83 yr old Purdue fan lives long enough to celebrate Purdue Championship
The magnitude of Purdue winning the National Championship shouldn’t be measured in the years it took. We must also weigh the dedication, the passion and the resolve of the fans who have waited those years — in some cases decades, because its their pain and their faith that tells the real story.
Fans like Boilermaker Rick, a longtime Variance Explainer from New York. For most of his 83 years, Brick loved the Boilers. His passion for them was displayed to everyone in the form of endless debates about the tiniest of minutia. It’s also said the Boilers consumed many of the conversations that took place within his family get togethers, because he always hoped his Boilers would go all the way.
On Wednesday night at the Rose Bowl, it happened. The Boilers long championship drought ended with a dramatic 8-7 win over the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Three hours later, Brick died.
