New Purdue faculty looking for my football people

I’m new to Purdue and still trying to find my people around here. I recently moved from SEC country, so college football Saturdays are very much my thing.

The problem is that I don’t really know anyone here yet who is into football. And by “into football,” I mean I want to watch the game, yell at questionable play-calling, debate whether we should have gone for it on 4th down, support the athletes whether they win or lose and fully commit to the whole Saturday experience without being a douche.

So, Purdue people:
Do faculty and staff actually go to games and tailgate? Is there an unofficial faculty/staff football crew that I somehow haven’t found yet?

More importantly, does anyone have room for one more at a tailgate or want a game buddy this season?

I’m perfectly capable of going to a game by myself and I probably will if I have to but football is a lot more fun with people. Especially when you’re brand new to town and still building a social circle.

So this is me putting it out there: I’m looking for Purdue football friends, tailgate buddies, and people who won’t judge me for being a girly girl Southern football type.

Feel free to comment or message me if you’re going to a game, tailgating, or know where the faculty/staff football people hang out or if you have a tailgate I should swing by.
