GOLDANDBLACK EXPRESS • VOLUME 25, EXPRESS 13 • 28 the other rivalry games at the end of the season. That's probably where I'd lean right now as opposed to going to Indianapolis. But Mitch and I will continue to talk about it." Daniels also spoke about the possibility of moving the game on his Nov. 21 appearance on "Gold and Black LIVE." "It is a darn shame that the Bucket game is on Thanksgiving weekend, cause there is nobody at either campus, it almost guarantees a weak crowd," Daniels said. "It is just the worst possible time, so I asked can't we find another date and may - be move it to a neutral site? It just makes sense to explore." The only option, though, may be moving the date, not the loca- tion. Indiana AD Fred Glass told The Indianapolis Star this week that he is "not in favor" of moving the game to Indianapolis and won't budge on that topic. He also strongly prefers keep- ing the rivalry on the last weekend of the schedule but said he is open to "other things that would help at- tendance." "The tradition is to have it the last game of the year. I like that. But there's no question that, now that that's Thanksgiving weekend, it's had an adverse impact on atten- dance, so I'd be willing to look at that," he told the paper. j IN THE OPPOSITE CORNER Comments from last week's opposing coach Indiana coach Kevin Wilson "Hard-fought game, we're very fortunate. Defensively, I know Purdue did a nice job of some things that made it hard for us; it was tough sledding. We didn't turn the ball over. We had the one fumble with (Shane Wynn) in the punt return, but Zander managed the passing game, didn't throw great but managed it well. Defensively, I thought it was an awesome effort; first half they didn't get much help. The way they battled gave us a chance to be in the game, because I think a couple of skill guys for Purdue were awfully special and good, and they played very, very well." Tom Campbell Kevin Wilson became the first Indiana coach since Bill Mallory to defeat Purdue in back-to-back seasons.
