By Alan Plastin

Are you a fan of the Boilermakers? Are you a Purdue University alumni? Do you just love college ball and want to support your favorite team? If so, then you should really consider carrying around Purdue University personal bank checks. They are easy to find, look great, and do a terrific job of showing your team spirit at a reasonable cost.

Founded on May 6, 1869, Purdue University has the largest student body of any other university in the state and is situated in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue also contains the largest international student population of any public university in the entire country.

A founding member of the Big Ten Conference, Purdue is home to 18 Division I/I-A NCAA teams that include football, cross-country, wrestling, basketball, tennis, golf, volleyball, and other sports.

For the basketball teams, Purdue's men's team has an all-time winning record against all of the Big Ten schools. Both the men's and women's basketball teams have won more Big Ten Championships than any other school in the conference.

Joe Tiller became head coach of the football team in 1996 and since then the Boilermakers have made a bowl appearance every year except in 2005 and 2008. Both Kickoff and Football News named him National Coach of the Year. He was also named the GTE Region 3 Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association and the Big Ten Dave McClain Coach of the Year.

Ross-Ade Stadium is the stadium that the Boilermakers call home. It is named for David E. Ross and George Ade and can hold around 62,000 people. It opened in 1924.

Purdue has had several mascots over the years including: The Boilermaker Special, Purdue Pete, and Rowdy. The Boilermaker Special looks like a train and is meant to represent Purdue's engineering program. The official school colors, Old Gold and Black, were adopted in 1887.

If you are truly a devoted fan then you might want to consider the Purdue University #1 Fan check series. These checks, featuring a cartoon image of a fan, are for the devotees that know all of the players' stats, shout at the coaches, and buy tickets way in advance for any game.

You can also buy Purdue University checks that contain the official school colors and the Boilermakers' logo. Both of these series give you the option of buying coordinating accessories such as a matching leather checkbook cover, contact cards, and address labels.

Remember, too, that if you want to buy your checks you can do it over the Internet. Not only will you have more check images to pick from, but you can save as much as 50% off the price that your local bank might have charged you. There are really a lot of safe sites available that will not only save you a bit of money, but also get your checks to you in about 5 days. Not long ago, when you bought them at your bank, it frequently took up to 2 weeks to have them delivered. - 31493
