Check The Tape – Purdue (Now, with 33% More Pictures!) October 27, 2011 15 Comments

It took me 4 days to be able to watch this tape.  It is now deleted.  The only record of this game in my memory banks will be the photos below.  Everything else will be purged. This is much like the Purdue game in 1994 (Ken Dilger tackled at the one by a 122 pound [...]
