Citing Severe Boredom with Purdue Football, Students Turn to…

The Biscuit

Manure?

Yep, Manure.

 

Purdue University students are making some extra cash through a project that might turn some of their classmates’ stomachs — by sniffing livestock excrement. [T]hey take whiffs of a variety of smells collected from barns filled with hogs, cows and chickens for odor research being conducted by Albert Heber, a Purdue professor of agricultural and biological engineering.

“Typically they’re farm smells — manure, farm waste, hay. The only thing that is good is that we are not smelling it for a long time. It’s just a sniff,” said civil engineering graduate student Anuj Sharma.

One student said that the Big Drum just wasn’t enough to keep him interested in the Purdue football program anymore, especially after the decision to keep Tiller around was announced, so he just gave up: 

“It was just so damn boring, I figured $&#^-smelling was a better alternative.”

We’re with ya kid, we’re with ya.

Ted, new meaning?

I thought “boilermakers” always referred to fecal matter.

I hope we can stick their heads in it on September 27 at Notre Dame Stadium.

GO IRISH!

By the way, what a great day this has been for the Irish picking up another great recruit, and it looks like more are on the way.
