this Friday. So, to get ya ready I thought i'd share some fun video clips of the atmosphere at Purdue and Ross Ade Stadium, and next week I will preview the upcoming Purdue football season, BTFU! It should be noted none of these are my videos, I found them on youtube.

First up, 2 hrs before kickoff the Purdue band, and of course my friends the cheerleaders do what's called Thrill On the Hill, that takes place on Slayter Hill. It's a fun little pep session to get you ready for the game, enjoy these two clips from it. The first is the band, in my humble opinion the best damn band in the land, getting the pep session started. Second is the Horse led by the golddusters, and the cheerleaders a band cheer they have been doing since even before I was there.





Naturally the next thing is the run onto the field, and I am bummed I found a good one from the Ohio State game 2 yrs ago, but the owner won't let you embed it so this will have to do.



Of course once the game starts we have our own traditions, of doing the Boiler Up arms on third down, cheering Boiler Up when we hold them on 3rd down, and our first down cheer which when we started it was "1 2 3 4 FIRST DOWN!" unfortunately in the last 2 yrs the students have added the word "bitch" to the end haha.







One of my favorite traditions, is between the third and fourth quarter, somebody(usually a famous alum or current coaches of other sports) introduce the song SHOUT and the whole stadium gets involves and dances. Of course a little cheesy, I love it, this one was special and I was on the field of for this one(it was homecoming) as first astronaut to walk on the moon and Purdue alum Neil Armstrong was the guest conductor, lets just say even the NW fans were in awe of this one! The guy video gets into this!



Of course every Purdue victory ends with the team over at the student section singing the greatest fight song in the world HAIL PURDUE!



Hope ya enjoyed a look into the sights and sounds of Purdue football, and get ready as the season is right around the corner! GO BOILERS!
