GAME #16: PURDUE-IN IT AGAIN SOMEDAY

PENN STATE @ PURDUE

9.1.22

PENN STATE - 35

PURDUE - 31

BEST ONE YET, TO A DEGREE THAT WE WANT TO GO BACK JUST TO VISIT. CHEERS TO YOU, LAFAYETTE, INDIANA [ALSO, IT WAS AN 8PM GAME. WE GOT DRUNK, NEEDED A 'POWER NAP' AND MANAGED TO WAKE UP JUST IN TIME TO GET TO THE GAME AND MISSED ALL MANNER OF TAILGATING]! THE TOWN OF LAFAYETTE AND PURDUE'S CAMPUS ARE BOTH BEAUTIFUL!

ONCE AGAIN SMALL TOWN AMERICA WINS THE DAY. PURDUE IS A LOT LIKE AUBURN, WAZZU, OREGON, ETC. QUAINT TOWNS WITH GREAT PEOPLE.

THE STADIUM ATMOSPHERE IS AWESOME! FANS WERE REALLY NICE, AS PER USUAL IN SMALL TOWN USA. BEING DRESSED IN IRRELEVANT APPAREL DIDN'T SEEM TO BOTHER ANYONE THIS TIME. IT APPEARED PENN STATE WAS GOING TO RUN AWAY WITH IT, SO WE LEFT AT HALFTIME. ENDED UP REALLY CLOSE, WITH PENN STATE TAKING THE LEAD AT THE VERY END AND WINNING. MUCH MORE THRILLING THAN IT LOOKED LIKE IT WOULD BE AT HALFTIME. WATCHED THE REST AT A BAR CALLED BROTHER'S, WHICH WAS A STELLAR SPOT TO DO SO. HARRY'S CHOCOLATE SHOP IS THE BIG NAME BAR, BUT IT'S CONSISTENTLY PACKED, EVEN DURING THE GAME [LINE AROUND THE CORNER PACKED].

GAME TIP - NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY. MAYBE DON'T GET HAMMERED AND MISS TAILGATING?

TRAVEL TIP - YOU HAVE TO DRIVE FROM INDIANAPOLIS, BUT IT'S NOT THAT FAR AND STRAIGHT UP THE INTERSTATE. WE - HILARIOUSLY - WENT OUT OF OUR WAY TO HAVE DINNER AT THE ANGRY DONKEY IN MICHIGANTOWN, INDIANA, BECAUSE I'M RIDICULOUS. IT WAS ACTAULLY STELLAR AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE OFFSHOOT.

WHAT TO EAT - MICHIGANTOWN - THE ANGRY DONKEY. LAFAYETTE - SGT. PRESTON'S. GREAT FOOD, WENT TWICE AND WILL DEFINITNELY GO BACK. TELL THEM I SENT YA!

UP NEXT - ILLINOIS STATE @ WISCONSIN
