Speculation from Spartanwire.

Some of you are delusional. And all you care about is Purdue winning football games! And if they don’t, you want everyone and everything fired! You’re all upset that IU is having an awesome year. So instead of being a good sport, And giving them props for their accomplishments, you still hate them. And want the Purdue coach fired because he’s not as successful.

Let’s look at this logically. Walters is going to coach the MSU game. If he loses, the quickest he would be fired would be Saturday night or Sunday. And who is going to be given the job of coaching Purdue against IU? Someone outside the school? That’s not going to happen within one week. Purdue doesn’t have an offensive Coordinator to step in. Looking at our scores, would you really want Purdue’s defense coordinator to be in charge against a high powered Indiana offense!

So, if Walters is not going to be fired until after the MSU game, who in your mind is going to come in and coach Purdue? And please don’t say Dree Breese is going to mysteriously show up and lead us to victory!

It’s time to go back into the real world and accept the facts. Purdue suks this year! And Walters isn’t going anywhere until the season is over!

We didn’t have anyone that could call offensive plays besides Harrell and it didn’t stop us from firing him.

Patrick Higgins coached the indiana game when hope was fired before it. Gerad Parker after hazell. Both were position coaches before then.

I would expect jason Simmons would call offensive plays and maybe even coach. Cory Patterson could be another option but his past with Walters may make that awkward (but not as much as brohms brother coaching in a bowl game).

And yes we care about Purdue winning and yes IU sucks.

If Indiana gets in while losing to Ohio State, I think the blueprint is there.

1. Have a decent team.
2. Schedule nobody in the non-conference. Remember they bought out the Louisville game they had scheduled.
3. Have a conference schedule in one of these new mega conferences where you miss most or all of the best teams and beat the lower level teams.

Personally, I would not reward a team sitting on the fence that schedules so poorly out of conference. You can't control the conference schedule but if you happen to have a really bad one and don't beat any quality teams, and didn't play any out of conference, I don't think that should be rewarded. If it is, we're going to see some really boring Septembers in college football in the near future because if all that matters is wins then there is no incentive to play decent competition.

Reminds me of qualifying for the NCAA tournament and the Quad wins. The value of your opponents and wins matter. They should in football as well. When a team is on the bubble in February and March, beating the last place team on your homecourt doesn't move you. It shouldn't in football either.

That said, I think it's absurd that any conference should get more than 2 teams in the playoffs. Certainly not 4. The conference season should determine who the best teams are in each conference. If that's impossible because we now barely play half the other teams in the Big Ten and SEC each year, that's too bad for those conferences. Find a better format or way to determine your champion.

Of course that's exactly why the new playoff format skipped right from 4 teams, over the logical number of 8, and directly to 12. The Big Ten and SEC run the show now and want to flood the field with 3/4 teams each for money. Just a terrible setup from the start. I don't care to watch SEC football in the regular season and I certainly don't care to watch them rematch in the playoffs. And you know when Indiana and Penn State should play? During the conference season. Then one of them would have a quality win and we would know who belongs in the playoffs.

Agree. There are seven at large teams and Notre dame will get one. sec probably deserves at least 3 of them, if we created quad 1 wins it would be obvious. I think you may see an at large vultured by the ACC (Miami, SMU, Clemson) or B12 (BYU, Colorado). Likely though sec will do well as there are 5 sec teams in the top 11 and none of them play each other. If indiana loses and it’s not close Saturday I don’t see how they can stay ahead of those 5 especially if Texas goes and beats A&M.

Let’s just say for the sake of argument quad 1 win is top 15 at home, top 30 neutral, top 45 road, IU would have no quad 1 wins per Sagarin. I know I will be accused of cherry picking but the numbers are lower since there are fewer D1 football teams. It’s hard to be much lower than 100 in Sagarin (Purdue and Stanford are only p4 teams that are). Tennessee is 2-1 with wins vs Oklahoma and Alabama and a road loss to Arkansas who is better than anyone indiana has beat on the road.

Injured women’s players

J
Couldn’t find a “link”button so I just copied/pasted the paragraph —

“ Of the five players who have missed the last two games, which one will be ready first? Mila Reynolds (wrist) is likely out for months, and the timetables for Alaina Harper (personal reasons) and Jayla Smith (personal reasons) are uncertain. McKenna Layden (foot) could make an appearance by the end of the month. Freshman Jordyn Poole (stress fracture) is probably looking at December before being ready to play. “

I haven’t followed that much yet, anyway I noticed 5 are out, are these season Enders or will some return soon? Poole would be nice to see return along with at least 1 other big.

Mike Carmin had some info (minimal) on these players in his most recent Lafayette Sports report article. I’ll see if I can find a way to link it here. Not much detail but lists the reasons for each.

Purdue at Marquette: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

I still maintain our best shot is TKR in the middle and four wings. Even with all the turnovers and whatnot we still didn't give up a ton of points, and it's not like Berg or Furst are really any better at rim protection than TKR right now. Whatever they are giving us isn't worth what we lose. Obviously they need to play some minutes since TKR can't play 40 a night, but I think starting Berg doesn't make much sense anymore.

This is the way. TKR looks like a vintage forward from the 90s, and that's a compliment. We are best when he is the 5.

TT sends message to Senate Colleagues

Boiler Buck
AL's Tommy Tuberville lays down the gauntlet for his Senate Colleagues....... basically telling them if they stick together, these Dem voices are irrelevant.

R's smart enough to get the message. Sure.

But don't underestimate R's potential to be corrupted by big $ lobbyist .... That is extremely high & even probable. It's the lobbyist voice TT should worry about....with the corrupt money grubbing Rs.

Watch big military $ coming after Hegseth, and big sugar, big food and big pharma $$$ coming after RK. And Dem dark $ coming after Gaetz.

So TT reminds them NO Dems voted against ANY of Biden's Dem Cabinet picks according to TT. None.

I love smith and am his biggest fan and have been on here saying he’s the best PG in our programs history.

HOWEVER. While he has been good, I have noticed that his body language (yeah yeah I know Colvin blah blah blah 😂) isn’t great when it comes to his teammates not being in the right spot or missing one of his passes, or even when a call doesn’t go Purdues way. I feel, at times, he acts a bit entitled, like he has earned the right to a call or he can kind of half ass it on a play. He got up for the bama game, but it seems for some of these other games he’s lost that “chip on his shoulder” mentality.

He needs to understand real quick that this is HIS team and we go as far as he takes us. It may not be pretty and all great stats this year for him, but just win in any way possible. He had lazy passes last night and that set the tone for others on the team too. Sure Marquette was physical, but so what? So is northwestern and every other big ten team. Players take notice who is called better than them—individually and team wise. We are the hunted and will be all year, as other teams can smell blood/will try to take advantage of no NPOTYx2 in the middle anymore.

100% agree, great post

Braden could improve quickly with three minor steps. He's done at least one of these before in a single season, so he can do it again:

1) No more jump passes (I have been harping on this since his frosh year - Paint broke him of this habit last year, but it's back. Brought me flash backs of his Northwestern game.
2) No more one-handed or lazy passes - commentators pointed this out multiple times, and they were 100% correct.
3) No more chirping at the refs - it sets a bad tone and is a bad look. Fletch needs to stop as well, they both need to set an example for the underclassmen. This one really grates on me.

Wisky's OC Phil Longo got fired

Too many teams trying to run the wrong type of offense for the type of players they recruit, the climate And their field conditions. UW recruits big slow guys that run over people. Green Bay gets very cold in January and has a grass field. Yet their GM keeps drafting speedsters from Florida . And then wonders why Green Bay always loses at home in the playoffs. Cold icy conditions negates speed. Too many coaches and GM forget to use their field conditions to their advantage. Don’t build a team meant to play in a dome if you don’t play in a dome. Look at the success of the Dodgers and Yankees . They built their teams to take advantage of their stadiums. Look at Nebraska. They thought that Florida speed offense would win games in Nebraska. They were wrong.

Michael Vick, Randy Moss, Devin Hester, and Desean Jackson say hi. Plenty of speedsters in cold snowy conditions. Many players on the patriots like Wes Welker. Kansas City plays fast and has wintry conditions often. It probably has more to do with field surface but I also know some football speedsters prefer grass.

Gravy.

Looking at team needs his rebounding is his most important role.

Sure he needs to hit the open 3 like Greg Effert did, but rebounding hustle and D central to his role. He can do that well at a 40+% clip last year. But team needs Rs & D out of the 4, that's crucial above all to team success. We have multiple people that can hit an open 3 though, so it's the other things we need from the 4, that he can & needs to provide.

Why Trump Needs to Drain the Swamp

mediaexpert said:
"I've had enough of this so-called "House ethics report" on Matt Gaetz. The underlying allegations are so laughable and flimsy that the only purpose of it is to smear Gaetz.
Here are the facts:
The "report" comes YEARS after the DOJ dropped its investigation into the same claims. Why did the DOJ drop the investigation? The claims hinge on the testimony of two witnesses who have such gaping credibility issues that even the DOJ, which hates Gaetz, knew no jury would ever convict him.
Who are these witnesses?
1) Joel Greenberg, who has been described as "one of the most corrupt Florida politicians of all time" and has literally made false underage sex allegations against another politician before! He accused an innocent school teacher who was running against him for tax-collector of having sex with an underage student. Sound familiar? A judge called the lies "downright evil."
2) Greenberg became embroiled in a series of crimes and faced a possible 27 years in federal prison. One of these crimes was having sex with an underage minor, the same 17-year-old who is the central character in the claims against Gaetz. BUT, even Greenberg claims he didn't know she was underage because she LIED about her age! She is now active on OnlyFans, selling sexual access for money, and has appeared in porn videos. Go figure.
According to a 2023 lawsuit, Greenberg repeatedly begged Gaetz to secure a pardon for him, and when Gaetz refused, Greenberg vowed vengeance.
An inmate who shared a cell with Greenberg told two federal agents that Greenberg told him that the woman “would be willing to adopt Greenberg’s lie in hopes of a future financial benefit." Greenberg admitted to paying the woman's legal bills in a text to a friend!
Yes, this is all ridiculous. Yes, it is all clearly contrived lies. Will the media still use it to tar and feather Gaetz? Absolutely. Gaetz has made a career of picking fights no one else in Washington had the stomach to pick. They fear him at the DOJ more than anyone.
And that's exactly why we need him running the Department of Justice—he's the only one with the guts to fight the most important fights at the DOJ and root out the corruption we've seen on full display these last 8 years.
CONFIRM MATT GAETZ.
H/T to the great Mollie Hemingway, who goes into even more detail here: https://thefederalist.com/.../house-probe-into-matt.../" - Charlie Kirk

Gaetz isn't qualified for the job of AG. As I stated he's never prosecuted anyone. My belief and hope are that he is rejected largely by members of his own party and Trump has to pick someone else. And even if she were only 17, that's still jailbait and if he did have sex with her, he's as guilty as if she were 12.
