Purdue?

Matt went this past weekend to a by invitation basketball event at Purdue University. Grandpa and Rod went with him. We are Big Ten fans but we root for Illinois first - Matt said it was weird to be in a Purdue shirt! What a great experience! Marlin and Coach Matt Painter had a conversation about them both marrying Saluki (SIU) women! Matt and Coach Matt Painter , Purdue Head Basketball Coach
Grandpa stopped Robbie Hummel and told him that he (Robbie) was one of his favorite Big 10 players and would he get his picture made with his grandson! Robbie was more than happy to pose with Matthew.
Getting ready to head in for a game! Great learning times!
We always visit stadiums and basketball venues on trips - Marlin had to walk over and check our the Purdue football stadium! Saturday will be a "holy" day in the Henley house with the beginning of college football! Bring on the glory days!
