West Lafayette, Indiana – CFB News Now had a chance to catch up with a group of Purdue football fans at Harry’s Chocolate Shop on Friday shortly after Notre Dame’s 27-17 win over in-state opponent Indiana to gauge their response to the first game of the new 12-team College Football Playoff.
“I know ties aren’t a thing anymore, but man…I sure wish they were,” said Connor Caplan, a mechanical engineering student and frequent breakfast club organizer.
“On the one hand, you have Notre Dame, a football school with a bunch of fans who didn’t go there. On the other hand, you can’t spell ‘FAILURE’ without IU,” said a clearly inebriated Kelly McIntyre, a junior in the environmental sciences school. “Boiler up!” she shouted as she chased a mouthful of popcorn down with a shot of 151.
“Why couldn’t we have some kind of weather event in South Bend?” said Purdue alum Jeff Williams over a pitcher of beer. “Nothing serious, not with anyone getting hurt or anything, but just enough to postpone the game, like…forever,” Williams concluded.
