Book Description
Here's the book die hard IU fans have been waiting for, the book that will at the same time make Purdue fans want to slink away and go sit in the corner. The Indiana-Purdue sports rivalry began in 1891 when the two schools first met on the gridiron, and is regarded as one of the most intense collegiate rivalries in the country. Newsweek ranked it among the top 12 and the Huffington Post named it as the fifth best overall. In 1925 the football teams played for the Old Oaken Bucket for the first time, and when the Big Ten expanded to 14 teams in 2014 and realigned into geographically based divisions, Indiana and Purdue were placed in opposite divisions (the only protected cross-division rivalry) to insure that the Old Oaken Bucket would be contested every year. Students, Alumni and fans of IU generally root for the Hoosiers and whoever is playing against Purdue. On the book's I Love IU side chapters include the great victories over Purdue, and another on the outstanding players, many All-Americans, that have figured prominently in these victories. There is a chapter on the great coaches featuring the likes of Bob Knight, Bill Mallory, Doc Councilman, Jerry Yeagley and others. There are also chapters about the many wonderful traditions associated with the sports culture at IU, and one on the beauty of the campus. In the I Hate Purdue side you'll find the heartbreaking losses to Purdue in football and basketball, painful reminders that the great victories have their counterparts. There are also chapters giving the Boilermakers their due in the number of great coaches and athletes the school has produced. There are also chapters about Purdue traditions that grate on IU fans like the chant "IU Sucks" by the students before every game against all opponents. There is also a chapter about things not to love about the unimaginative Purdue campus. This book is a must have for members of the Hoosier Nation.

Book Description
This book is a joke. Literally. It is over 130 "blank" pages because there are NO reasons that Purdue is better than the Indiana Hoosiers. If you feel the same way, you must buy this book. Proudly display it on your coffee table or on your bookshelf. It makes the perfect gift for your friends who feel that same way you do. It is a very quick read. Recommend it to everyone you know. PS: Purdue sucks. 25% of all the proceeds of this book will go to paying off my student loans. (More Books By Jeff: http://www.allthereasons.net)

Book Description
Dave Ross (1871-1943) and George Ade (1866-1944) were trustees, distinguished alumni and benefactors of Purdue University. Their friendship began in 1922 and led to their giving land and money for the 1924 construction of Ross-Ade Stadium, now a 70,000 seat athletic landmark on the West Lafayette campus. Their life stories date to 1883 Purdue and involve their separate student experiences and eventual fame. Their lives crossed paths with U.S. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Ford, Amelia Earhart, and Will Rogers among others. Gifts or ideas from Ross or Ade led to creation of the Purdue Research Foundation, Purdue Airport, Ross Hills Park, and Ross Engineering Camp. They helped Purdue Theater, the Harlequin Club and more. Ade, renowned author and playwright, did butt heads with Purdue administrators at times long ago, but remains a revered figure. Ross's ingenious mechanical inventions of gears still steer millions of motorized vehicles, boats, tractors, even golf carts the world over.
