As to Terry, I never said irreplaceable, but she will be very hard to replace. Purdue women historically are terrible at rebounding and Versyp/Gearlds never have seemed to prioritize that. Terry masked that deficiency immensely by leading the team in rebounding from the point. She is also top 3 in the Big Ten and top 25 nationally in assists and will set the record for Purdue for career assist to turnover ratio by a 25% increase over the current record holder. She is scoring challenged and I have conceded its less than optimal, but she is still far and away the best player on Purdue's team.
Second, NO I DON'T ROOT FOR THE MEN'S TEAM>>>>>> I DO NOT CARE FOR MEN'S basketball............... NOT ONE IOTA!!!!!!!!! Also when I offered to bet $2,500 against the men making the FF it was because I consider it more certain than the sun coming up tomorrow. They are a badly flawed team running an archaic system and have two substandard starters that will be easily exploited by a quicker team favoring a clear out and drive the ball philosophy.
Third, I would LOVE to not have to discuss the men's team ever again, ESPECIALLY on this forum. I hold no animus to you other than your insistence that a Purdue fan has to support all Purdue sports. Just for the record my thoughts on football is its a barbaric sport not dissimilar to gladiator games in ancient Rome/ except the deaths come 20-30 years later in the form of debilitating mental illness leading to murder suicide rages by former players with severe concussion syndrome. So, if we can stick to women's sports on the women's forum and you go pester people about the men's team on the men's forum, I don't think I would have any issues with you at all. You have a different perspective and I like hearing it, even if I don't agree with it.....
