2009?[edit]

So when is the 2009 Purdue Boilermakers football team article going to be started? All of the other Big Ten Conference teams have one already.TomCat4680 (talk) 08:17, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well no one responded so I started it myself. TomCat4680 (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who ever is editing this page and adding Illinois as a rival, post your facts. Purdue's Big Ten rivals are designated by the Big Ten and the two teams are Indiana and Northwestern. Their non Big Ten rival is Notre Dame. Purdue plays Illinois for 4 years and skips 2 years, so how is this a rivalry? I have been a Purdue season ticket holder for over 20 years and I can't count how many times the games with Illinois had empty seats both at Purdue and at Illinois, so where is the rivalry? Playing for some token trophy in no way makes a rivalry, so by all means post FACTS on how you think Illinois is in a rivalry with Purdue. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.53.47 (talk) 18:23, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All Time Team[edit]

I would like to know who entered this information and what was the source. The Univeristy sponsored an all-time team in 1987 for the 100th anniversary of Purdue Football. This team is clearly not the one sponsored and selected by the university. Please put the real one back (Griese at QB, Dave Butz, Greg Bingham, Otis Armstrong and a host of other real ones)

I'm thinking this has got to be a more modern day player with a wish list. Leaving out a Pro Bowler and 4 time Super Bowl winner Keena Turner (Purdue Hall of Fame) makes this lose credibility. Although Dorsch kicked a bunch of field goals, he goes down as one of the worst clutch kickers of all-time. His FG% was inferior to his opponents and if you think Notre Dame, Penn State, Georgia, Washington you know why he was not liked there at all.

Matt Light[edit]

Matt Light played for New England for his entire career and he isnt on the former players list. Someone needs to add him — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.27.14.12 (talk) 03:20, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's be handled. Thanks for the reminder DMC511 (talk) 16:26, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
