The Oaken Bucket

Everyone has been bugging us to go tailgating all Purdue season. We've always either had a conflict, or a good excuse not to go. But, we got cornered early in the year and committed to the IU/PU game this past weekend. Of course, it was the last game, so we couldn't use the excuse "We'll come next time!" anymore......and it was the coldest day of the year! WOW! It was bitter.

Baker and Leslie stayed the night at our house the evening before, and they LITERALLY were up at 6:00 to go to the intramural field early. Uuuuhhhhhhh, NO THANKS! We got there around 9:00. Brent had made some chili soup, and Dan and I stopped on the way to pick up coffee (appropriately mixed with Bailey's), so we did have something to keep us warm. We didn't need a cooler to keep the beer cold, though. It did fine on its own. :)

We didn't go to the game, but we did listen to it on the radio while we were on our way to Logansport to pick up Trevor. :) The result was astounding! Purdue won the game 62-10, on Joe Tiller's last game at Ross Ade. Bittersweet ending to a horrible season. :)

Here's some pictures.

Mark and Brent. They look a little chilled.

Leslie, Ryan and I. (Yep, that's right, even though I was cold, I was still drinking a beer!)
Gretchen, Leslie and Jamie......three of my favorite people!

Dan and I. He looks half asleep.
And even MORE asleep in THIS picture of him and Leslie. Isn't he adorable?

My Best Friend Baker. Awww..... :)
