I don't think that's true. I think you can do all of that at the Purdue Bug Bowl every April as well.MarleysGh0st wrote:http://www.theithacajournal.com/apps/pb ... 90354/1002

Over 30,000 people attend the Bug Bowl each year. It's a huge event.

You mean the basketball team that has won the most Big 10 games in its history.
The team that has won the most Big Ten basketball championships.
The team that has a winning record against every other team in the Big Ten.
That's what I thought.
No matter where you go, there you are.
