Do you go to school at Purdue University? Are you a fan of college football and college basketball? Do you cheer for the Boilermakers? Do you have someone playing for one of their great teams? If so, then an extremely simple and affordable way to show your team pride is by purchasing Purdue University personal bank checks.

Located in West Lafayette, Indiana Purdue was founded in 1869. While the first classes were held on September 16, 1874, today Purdue has Indiana's biggest student body. In addition, it also has the most international students enrolled than in any other public university in the 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.

Basketball is a very successful sport at Purdue. Their men's basketball team has an all-time winning record against all of the Big Ten schools. In addition, the men's and women's basketball teams have also won more Big Ten Championships than any other school in the entire 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.

The Boilermaker's home stadium is the Ross-Ade Stadium, named after benefactors David E. Ross and George Ade. It opened in 1924 and can hold about 62,000 people.

The Boilermaker Special, Purdue Pete, and Rowdy have been some of the school's mascots. The Boilermaker Special is meant to look like a train and symbolizes Purdue's engineering program. In 1887 Purdue's official colors of old gold and black were adopted.

If you are really a loyal fan then you might want to think about the Purdue University #1 Fan check series. These checks, which show a cartoon image of a devoted fan, are for the fans of the team that religiously watch every game, aren't afraid to speak their mind to the television crews, and wear their team's colors with pride.

In addition, you can guy Purdue University checks that have the official colors and the school's logo. Both of these series contain matching accessories like a matching leather checkbook cover, address labels, and contact cards.

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.
