Let’s not fault only the one wayward receiver for his boundless optimism that cost a sure touchdown or the unqualified staff for its continually bad coaching, because the problems are institutional. And though the athletics director surely would have say over excessive and misleading artwork within his foremost facility, just as he does on employing the coaches who bring and mentor the players, the buck doesn’t stop with Bobo and his circus. Blame reaches all the way up to the board who put their trust in the wrong places, in each case, ensuring Purdue football of finishing last in the league that Purdue founded, exactly as the Big Ten media had said it would. Everyone hang heads tonight. Everyone Mung Chiang tonight.
 
The layout of the football field is pretty cool, except for those lines you mention as double wide. It cost us a touchdown. I don't actually lay blame on the player or the coaches. The field crew, their superiors and that probably tops out at the athletic director should know better. Purdue is supposed to show intelligence along with its creativity, but this time they blew it. There has to be a voice of common sense within this part of the athletic program that would have caught this and fixed it.
