Ugh, @ Purdue, Noon kickoff, BTN...

[censored] 2009. [censored] Purdue.

I'm trying to decide whether to go over for the game. It's only a couple hours from my house, could be fun to drink some beer and tailgate with some Buckeye fans.

Who's all going/tailgating?

I'll be there.

I'll be there.

I will be there

Rhino's in Georgetown.

Why is it that the DC chapter decided on a place that isn't metro accessible?

 

[TooTall]

I may go. I'm seeing tickets for as low as $44. I'm intrigued.

I think we know why Purdue has sent so many of its grads to outer space:

Well played, sir.

Good question. Parking in Georgetown isn't a pleasure either.

Over those early years Purdue's football team were called 'grangers,' 'pumpkin-shuckers,' 'railsplitters,' 'cornfield sailors,' 'blacksmiths' and 'foundry hands,' but ultimately it was 'Boilermakers' that finally stuck.

I prefer the "Cornfield Sailors" (although the Pumpkin Shuckers is a close second). From now on, I will refer to Purdue as the Cornfield Sailors.

The game will be at noon.

Hopefully the team will figure out how to wake up early and get ready for the game since that was apparently a problem last week (based on post-game interviews).

Virtually nowhere in Georgetown is metro accessible.

Cornholed Sailors?

I just hope that Ohio State doesn't get "Cornholed" in this game against Purdue. Why do we have a hard time in winning at lafayette. I am nervous about this game. I sure hope we don't have another one like what happened
in 2009. This is a must win game for Ohio State.

to be fair...every game is a must win..


but yea, there are 2 places I am always nervous about playing at, and that's Purdue and Northwestern..

that doens't include the obvious places like Penn St and Mich and Wiscy

but of like the lesser teams that can upset you

Cornholed Sailors?

"Even better....cornholed seam-"
"I like cornholed sailors."
"Me, too!"

FIFY (unless you want to walk about a mile, which I don't consider "Metro accessible"). But anyway, I wasn't asking why the DC chapter picked a place in Georgetown that wasn't metro accessible; I was asking why they chose a place in Georgetown at all, considering that neighborhood isn't Metro accessible.
