Purdue head coach Hazell mistaken for President Obama by Indiana 1st graders

There was nothing presidential about Purdue's 1-11 record last season, but that didn't stop a group of local youngsters from thinking head coach Darell Hazell was the commander-in-chief.
Purdue coach Darrell Hazell says a 1st-grade class near W. Lafayette believed he was Obama when he spoke to them.

Darrell Hazell spoke at elementary school last year. “They’re giving me hugs, crazy applause.” Kids thought Hazell was Obama

Maybe it was Hazell's ability as an orator. Maybe he was talking to the kids about Benghazi.
Either way, file this one under "kids say the darnedest things". Now we just need the Boilermakers to adopt this as their new fight song.
