A Bowl Game & The #1 AP Poll Spot!?

What a year to be a Boilermaker! After being kept out of Mackey for the past year, nothing was more exciting than getting back in those lower bowl Paint Crew seats… except of course being ranked the #1 basketball team by the AP Poll for the first time in Purdue history. This year I came in pretty bummed I had to miss a whole year of Boilermaker football and basketball since my time here at Purdue typically revolves around the sports seasons. However, I would give up that year all over again if it meant Purdue football going to play in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, and us getting the #1 ranking. In just a few weeks I am heading with a few friends down to Nashville to watch Boilermaker football put the beat down on the Vols. In addition, I am collecting all the loyalty points I can being in Paint Crew to be able to cheer on Boilermaker basketball in the best seats possible throughout their road to the championship. There really is something special about going to a Big Ten school, especially Purdue who has one of the best atmosphere’s in college basketball.

Remember to Boiler Up, Hammer Down, and cheer on those Boilermaker sports!
