Purdue vs. Indiana
The roses were waving and the chants were numerous as the local Purdue Club revelers celebrated the end of the Big 10's second-longest Rose Bowl drought. Like Coach Tiller said, 'This is where you want to be, the Granddaddy of them all.' No recount needed here - it was Purdue 41, IU 13. Purdue hasn't witnessed such a rosy scene in 34 years. There was not much room left at Sidelines Sports Bar in Factoria for the Purdue crowd of 50 on Saturday!! We couldn't have been any louder. The party ended with a rousing rendition of 'Hail Purdue'.
