Post-Game Recap: Purdue Trip

Last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to get a chance to go to Purdue for the Ohio State vs. Purdue game. It was through Block O and about 47 of us boarded a charter bus to make the four hour trip to West Lafayette, Indiana.

We left the stadium parking lot around 2 o clock, which is odd because all Ohio State home games start at 3 p.m. usually..where as most away games are at night, like this one. The trip their was easy enough..we did hit some traffic because of an accident right outside of West Lafayette but otherwise, it was smooth. Once we pulled onto campus..I was AMAZED. I would have thought I was at home on campus had I not known better. I saw Scarlet everywhere I looked. The bus parked around a bunch (probably ten) other huge charter buses and people were tailgating, cooking out, playing cornhole..etc. We had a quick bite to eat (Jersey Mike's provided subs to everyone) and then started our trek to the stadium. Now I must say, I think the trek was the best part of the trip. Why you ask? All 47 of marched to the stadium in SONG. We sang many Ohio State songs as loud as possible and it was amazing. Buckeye fans were cheering and clapping and sometimes singing along and Purdue fans just looked in wonder..they didn't quite know what to say.

It was sweltering hot and humid during the game. We were sweating our butts off and their stadium CRAMS the students in..it seemed like we could barely breathe.

The whole game was good but it seemed incredibly long..we won 23-7..they scored with about ten seconds left in the game. Overall, the crowd was great because i'd say it was 55-60 percent Ohio State fans..crazyness.

Here are some photos from the game:

This photo was after the game..it was right outside of the stadium.

Alright, lots of pics! As you can see, I def. had a blast..I had a chance to pick up OSU vs. Penn State tickets for the 27th at Penn State but I didn't need to spend the money and I am hoping to go to MICHIGAN so..I need to save up!

I want to show you guys my apartment and maybe some photos of campus/where I work in the next post..so be excited!
