🏈🎂On December 7, 1942 Joe Tiller was born in Toledo, Ohio. Tiller attended Rogers High School. Upon his high school graduation, he attended Montana State University in Bozeman, where he played football for the Bobcats under head coaches Herb Agocs and Jim Sweeney. As a senior in 1963, Tiller was named an Honorable Mention All-American and was invited to the East-West Shrine Game. Tiller was selected in the 1964 AFL draft by the Boston Patriots; he was the 140th pick overall (18th round) but chose to sign with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League. After one season in the CFL, he returned to Montana State to begin his coaching career under Sweeney. Tiller's first coaching job came in 1964, when he was a student assistant for Montana State. The following year, he was promoted to full-time assistant coach, working with offensive and defensive lineman, as well as an instructor in physical education. Sweeney left after the 1967 season and Tiller was retained by new head coach Tom Parac. In 1971, Tiller rejoined Sweeney as the defensive line coach at Washington State in Pullman. In 1974, Tiller returned to the Calgary Stampeders as an assistant coach and spent the next 8 seasons in the Calgary organization. In 1983, Tiller became defensive coordinator at Purdue University under head coach Leon Burtnett. In 1987, he took over as the offensive coordinator at Wyoming. Tiller was then named the offensive coordinator at Washington State in 1989. Tiller began his head coaching career at Wyoming in 1991. During his time as head coach, Tiller lead the Cowboys to a 39–30–1 (.564) record and one bowl appearance in 6 years. On the strength of his final season at Wyoming, Tiller was hired by Purdue in 1997. Tiller inherited a Boilermakers program that had only had 5 winning seasons in the previous 18 years. However, the Boilermakers made an immediate splash in the second game of his rookie season with a nationally televised upset of Notre Dame. Tiller led the Boilermakers to 10 bowl berths in 12 years, most notably the 2001 Rose Bowl—their first major-bowl appearance since the Bob Griese-led Boilermakers went to the 1967 Rose Bowl, and only the second major-bowl appearance in school history. The 2000 season also saw the Boilermakers’ first Big Ten title in 33 years. His Purdue squads were shut out only once, by Penn State, in a 12–0 defeat at Ross-Ade Stadium on October 28, 2006. Tiller retired following the 2008 season. In his final game as a head coach, the Purdue Boilermakers beat their in-state rival Indiana Hoosiers in their traditional season-ending Old Oaken Bucket Game by a score of 62 to 10 at Ross-Ade. Tiller was the first coach to use the spread offense in the Big Ten Conference. He had a career record of 126–92–1 (.578). Tiller passed away at his home in Buffalo, Wyoming, on September 30, 2017, at the age of 74.🎂🏈 (Photo Credit: Boilers Blog)

📕On October 9, 1967 Purdue Boilermakers quarterback Mike Phipps was featured on the cover. Phipps was born in Shelbyville, Indiana. He attended Columbus North High School in Columbus, Indiana, and played for the Columbus Bulldogs high school football team. Phipps attended Purdue University, where he played for the Purdue Boilermakers football team. He began his college career when he replaced All-American Boilermakers quarterback Bob Griese. His first major victory at Purdue was a 28-21 upset of defending national champion Notre Dame Fighting Irish on September 30, 1967 (pictured below). Combining strong passing skills with excellent mobility helped Phipps establish a new Purdue single-season record for total offense and earn the Boilermakers a share of the Big Ten Conference title. The following year, Phipps suffered an ankle injury that kept him out of two games, and was overshadowed by teammate Leroy Keyes, a running back who spent all season in contention for the Heisman Trophy. The Boilermakers were the top-ranked team in the country until the Ohio State Buckeyes upset them 13-0 on October 12. In 1969, Phipps became the focal point of Purdue’s offense, throwing for 5 touchdowns in a 36-35 thriller over Stanford University on October 4, including throwing for a two-point conversion with 3 minutes left. He also defeated Notre Dame for the 3rd consecutive year. Phipps finished second in the voting for The Heisman Trophy to Oklahoma Sooners running back Steve Owens. Although he was awarded the 1969 Sammy Baugh Trophy, he declined a Rhodes Scholarship to concentrate on a professional football career.📕 (Photo Credit: SI Online)

Tough loss against TCU. Much of that is attributed to the youth & lack of experience of the majority of the starters as well as key personnel injuries. It may be a tough, long season but our guys are getting invaluable experience. A bowl game may not be a reality this season but I’m certain we will see 100% effort & many phenomenal offensive & defensive plays throughout the season. BOILER UP 🏈
