Hello all - mostly a lurker, but I lived in Ames for 5-6 years and now am back in Indiana.

I have a Purdue degree, wife has an Iowa State degree.

If you guys have any questions on Purdue, especially if you are heading in for the game, please let me know!

The biggest question, and best advice I can give is regarding parking:

Do not pay to park. There is ample parking in the neighborhood that is just NE of West Lafayette high school. If you arrive to the game 30+ minutes prior, there will be plenty if you do not mind a 10 minute walk. Can post a diagram of best spots to look for parking if needed.

Welcome to West Lafayette!

Do you guys have anyone that would be a good football coach

...Look at Purdue's football records the past 3 years and you tell me. I'm thankful for Iowa State having every game televised the past few years.

Room is read and I'm still sad. My wife actually text me about 30 minutes ago and said "Matt Campbell is leaving Iowa State? I'm so SAD. I liked him" and I had to reassure her that it wasn't a done deal yet.

If you give us a big NIL loan to keep our football coach, we'll thank you by only shooting 60% from 3 tomorrow

Purdue has no NIL, I am convinced. Hell, Purdue shut down their collective.

If you’re on campus and see some street names that sound familiar, it’s because Purdue hired a previous president from Iowa State

Hell we shut down our collective, signed up the head to run NIL for the AD, and he took one look around and quit because we have no hope anymore.

Excited for the game tomorrow. I think most of us are expecting Purdue to win as it is very tough to win in Mackey. But we are at least hoping for a competitive game

But after the events of today, we just need something to smile about. Sorry if some fans may get snippy… it’s been an emotional day for many of us

Can’t wait for the rematch next year in Hilton

I am excited for the Cyclone fans to be in Mackey! I unfortunately won't be in attendance, but if I didn't have work duties I would have 100% been in there with a Purdue sweatshirt and an Iowa State hat!

I'm excited to hear feedback on the environment, as I do believe it's the best in the country having been to every of the "best arenas" on those subjective lists.

Met a Purdue grad this wk if I was 30 yrs younger I would have asked for her digits. Nice gal and was looking forward to tomorrow's game, told her we were also.

I'm looking forward to a entertaining game tomorrow, hope it ends our way, but it is a chance for both teams to be highlighted.
Lead off game on CBS is a great thing.

Hilton and Mackey are easily top 10 arenas. It will be fun for each program to experience each others amazing home environment
