Breakfast Club is the greatest of all Purdue Traditions as it combines the two favorite activities of any Boiler: Football and Drinking. Sure, some ‘fans’ get up at 10 am, crack open a beer or tap a keg, grill hot dogs for breakfast and watch College GameDay on ESPN. Real Boilers, they go to Breakfast Club.

True fans can be seen waiting outside of Jakes at seven a.m. hungover, or still drunk, from the night before. Not only are these Boilers ready to start drinking the pains of another Purdue loss away, they are dressed like idiots to do so. Some costumes are incredibly creative – Captain Planet, Transformer, Blind Referee or even God. Some are far less original – girls dressed like ‘shackers’, cops, firewomen, librarians or any other short skirt costumes that guys love despite their overuse.

So don’t feel like a bad ass next time you sneak a six-pack of cheap beer to your dorm room before a game. The truly dedicated fans already stumbling home from the bars ready to Boiler Up!
