Go Ahead, Purdue fans...

Go ahead, fellow Purdue fans...

Give me the time that this fanbase was this geeked up before a game...

Let me know when we as a fanbase, were this unified heading into a game...

Tell me the last opener in which the fanbase was this energized...

There's no doubt there's already a different feel. Coach Haze has already changed the culture...at least a bit.

When you hear the coach speak, there's a calmness and thoughtfulness about it that gives fans confidence. His cerebral and organized approach has been more than a breath of fresh air, it's been an oxygen tank and IV to a disjointed, disinterested and disgruntled fanbase that was on life support.

The only thing left to do is play a game and see how this translates to on-field results.

High noon is 3.5 hours away, ladies and gentlemen.
