No Just DONE with him after his derogatory comments about Purdue fans on his twitter handle....go check it out. All Purdue fans should be DONE with him.
Was it Purdue fans or Travis miller he went after?
He obviously didn't reply to everyone, but if you questioned him and he replied...............let's just say he wasn't Mr. Rogers.Was it Purdue fans or Travis miller he went after?
I think he's enjoying his life out of coaching. He makes good money and he's home a lot with his kids. If he wanted a job he could get one in coaching.Jockitch says just enough complimentary things about Purdue to keep Purdue guys listening to him. However his homer side comes out and you can feel the arrogance. He wants Clappy's job. But like I've said before if he's so damn smart why isn't he coaching now? If we get CS I'm still not convinced.
Lol... His son is in college and his daughter lives with her mom. He would jump so fast at the opportunity to coach again, especially at IU.I think he's enjoying his life out of coaching. He makes good money and he's home a lot with his kids. If he wanted a job he could get one in coaching.
So you are assuming he doesn't see his daughter. And yes, his son is in college but I seem to,remember spending time with my kids when they were in college. Particularly tough to do,when you spend all your free time recruiting.Lol... His son is in college and his daughter lives with her mom. He would jump so fast at the opportunity to coach again, especially at IU.
Ya, but you're on here talking about him, so I'd say he's pretty successful at his job. Dakich, like most ex-coaches, make much better commentators than the East-Coast pundits that make a living with a handful of pre-planned talking points.Just wanted to see how many LIKES this post gets.
I think the sour grapes are that Dakich cleaned up the IU program, Crean came in and reinstated the players, then ended up having to kick them off anyway. The bad blood as I see it is Crean, not IU.I'm sure he sees his daughter, but he also spends a lot of time away with his job. Maybe your right, but I always had the impression with him that it's sour grapes that he didn't get the IU job. Like I said, I think he's an idiot that treats people bad and thinks most people are below him. But that's just my impressions of him from when I use to listen to him. I haven't paid much attention to him the last few years, other than the games he does, so maybe he's changed. I don't follow him on Twitter, but his quote the other night was retweeted and I picked up on it, and felt it was probably accurate, since he has connections to the game. I guess we will find out in a few days whether or not he was just spouting off or not.

Dakich is an idiot for saying Swanigan is coming to Purdue? He has always been reasonably fair in his coverage of Purdue.
How can you say he cleaned up the program? Wasn't he only there for like a month? I think Crean cleaned up the program. He can't coach, but he did get rid of all the bad apples they had from Sampson.I think the sour grapes are that Dakich cleaned up the IU program, Crean came in and reinstated the players, then ended up having to kick them off anyway.

Dackich had no choice buy to kick the guys off. Failed drug tests and failed classes is what got the guys kicked off. The NCAA was snooping around because of the Sampson violations and would have declared the guys ineligible regardless of what Dackich did. Save some face for IU is all Dan did. IU made it look like they voluntarily cleaned house. Not so.How can you say he cleaned up the program? Wasn't he only there for like a month? I think Crean cleaned up the program. He can't coach, but he did get rid of all the bad apples they had from Sampson.
Btw.. My daughter lives with me and the one guy is right my ex wife moved away...u guys kill me..acting like you know something..funny stuff..thanks for the entertainment..also this 4purdue guy or girl is a complete idiot..makes the rest look bad

Completely agree. While I still think jockitch is a douche, Travis Miller and H&R is an embarrassment to the Boiler nation.Travis Miller is an embarrassment to Purdue. I wish to shout Hammer and Rails would just die. Its a complete joke.

I have read his stuff a few times. He didn't seem too well informed. He also used to post here quite a bit and didn't care much for him. After his whole videoing himself crying bit, I lost all respect for the guy. I haven't looked at his site since then. He might be better now, but I could never take him serious. I don't hate him or think he's an embarrassment to Purdue, but I don't trust anything he says. I'd take him over Dakich any day of the week, though.Miller and his crew chronically under-research their stories. Also, the whole crying bit that he posted on youtube was a bit much.
Also, he is credentialed and a part of SB nation. It should be more than a fanboy blog.
Read the 3 posts just above this. They nail it. Everything he does is poorly researched and basically a rip from info that you can get for free here or for $99 a year on the paid site. What's so journalistic in that? He writes super emotionally....so much so that his point is often lost...along with the integrity of the article. I feel that he is overly critical and negative towards facets of the program/specific sports when he doesn't understand how the operate and what they are trying to achieve (I think that can be said for a lot of folks on here though). That said, those folks aren't trying to run a weblog trying to be informative on Purdue sports.Somebody care to explain to me why the hatred toward the guy running the Purdue blog? I have often read it to get information. Sure, it is one guy's opinion, so what? He seems a pretty strong supporter of the programs and he is welcome to his opinions. Why are folks calling him names? "Embarrasment to the Boiler Nation", WTF?
Jason Whitlock who graduated from Ball State and whom I have met is a very intelligent, well spoken man who has won I believe several awards for his writing.It's fine by me you can follow that lug head over at H&R. Thankfully we have Brian here and don't have to waste a second from a second rate hack. One guy gets meetings with Matt and it isn't Travis. There isn't an ounce of useful info from that terrible site. This guy makes Jason Whitlock seem like a Pulitzer candidate.
Again many if not all of you are missing the point of this....this is NOT about some Travis miller guy?- and his blog site.
What it is about is that Dakich has on his twitter feed some anti Purdue stuff. That is anti BOILER. THAT is anti US! When he says the following it refers to BOILERS AS IDIOTS - it is plural. IT means that he is calling all or at least a lot of BOILERS idiots - not one guy, but BOILERS plural. Now if you want to tolerate Dakich calling you & your fellow Boilers idiots, fine. I do not tolerate it & will not tolerate it, and am done with him.
Dan Dakich Quotes @DanDakichSays · May 8
"I may fund a Purdue blog site that doesn't have complete idiots on it
"Purdue fans never disappoint ..Give them GREAT NEWS and they twist it..amazing but not surprising"
These are just two examples of the negativism about Boilers fans on his twitter feed. He clearly is talking about more than one guy. I do not understand why this needed such explaining. It is not only some Miler guy Dakich is slapping in the face here, it is a lot of BOILERS plural.
Thus, I will no longer listen to or follow him...I am done with him. If you wish to tolerate statements that are clearly anti Purdue, then fine do so. I will stick up for everything Purdue and BOILER land everywhere, and boycott him. Not going to explain away bad behavior - like many of you want to do....just done with this iu guy.
Btw.. My daughter lives with me and the one guy is right my ex wife moved away...u guys kill me..acting like you know something..funny stuff..thanks for the entertainment..also
