Just to get you excited, the Purdue basketball schedule poster is out. It features the team lined up across the horizon of the photo, seemingly in a darkened Mackey. You can figure out who many of the players are (Isaac, you cannot hide), but the theme of the poster is "Remember the name." I love it... that tagline coupled with the players being somewhat "faceless" gives off a number of messages. For one, the idea of "team." This is not a group of players or several great players and some good supporting staff. This is a team. It doesn't matter who gets the credit.

Also, something that many Purdue fans can latch onto is the "nobody's talking about us" angle. Remember the name... Purdue. Because you're going to be hearing it a bit this season.

And, of course, the concept of a darkened space with something powerful emerging from it..... like a train, perhaps?

46 days to exhibition game number 1, everybody. The train is coming.

Choo choo, muthas.
