"It's the most powerful, favorite game ever to call because it just went way beyond sports."
Chris Fowler explains why #Purdue's 2018 upset of Ohio State โ the Tyler Trent Game โ is the favorite broadcast of his career:

Chris Fowler reflects on the most powerful and emotional game he's ever called:
"It was a game between Purdue and Ohio State. There was a young cancer patient named Tyler Trent, a superfan who had essentially been adopted by the team.
He battled cancer courageously and was in very bad shape. His dying wish was to see them win that game. They were massive underdogs.
Somehow, they got him out of bed and into the car to make it to the game. He was just hanging on, man. It was one of those magical nights.
It would have been a corny movie if it had been on film. They blast Ohio State, and it's a party. They wheel Tyler through the end zone to the locker room to wait for the team after the victory.
It was just an incredibly powerful emotion, and I was barely keeping it together. I said, 'Every Boilermaker would say, "Tyler, this one's for you."'
It's my favorite game I've ever called because it went way beyond sports."
Every #Boilermaker knows this game, of course. But who knew that @cbfowler not only remembered it but it still impacts him today. The legacy of @theTylerTrent lives on. He continues to shape pediatric cancer research today. #morethanagame ๐
I will NEVER forget seeing Ethan @EthanTrent05 pushing Tyler in his wheelchair towards the locker room right before chaos erupted in Ross-Ade. I have never let out a yell like I did in that moment. โLETโS GO TYLER!โ.
