importance of any Purdue Basketball or Football game relative to so many really important things in life that before "some" games my breathing shortens, I'm a bit more irritable...a bit more on edge I start getting a bit meaner, a lot more intense, a slight headache and sometimes a distant look through what it appears I'm seeing at my age? I have improved in my acceptance of whatever results happen very quickly, but the pregame still has anxiety
I mean I'm not making any decisions into what happens, have little invested and fully aware that anything could happen and my life is relatively unchanged. Yet, Mich, MSU, OSU, IU and Maryland get my blood going a bit. I don't get that way if Purdue is really bad...except for playing maybe IU and dealing with the nongrads. Thankfully I get over things quickly...win or lose. However, this team has some REALLY great kids on it that have reached deeper than many to maximize their abilities more than most and so you want "THEM" to reach their goals. Have a little pregame Jack to prepare and have to decide how I watch the Iowa game since I may not be home at 12 that day? Anyway, nah...I suspect there are others afflicted like us but maybe they haven't sat around in a circle with group therapy enough to talk freely...
It is the carbs and so I stay away from the hops generally and go to Jack since rain is a good thing. rain makes corn and corn makes whiskey and whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky

You know ol' Amway mantra --- You can't really enjoy the highest peak unless you've been to the lowest valley. --- it's just your subliminal conscious making sure you can exuberate as high as possible in a few hours.importance of any Purdue Basketball or Football game relative to so many really important things in life that before "some" games my breathing shortens, I'm a bit more irritable...a bit more on edge I start getting a bit meaner, a lot more intense, a slight headache and sometimes a distant look through what it appears I'm seeing at my age?

I'm still drawing circles on a dry erase board but the $$$ isn't flowing.

Betsy took all mine .... but #2 mantra is ... wait for it .... keep on, keepin' on.
The more I watch this, the more I think nothing ever changes ...And this, more than anything, has led to my drinking problem...................
I have no problem drinking at allAnd this, more than anything, has led to my drinking problem...................
Sounds like a good Purdue fan to me. We live for pain and anxiety.

I slipped a bit on my first...the bottle was cold and ended with 4+. Kim just came home and was surprised I ate without her. I told her she was probably going to have salad and I was ready for burgers and then she said she was thinking tenderloins which would have been fine. Getting ready...
I think since the early to mid 70s I could NOT have missed more than 5 games either in person, TV and one I recall on radio where Purdue played Iowa State in a close one and Zo took a charge from Holenberg (sp?) to win it? Rented a Motel in Florida in 79 just to watch the NIT. Now I already see problems in seeing live the Iowa game this year...
That's a dedicated fan - renting a whole Motel just to watch some games.I think since the early to mid 70s I could NOT have missed more than 5 games either in person, TV and one I recall on radio where Purdue played Iowa State in a close one and Zo took a charge from Holenberg (sp?) to win it?

Ha Ha...yeah, just one room twice for both days. The guy that rented it could have rented teh whole Hotel since he was partners in the horse business with Danny Lasater ) Clinton's Bond daddy and previous Ponderosa owner.
That story is a whole another day! Go Boilers!

Kim's sister is moving Saturday and I told her I could help until 11:15 or after 2:30. I'll do whatever, but the game was scheduled in advance and other events should be able to move around them...
I'll trade you some of that cleaner for a product that makes water wetter!!!
I've been a season ticket holder for 37 years and am getting close to 500 Purdue that I've seen in person.

Yep, Danny was pardoned at the same time...85 like part of your moniker I think? Danny had an 1800 acre farm in Ocala, FL. After the pardon Roger woked on the farm with a gradeschool to Purdue friend who now is in the horse business in Ocala and it was his oldest brother that was a partner in the horse business with Danny. Brent bought Smarty Jones for a client, but haven't seen him in probably 10 years...
OMG...hell, my parents held up a sisters wedding until I could get cleaned up after pitching in little league years ago. I couldn't schedule that either, but a wedding was a scheduling choice!
