[NU Sports] Back from the Cow Pasture

[Jonathan Michael Hawkins]

That is pretty odd, actually.  We liked the Purdue first down cheer so 
much on Saturday that we incorporated it into our own "from-the-stands" 
first-and-ten call.  They weren't counting 1-2-3-4, though, except when 
they converted 4th down.  They counted the downs it took, which I thought 
was pretty cool.

Who knows, we might keep it.
