After their lapse last week, the Boilermakers need to bounce back against another team in search of victories. We'll get all set up for Purdue-Nebraska, another team in need of a win, on the Gold and Black Radio Pregame podcast.

David Nugent turns 44 today (Oct. 27, 2021) and we celebrate the big day with the Boilermaker defensive tackle who roamed the Purdue sidelines from 1996-99. Nugent was a somewhat unsung in the days of Rosevelt Colvin, Chike Okeafor and Matt Mitrione, but was an important part of the Boilermakers' dramatic turnaround. A converted tight end from the Memphis, Tennessee area, Nugent bulked up and became a mainstay of the Boilermaker front in the first three seasons under coach Joe Tiller that was made even more notable by two career "scoop and scores" in wins against top-five ranked teams: No. 4 Kansas State in 1998 and No. 5 Michigan State in 1999.

Nugent was a sixth round pick of the New England Patriots and he talks about his notable roomate, Tom Brady, and what paying on a Super Bowl Champion team meant.

Still living in the Memphis area, Nugent is in medical sales and lives with his wife and three children.

Expectation levels have probably never been higher for the Boilermakers, a No. 7 ranking in the preseason, a Big Ten favorite and among the most-likely for a Final Four run. Let’s preview all of it, with conversations with Matt Painter and Jaden Ivey, on Gold and Black Radio podcast.
