Ladies and gentlemen... I am a visiting Iowa fan and I have been doing some thinking today.
2020 has been a strange year for billions of people and I suspect Purdue fans are no exception.
We have seen a pandemic challenge both our institutions and all of us as individuals. We have watched and listened as a new generation of Americans remind us that even though we've come a long way in regards to racial inequality, we still have a long ways to go. We have endured a political campaign with accelerating vitriol and mistrust aired in increasingly shocking manners many though impossible after the unity we felt less than 20 years ago after those towers fell.
And finally we have football again, a tradition that reminds us what is possible when we work hard in unity. And which brings us so much joy.
I am reminded to never forget what is really important and that is....
We hate Purdue. And we have always hated Purdue. I can't wait to watch the Hawkeyes bash your stupid skulls in tomorrow!
