Purdue's Danny Hope Has To Answer For Santino

I hope you haven't forgetten the BUSH LEAGUE move at the end of last year's game. I know I haven't...

--

11/7/09

 

After today's Purdue victory at Michigan Stadium, Hope reportedly introduced Rodriguez to Boilers offensive lineman Zach Reckman and said, "Thanks Coach, we appreciate what you did." The Big Ten suspended Reckman for a game in September after he delivered a late hit to a Northern Illinois player after Purdue lost to the Huskies. 

"I was a little disappointed that after the game their coach seemed to bring the lineman over like I was the reason that his lineman got suspended for that one game," Rodriguez told reporters in Ann Arbor. "I don’t know where that came from. I talked to him on the phone and told him that wasn’t me that -- this is way back when. I didn’t have anything to do with that young man getting suspended for that one game."

That 1995 game was epic.  I was a junior that year and by the end of the game the Big House was about 30% filled.  It started out cloudy, then it started raining in the first half, then it started sleeting, and then it turned to snow.  It was colder than a witches tit and neither offense could do anything in that weather.

Didn't we at the time have a long consecutive 102,501 attendance streak (this was before the 1st of 2 rennovations)?  Well, this game definitely broke that...it barely cracked 100,000 and the few people that were there for the announcement couldn't have been more surprised we hit that.  The attendance is supposedly based on tickets received at the gate...not sold.

Thank god for parents weekend for freshmen and a few other programs or we wouldn't have the XX games above 100,000 streak we have today.

No, it's based on sold tickets plus invited guests.  That's why the streak dates back to 1975.  We obviously did not have anywhere near 100K at the '95 PU game.
