Just have to talk my wife into it. Maybe tell her we could go to the Opry Mills Mall on Saturday if we stay the night. This would probably cost me more than the tickets to the game.

Indy 166 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I've seen Moore firsthand. This kids is electric... a genuine threat to score every-single-time he touches the ball. And boy does he touch the ball. I'm pretty sure he's scored TDs on the ground, thru the air, and on special teams (although that last one I might be mistaken). Point is, he's got killer speed and Purdue will get him touches all over the field. Would not at all be surprised to see him in the Heisman discussion if he stays 4 years at Purdue...which I hope he doesn't! Nashville's a 5 hour drive for us coming down from Indianapolis, so we are actively discussing the trip. The ONE thing that keeps gnawing at the back of my mind, though, is the probability of a repeat from last year's bowl debacle. I hate to even let that though enter my mind but let's face it, after the effort we saw vs UCF last year and coming off another disappointing regular season finale.... Finally, this Tyler Trent kid is from the suburb I live in here in Indy. What a kid and what a story. From the get-go Purdue has welcomed him into their locker room and he really has become a huge part of their team this season. Hell, Indiana made him THEIR honorary team captain before the IU/Purdue showdown in Bloomington two weekends ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if Auburn loses, Gus will have his 2nd 7-6 record in his 6 years as Auburn's head coach. Another little tidbit from The Auburn Plainsman: "Malzahn is 1-4 in bowl games as Auburn's head coach. If he falls to 1-5, it would be the worst six-game stretch in program history. " So there's some additional motivation for Gus to have the Tigers ready to play to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Indiana made him THEIR honorary team captain before the IU/Purdue showdown in Bloomington two weekends ago. There are only two reasons to go to a minor bowl game. 1) It's close to you, or 2) It's being played in a cool city. If the outcome of the game enters your mind at any point in planning and would be the deciding factor in going or not, you're doing it wrong.

Linayus 676 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Man, I'd love to go this year. Sis-in-law just moved to Nashville this weekend and I have cousins in Brentwood. Would be a fun trip all around (win or lose). But instead we'll all be in Taos, NM (or on our way back down to El Paso, TX - I can't recall what day we leave). Bummer!

AU-HANDLEY-TIGER 205 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Man I know this sounds bad but I don’t think I can watch the ineptitude that is Auburn anymore this season. I wish them luck but I can’t watch that offense especially after I thought we would at least have a new Offensive Coordinator. Its madness same old approach expecting different results?

At least keep this part in mind: Quote Full transparency: I had a bad year last year. Seriously. I went 19-22, which included a national championship prediction of Clemson beating Oklahoma (how'd that turn out?), only one correct New Year's Six prediction (Wisconsin over Miami) and gems such as SMU over Louisiana Tech (Louisiana Tech won 51-10) and Toledo over Appalachian State (Appalachian State won 34-0). I don't even pick against the spread. Imagine the horror if I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Freak 2,528 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Purdue looks to have a pretty weak defense, which means all our typically bad play calls should work moderately well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,052 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Auburn wins this game big. Purdue has a terrible defense and a one sided offense. Stidham or whoever the Qb is should have a big game. I’m not sure how good their front 7 are but I’d imagine Auburn should be able to run against them. This game “should” be the equivalent of playing Arkansas or Ole Miss. Auburn’s biggest test will be stopping big passing plays. I’m confident a rested defense will shut down Purdue’s running game.
