At the noon kickoff tomorrow at Ross-Ade Stadium, fans will witness the end of an era—Coach Tiller’s last game. He has been the winniest coach in Purdue history, despite his less than successful final season with the Boilermakers.

Another era will come to an end tomorrow—it will be quarterback Curtis Painter’s last game as a Boilermaker. Similar to Tiller, Painter has not had nearly as successful a season as in the past.

Both Tiller and Painter have more than just their final games in common. Both were extremely successful while being at Purdue, and yet both are ending their final seasons with less than a pleasurable season. Neither are ‘loved’ by many fans (especially the student section), and many are glad their seasons and times at Purdue are over. Many fans are ready for a change, despite the success both brought to the program.
