Purdue. It's a name that invokes classic football. Some people seem to forget Drew Brees played at Purdue. So did Kyle Orton, Shaun Phillips, Rod Woodson, Bob Griese, Jim Everett, and Mark Herrmann. So if there's a football fan that doesn't think too much about the Boilermakers and Purdue Pete, think again. Heading into the 2012 season, Purdue will also show how inconsistent they've been over the past couple of years since Joe Tiller retired.Danny Hope is coming into his 4th season as the coach at Purdue. I know he was the offensive line coach at Purdue when Brees was there, but left shortly after for a coaching position at Eastern Kentucky. Formerly a head coach there at Eastern Kentucky, he carries with him a record of 51-43. However, if you look closer, he's 16-21 at Purdue. Even with upset wins over Ohio State and Michigan, that still exhibits a losing record. In 2012, I don't think his win percentage will increase by much.
