My man Jake probably said it best with this tweet:

Excited to drive my hover car to Purdue for the 2026/2027 series just announced.

I could go into some detail about how Purdue was 81st in F/+ ratings this past season, but many of the players who will be playing in this series are currently in 1st or 2nd grade. Drew Brees' son may be their starting quarterback at that point, so if he is we could be in trouble.

What are your thoughts on this series? What will technology look like in 2026? What will football look like in 2026? Which teleportation service will Wake take to get to West Lafayette?
