WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — It's time for the second episode of ''Boilers Live!'' a live podcast from Mad Mushroom Pizza and broadcast live around the country. The show starts at a special time on Wednesday night, starting at 8 p.m. ET at 320 State Street in West Lafayette.

Our guest on Boilers Live! will be King Doerue, the Purdue running back who scored two touchdowns in the Penn State game that opened the season last Thursday. 

King is a senior Kinesiology major from Amarillo, Texas who in January was honored by the City Council there for all he does for young people. Much of his drive comes from losing his brother Chris, who was murdered by a shooting on Mother's Day in their yard. Chris had an Associates Degree in Criminology, having played college basketball at Wayland Baptist.

King was born at Peacetown, Ivory Coast to Augustine and Annie Doerue and came to America at six. Among his siblings are Alpha, Prince, Stone, Blessing and Beauty. It will be so interesting to talk to him about his family and his future plans.
