Commentary: Joe Tiller Is Probably The Coach Most Likely To String Along A Hitchhiker

I don't know where you'd get a mountainside road in the plywood flats of Indiana, but if you can, just picture Purdue head coach Joe Tiller driving along a winding roadway in the rain listening to the music that only AM radio can play. And as he's bopping the steering wheel in tune with the Oak Ridge Boys, he comes upon a hitchhiker with a full backpack and week's worth of scruff. Naturally, the brake lights come to life. Tiller slows down, pulls over, and then stops the car about 500 feet from the hiker. The happy traveller begins running towards the parked Oldsmobile and when he's about 30 feet from the car, Tiller hammers the accelerator, slinging loose rock at the baffled wayfarer. Joe Tiller then speeds off, laughing over Richard Sterban's smooth bass vocals.

Have doosh, will travel imo.
