I am ready to BTFU are you?

First off an apology for that last post, umm I didn't really proof read it and well you saw what happened haha I was tired what can I say. I need my all time favorite proof person from HS Bekah to do it again. I should hire her, she is a published author.

Also, wanted to update you on something I think is pretty damn cool that happened today. My stud #1 singles player that thru seasons is 56-4 signed her letter of intent to play her college tennis at a division 1 school! I am now the coach of a division 1 athlete it's so exciting, and honestly couldn't have happened to a nicer girl. All signs are pointing to my #2 player signing with a smaller school in the spring. I can't wait for this season to get here.

Onto Purdue football! We take on the HATED Michigan Wolverines, and I have never really been a big fan of them, but now that Rich Rod or shall I say DICKROD is there I really hate them and want to beat them. We have beaten them two straight years and this year they feature a high scoring high attack offense. The Boilers are coming off a much improved showing against the nationally ranked Wisconsin Badgers and in a loss alot of fans left Ross Ade optimistic for this week. The weather is not looking good calling for all day rain, maybe that will help slow down Michigan because I can't see our offense outscoring them, then again their defense couldn't catch a cold. This is a big one for so many reasons but mostly because we have 3 games left and we need two wins to get bowl eligible, and our next game is a trip to East Lansing, so I like our odds this week better.

Guest picking with me this week is none other than that Golden Flash herself Design Goddess! She has taken a little hiatus from blogging it seems but she does have a post up, take a look at it and comment I am sure she would appreciate it. Now onto the picks

Michigan Wolverines at Purdue Boilermakers(me!)
DG- Purdue over Michigan (cause I CAN'T vote for Michigan) - 38-21

Phats- We need this one in the worst way just to get back on the winning track and call me nuts but I think it's there for the taking. Our offense will HAVE to put up points, and the defense slows down UM at all we can do it. I like our chances, plus possibly 3 heroes could be on hand, Neil Armstrong and Captain Sully for sure both Purdue alums, but also possibly Drew Brees since the Saints are on their bye week, and we can't lose with those amazing individuals there can we??? BOILER UP..... HAMMER DOWN BABY
PURDUE 31 michigan 28
EDIT FINAL SCORE MICHIGAN 27 purdue 16 and yes we got SOAKED
