The Train is Coming

Well, the calendar has turned to August so that means Boilermaker football is almost here and I CAN'T wait!!! Practices actually started yesterday and the first game is just weeks away. Heads up I will be doing a pick em on here again each week would love to have you all help and guest pick again makes it more fun. As for the Boilers fans are excited for the first time in year's mostly because our AD finally pulled the plug on our inept coach Danny Hope, and hired a guy who has done a fantastic job getting Boiler Nation excited in Coach Hazell, formerly of Kent State(yes DG that kent state!) Since he was hired he spent time getting the students excited about the upcoming season, he went to the cafeteria and ate with them, hung out with the Paint Crew at a basketball game, went to a frat/sorority party and then he attacked the community, speaking whenever possible to the fanbase and it worked ticket sales are way up. When it comes to the season having a winning one will be hard, getting to 6-6 isn't impossible but need to survive a brutal stretch that includes the B1G's toughest OOC schedule, and quite possibly one of the toughest OOC schedules in the country. Getting to a bowl game even a crappy one I firmly believe he will have earned his paycheck. I will go more in depth on a later post of the upcoming season. So, what time you rooting for I need to know so I know who to pick, and how's your team looking? What a monster first game match up of Clemson vs UGA that's going to be a blockbuster, and I bet a CRAZY atmosphere. Hope everyone has a great week, it's back to work for me in a few :( boo!! Phats
