Go Hoos! Armstrong for Heisman and the first overall pick! He'll need all the nanomachines he can get to withstand the beating he'll take behind our debacle of an offensive line this season.

Which I know contributes nothing to the conversation and I wasn't going to post, but I like the idea of the first two posts being about ACC schools, and neither one being Clemson or FSU.
 
Well, if we're going to stan our teams...

Hey Fami, not sure who to cheer for this season? Not particularly attached to any school, but want to get in on the fun? Well, let me ask you a couple questions:

Do you like trains?

Do you like very large drums?

Then you will LOVE

THE PURDUE BOILERMAKERS!!!



Playing in historic Ross-Ade Stadium in beautiful West Lafayette, Indiana, the Purdue Boilermakers are the perpetual boogeyman of the Big Ten. Jeff Brohm's squad has made waves in recent years, defeating the #2 and #3 ranked teams in the nation just last year, and are looking to build on their success following a thrilling win against the Tennessee Volunteers in last season's Music City Bowl. While the team has lost several of its recent star players, they return an improved defensive unit, several veteran receivers, and former walk on turned dark horse Heisman candidate Quarterback Aiden O'Connell. With a light schedule this year, many see this as a solid candidate to win the west division of the Big 10 this year, though given the team's penchant for rising to beat giants and then stumbling over mediocre teams, perhaps this isn't the blessing it appears.

So why should you cheer for the Boilermakers?

Well, they say you should go big or go home, so why not cheer for the team with the biggest mascot in college football, The Boilermaker Special!

06_Boilermaker_Main.jpg


This majestic train travels with the team and proudly displays the hats of its vanquished foes in the teeth of its cow catcher. Oh, is this not the mascot you heard of? Perhaps you were thinking of... him?

Purdue Pete was originally the mascot of the University Book Store near campus, but has since become the unofficial mascot of the program, and has been voted as often creepy or terrifying to small children. The children are right to be afraid. When the black magiks align and Pete hungers for chaos, miracles happen. No one is safe. He's ruined the dreams of championship hopefuls before, and he will do so again.

And who can forget the Purdue All-American Marching Band? One of the best marching bands in the nation, and especially well known for the self proclaimed World's Largest Drum*. Aside from dutifully accompanying the sports teams wherever they may go, this band is also the home band of the Indianapolis 500 motor race!

boiler-football-boiler-up.gif


Who else has the composure to deal with this crap with such grace? (Warning swearing)



"Hey man, I'm just here to play music." By the way, Purdue did win this game.

Closing thoughts: The first game of the season is coming up in one week against Penn State. Purdue is a slight under dog, as Penn State is a historic conference powerhouse, even if they have down the last few years. This will be a chance to see if the Boilermakers can contend with the big dogs of the conference, so a win would be huge, but I'll be happy so long as they play well. Anyway, I thank you all for indulging in my silliness, and look forward to this season. I'll be posting lots of pictures in this thread I think.

Boiler up!

*Purdue's Big Bass Drum, often given the moniker "World's Largest Drum" was given this designation when it was originally cast and considered the largest drum of its kind when constructed. Another drum, Big Mo' from Missouri contest the title, but as they declined Purdue's invitation to compare them directly, the title remains.

So, I have family ties to Penn State, but if I promise to root for Purdue in that game, can I get UVa one of those coveted Big Ten invites?

The good thing about being a Pitt fan like Brock is that no matter what happens, even if they never win another game and the program goes bankrupt and folds, it doesn't matter because the 2007 Backyard Brawl happened and nothing can change that.
 
Going to be watching Nebraska and Northwestern playing in Ireland today. Northwestern is supposed to be still pretty bad this year, but Scott Frost’s Nebraska is very talented at finding ways to lose, so this may turn out to be an interesting game.

I… wasn’t wrong.
 
Go Washington! It’s a reset year after the disaster of last year, but I want to at least kick the ass of those traitorous Trojans (and the stupid Ducks). Also for my wife, Go cougs!
 
After the chaos that was the last few months with realignment, it was nice to see college football again. Go Illini! Can't wait to see week 1, starting Thursday.

Also, LOL Nebraska.

Who you rooting for Josh? Northwestern as a Chicagoan? Illini?

I pretty much root for all Big Ten teams as a mid-westerner. Illinois gets the slight edge over Northwestern but it is rare to see both schools hot so I generally go with the better team on any given year.

There are a few other teams that I will tend to root for if they were big when I started watching CFB back around 2000 like Oklahoma and FSU. As a Catholic I am required to root for Notre Dame as well.

Lol. Always liked ODU since I collaborated on some graduate school research with them in northern Virginia. Let’s see how you do against the Spiders (not sure how bad they are at football lol)

Yeah. Had USC not been shit for a decade, the PAC might be in a much better situation. Instead they bolt and we are left dealing with the mess Larry Scott left. I guess the only good thing is in 20 years the Midwest will have hemorrhaged more population so the western schools will look more appealing.

Once the playoff expands, the top six ranked conference championships get automatic spots. So let all the good schools go to just two conference. Make the ACC as weak as possible. I will help Clemson, FSU, and Miami pack their bags. Would UVa win an ACC that's even weaker than it already is? No, but the chance goes from 0.1% to a full 1%!!!! (Though I will still VERY happily accept a Big Ten or SEC invite. Come on, we offer so much. Do we have fans? No, but we do have 10 lacrosse championships between the men and women, and we offer an easy win in football every year.)

Kind of annoying that one of the 12 spots is basically going to be earmarked for Notre Dame every year.

Exactly. Oregon and Washington are better served staying in the PAC now

Feel bad for the East Carolina kicker. Missed PAT to tie and then missed kick that would have won it.

East Carolina is my joke favorite. I never expect them to win, but I keep tabs on them. Their defense played a fantastic second half, all to lose it on a kick.

I liked the part where Virginia won. I disliked the part where we looked terrible doing it against the 24th ranked FCS team. It's gonna be another long season.

I also disliked the part where the ACC looked bad. Something we contributed to.

Anyway, Nebraska is tied with North Dakota right now.

The Big Ten West isn't looking great this year so far, which is kind of comforting.

Also oooof Oregon. Apologies, Bill Trinen.

Every year that I continue to think Oregon will be good makes me more and more of a boomer.

"You young'uns don't understand! Oregon used to be elite! They were so cool that some people (not me) even pretended that the debacles Nike made them wear looked good!"

Yet no national championships (says the Huskies fan even though they’ve owned the Dawgs for 2 decades basically).

Tell your commissioner to get the Pac-12 Network on the east coast. I want to watch the Battle of the Palouse for one (1) hour before watching Boise State at Oregon State. 😤

Lol. I love me some PNW matchups. Pullman is a pretty fun place to visit for a game too.
 
Family ties in SEC and Big 10 country.

Sadly, it’s Arkansas and Illinois.

I went to Southern Illinois University. So, no investment there.

My only real rooting interest is chaos. Bring on the 12 team playoff.

Loved me some Salukis when they had those NCAA tourney runs. Not exactly close but had family in Quincy, so spent a lot of time in southern Illinois.

Josh's Week 1 recap:

  • It is Bama, Georgia, Ohio St, and then everyone else.
  • The Pac 12 has been eliminated from the CFB Playoff discussion.
  • Iowa sent college football back ten years with their performance Saturday.
  • The state of Florida had a really good weekend, but I'm not convinced that any of them are serious players just yet.
  • The ACC did not look strong, but all of the big names are still undefeated.
  • Illinois still has a long way to go.
  • FSU/LSU was a beautiful mess.
  • RIP the duck.

Hold up. We have USC, Washington, Wazzu, and ASU playing against some top 15 teams out of conference still. Plus Arizona plays Mississippi state. Now I don’t think any of those teams win out, but still possible. Plus Oregon state and usc play against a Fresno State team that’s probably better than half the Pac-12 and should be ranked by the end of the season. But two of the three top chances are done basically (though I could see Utah sneaking in if they win out convincingly and Florida stays ranked all year.

But pac 12 is definitely screwed once USC leaves unless the football investment really takes off. Should have tried to get Baylor and Oklahoma state last year at a minimum when the big 12 was tie for poaching (to be clear, I want the traditional conference to remain but that ship seems to have sailed).
