Happy Birthday, Coach Gene Keady! You're the only guy who could make a scowl legendary and turn sideline pacing into an Olympic sport. With multiple Big Ten championships under your belt, you've proven that winning never goes out of style—just like your iconic comb-over hairstyle!Your legacy at Purdue is timeless; you coached teams tougher than nails and fiercer than Boilermaker steam engines. Even today, opponents still have nightmares about facing your relentless defense. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as all those unforgettable victories—and fewer technical fouls from referees intimidated by "the stare." Cheers to another year of greatness!
