Well, this is new- as in, this year, new. The news came out in 2013 that we had signed to play a Home-and-Home with Purdue University, marking the first two times these universities have met to play football. We play away this year....they come a-callin' in 2023. Purdue is a fellow land-grant school in Indiana, established in 1869. West Lafayette is much like Blacksburg, in that it's a small town dominated by the university that occupies it, with Purdue being a slightly larger university than Virginia Tech is. Both have a heavy academic lean, especially toward the sciences and engineering.
