GOLD AND BLACK ILLUSTRATED VOLUME 27, ISSUE 3 8 Mike Bobinski Boiler Index: Smoking Hard not to be on board with Purdue's new athletic director as the calendar turns to 2017, after Bobinski targeted Jeff Brohm early in the hiring process then got his man. Only time will tell whether Brohm can be successful, but the early reaction is about as good as could be expected, potentially igniting a fan base that was in need of a spark. Caleb Swanigan Boiler Index: Steaming Caleb Swanigan couldn't have enjoyed a much better mid-December run than the performances he turned in vs. Notre Dame and Western Illinois. Against the Irish, he was the difference offensively and defensively — he had four blocked shots — helping Purdue to its biggest non-conference win. He followed that with 21 points and 21 rebounds vs. the Leathernecks. Ashley Morrissette Boiler Index: Smoldering After a shaky start, Ashley Morrissette took over the controls at the point and guided Purdue to six straight victories from the end of November to the middle of December. She's playing the best basketball of her career, not only scoring (15.1 points per game as of mid-December), but assists too (4.4), the 15th- and seventh-best marks in the Big Ten. — Kyle Charters Boiler Index Gold and Black Illustrated A publication of Boilers, Inc. 2605 Yeager Road, West Lafayette, IN 47906 765-237-5002 or 1-800-876-GOPU (4678) Fax: 765-497-2110/Twitter.com/GoldandBlackcom President/Publisher Alan Karpick 765-237-5078 Editor Brian Neubert Publications Coordinator Kyle Charters Associate Editor/Football Stacy Clardie Photography/Cover Photo Tom Campbell Graphic Designer Gary A.

Photos by Tom Campbell (Bobinski, Swanigan); Purdue Athletics (Morrissette) Remember When … Jeff Brohm knows the Rose Bowl is the ultimate goal for his program, and the above cover shows it is possible at Purdue. It's been 16 years, but this was our cover as we showcased Purdue's Rose Bowl battle with Washington. We saw it as a battle between two quarterbacks, Drew Brees and Washington's Marques Tuiasosopo, and to some extent it was, as the Husky signal caller had a great performance to lead his team to a 34-24 victory.
