It’s time for Big Ten play! The first step towards a championship comes tonight in Mackey Arena against the same team that ruined last year’s Big Ten title hope. Iowa played Purdue twice last year and beat us twice. In fact, they were the only visiting team to win in Mackey Arena all season. This year they feature the Big Ten’s leading scorer in Peter Jok, but I have news for them: Purdue has already lost its allotment of games at home.
Today’s preview will be slightly different. Max Brekke, the man who runs the propaganda rag Black Heart Gold Pants of Our Most Hated Rival asked me some questions as a sort of détente in this always spicy rivalry.
