I always enjoy when Purdue plays at Illinois. The drive over to Chambana is an easy one fromt Indianapolis, tickets are cheap, they have a Binny’s Beverage Depot for a wealth of beers, there is still a living, breathing Garcia’s Pizza, and Illinois usually is not a good football team. I have done this trip six times now and four times I have come back with a win.
Today was right on par with that. We headed out at noon to make the drive over to Champaign. Interstate 74 had construction almost the entire 114 miles from Indianapolis to Champaign, but we got over there in time to raid Binny’s like pirates before kickoff.
