The Time Has Come For Jeff Brohm to Grow a Mustache
Look, I am not in the business of telling people what to do (especially people I have never met that physically intimidate me); as long as you are not being a jerk and respecting the troops, go crazy. But the time has come for Jeff Brohm to grow a mustache.
Anybody who has ever met me knows I have an affinity for flavor savers. All of my heroes have donned mustaches at some point, like such as: Michael Jordan (won like 10 NBA championships? was on the ‘92 Dream Team), Larry Bird (legendary Pacers coach) and Dick Butkus (hilarious name).
So why now? Why is the time right for Brohm to spread his mouth mane wings and fly? Because this weekend is homecoming for the Boilermakers and the Boilers need to go back to their home, back to hanging bowl banners in Mollenkopf. According to HammerandRails.com, Purdue has not started 0-4 since 1982 and as a fan, I’d like to keep that streak alive.
Since that 1982 season (excluding Brohm era), Purdue Football head coaches Leon Burtnett, Fred Akers, Jim Colletto, Patrick Higgins (interim), Darrell Hazell and Gerad Parker (interim) have a combined total of 63 wins and 147 loses and 0 combined mustaches.
Also since 1982, Joe Tiller and Danny Hope lead the Boilermakers to a record of 109-89 with 2 mustaches.
Need more unchecked Wikipedia facts? Ok. From 1984-2017 Purdue went to 14 bowl games and 12 of those teams were lead by a mustachioed man.
Brohm said this team could beat any team or lose to any team they face, and I for one believe him. As a guy who knows little to nothing about football, I know there is only one way to win out the rest of the year - let that lip cabbage go.
It is time we get our swagger back. IU has their tailgates, Ohio State has a suspended head coach and Purdue has a HC with a mustache. It is who we are, it is what we do.
