Put another P on the ol' Oaken Bucket!


The Oaken Bucket game was an Oaken Blowout this year!
Lee and I went down to Lafayette to tailgate for the game. We had offers of tickets to go inside, but it was pretty cold, and I liked having the option of going into a house to warm up!
At the beginning of the day, a kid at the tailgate predicted a Purdue win 55 to nothing. We all laughed... And then the game started and it looked like a distinct possibility!

The Boilers ended up destroying the Hoosiers 62 to 10. Ouch! But, what a great way for Joe Tiller to end his Purdue/IU rivalry.
Lee and I hit two different tailgates. I tore up the beer pong table. Don't worry, I was drinking root beer. (Although I kept saying it was Guinness.) It turns out I'm a better beer pong player sober. I never would have known that before... My reflexes were much better than when I am usually playing! The 2nd game that we played, someone filled up the cups with all normal beer, so my partner Andrew stepped up and drank for both of us. It kind of balanced things out. One sober teammate and one really drunk one!
It was a fun day, but chilly!
Then on Sunday, yummy Thanksgiving at the Plothow residence. Mmmmm. I'm so ready for two more Thanksgivings!
