West Lafayette, Indiana. After a suspect and inexcusable six up and six down season, the Bowlermakers were called by Little Ceasar’s to be a part of their menu in Detroit on December 27. Their opponent in the Pizza Bowl will be the Chippewas of Western Michigan. How does an inexcusable 6-6 football team make it to a bowl game with a hopeless coach? The green stuff. The only thing that saved Purdue from an embarrassing derailment was their win over Indiana. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be talking about the hopeless Makers until August. Seven wins is just a feather in an otherwise dismal program to try and recruit new players away from IU and some real football programs. I was expecting coach Hope to put together a much better resume and go to Pasadena. Instead, the Purdue football program is languishing around in Detroit.
