I went to the game there in 2004.

I remember flat land and corn fields that went on for miles and miles.  Never saw so much flat land in my life.

I remember the train whistle they blew every time they scored.

I remember the World's Biggest Drum being wheeled out every time they scored.

I think it was the first time I saw SU get destroyed in person in a long time.  Probably since 1984.  It was unfortunately a harbinger of things to come.

Anyway, West Lafayette is an easy drive from Chicago.  I love Chicago.  With any luck, the game will be played early, when the Cubs or White Sox are still playing.

This should be a winnable game and maybe it will help jump start our recruiting in the Midwest.  As [USER=158]LeMoyneCuse[/USER] points out, recruiting around Chicago has dried up significantly the last year or so.

Good job by the AD office scheduling the game.  Makes a lot more sense than flying out to Pulman to play Washington State, or anywhere in Texas. It is good to see our schedules 4 or 5 years in the future getting close to fully blocked out.  We waited way too long to book OOC games with previous ADs and as a result ended up with awful schedules every year.  John Wildback gets it.  Good work John.
