Fan of the Game

Back in August, Ally was selected and asked by the John Purdue Club if she could be the JPC Fan of the Game at one of the Purdue football games this season.  Because she gets to go to so many events and she is the cutest cheerleader there, she gets noticed a lot.  Of course we said yes and it was set up for the last game of the season against Indiana.  Of course I had to work and could not go but Ally got to be featured on the video board during the game and was given 2 seats in the Shivley Club which meant she could sit inside and keep warm.  Ally bundled up to record the video board spot during pregame with the whole family and then split time between the outdoor and indoor club seats to watch the game.  She had a great day! We had a few friends recognize the group on the video board and hopefully they will be able to send us the video so I can actually see it too. 

Ally's Purdue obsession has become totally crazy.  She knows all the words to Hail Purdue, will only wear jerseys on game days and loves to go to any event in any sport. She has a particular affinity for Purdue Pete, MerrieBeth the Golden Girl and the cheerleaders.  On her last trip she picked up one of the cheerleading squads posters and now calls it her "cheerleader calendar" and puts it in various places around the house.  She insists that Purdue Pete is a member of her family and keeps her eyes on him at all times, not afraid of him at all which I find shocking.  They couldn't have picked a better Fan of the Game in our opinion because she truly is the #1 fan!
