My article on the Purdue/Iowa game is in the paper today. But they left out the best section:
The Program
You can tell a lot about a school by its program. The Purdue program was a bit light on All-Americans and bowl victories, but heavy on academics. For example, Purdue has produced 19 current or former NASA astronauts. 19! That’s more than the number of indictments brought against Ohio State football players this year. Oh wait, no it’s not.
And Purdue is about more than just astronauts. There are the great athletes, leaders of Fortune 500 companies, generals, inventors and statesman. But one person on the list stood out above all others...Ted Allen. Who’s Ted Allen? None other than the food and wine connoisseur on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. The university must be so proud.
The boy’s take: “Isn’t Neal Armstrong that astronaut guy?”
