But the deal did occur under Biden's watch.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news and the truth, but Hamas only agreed to release 33-35 of the 100 hostages as part of this truce.


Trump will have his opportunity to show the world how powerful his words are when he works his magic to gain the release of the remaining 2/3rds of the hostages!


I love how you guys form opinions after only reading the headlines and Trump’s press releases!

and no, it wasn’t Biden who negotiated the cease fire. It was the representatives from the USstate department along with representatives from Egypt and Saudi and emerates. I believe you should credit where it is due. All Biden did was announce it. And all Trump did was claim it was himself that made everything happen! When the fires finally go out in California I’m quite sure Trump will take credit for that too. He’ll probably take credit for ND winning a championship and the Dodgers signing an imported pitcher!

If we want to make America great again, shouldn’t we be sending all those imported players back to their countries and only play Major League Baseball with American players wearing jerseys and shoes made in America! And playing with balls and bats made in America too! Send all the illegal balks back. And no more teams from Canada taking all of our trophies away from us! We must demand them back. And that goes for the Grammies and Oscar’s. Only Trump’s friends can win!

I’m waiting for Trump’s second day in office! How is he going to accomplish all those things on his first day if he has that rally the night before the inauguration and then have the greatest and longest ceremony in the history of ceremonies and then have his 2,000 inaugural balls all over the world?

Trump is the man for all seasons! He is so caring! How many of you got an invite?

It was a tough decision for me. Spending my money to attend the ball, giving to Purdue’s NIL or giving to st Jude’s. A tough call.

I heard Trump’s first law he’s going to break is to raise the flag for his inauguration! So what about laws and traditions! That’s what Trump wanted, so that’s what Johnson’s going to give him.

I also look forward to seeing what campaign promise Trump actually keeps.

Now Trump wants Ramaswamy to be Ohio’s senator to replace Vance and because it’s mid term, the Ohio voters don’t even get to vote or choose!

Whatever Trump wants……. Have a nice day.

I suppose if things fell just exactly 100% perfect on matchups....maybe NC?? Long odds on that though. But agree, more likely a shot at a B10 championship is still realistically in reach.

100% agree on coach. A master of his craft.

Looks more and more like a 4 year player. I am sure though with the right coaching, he can be very good..... eventually.

Wonder what happens if his BYU NIL $.......suddenly dries up??

Some of these posts by the same dopes get my blood pressing riding, at 54 with a 1 year old it’s probably high enough lol. Can you imagine if after half Painter benched TKR who finished with 19 and 6 the rest of the game? Or how about benching all the starters playing the reserves? Sure let’s play Burgess/Waddell/Berg, Harris, Heide, that would win them the game. There’s a few on here that have the takes of a spoiled 10 year old child expecting Purdue to just roll over teams every game.

The beauty of last night...whether jet lag or whatever was the scare of not playing well at the start. I doubt Purdue needs reminded against Oregon and expect them to be sharper out of the gate

I agree and Purdue will also have a roster to more than match it if everyone returns. My belief is that if Smith is not the top returning player in the country next season, he will certainly be in the conversation. He deserves top compensation.

I think that the field is leveling, but there will continue to be outside sources of money as well and there will be a group of schools that have a lot more to spend than the rest (with IU being one of them). There will also be a lot of teams with marginal returning talent who have a boatload of money to spend in the portal. Purdue will just need to do what Purdue has been doing well by rewarding the players who have produced for Purdue first.

I see 2 scenarios.
1. Painter sees a team weakness, such as rebounding, and he doesn't expect the current players and incoming recruits to provide enough improvement.
2. Key veterans graduate or enter the portal, leaving a gap in experience at one or more positions. This seems to be the main reason for Painter drawing from the portal/transfer market.

Catchings had 3 fouls in 7 minutes of action last night. I keep track of boxscores from BYU (Catchings), Colorado State (Morton) and Duke (Gillis). Gillis had his best game last night hitting 4 3's in about 15 minutes off the bench.

Purdue definitely dodged a bullet with Catchings...I was critical of Painter not guaranteeing minutes...but now see Catchings as a disruptive cancer on any team. Until he grows up...he will not play in the NBA.

Right, it's exactly like the release of Iran embassy hostages when Reagan became president. A pathetic wimp POTUS does nothing for over a year, then when a tough-talking new sheriff takes over - boom, hostages released. Israel may need to drop a couple dozen 2,000 lb smart bombs into Gaza to get Hamas thinkin' straight.

Tough to grow with inconsistent minutes like that.

Swanson has some turnover issues but that's about everyone else on the team. Her shot selection could be better, but she is just more dynamic offensively and defensively compared to Collier. She's still very young, considering she didn't even play that much last season(12.6 mins). Give her some leash and let her grow. Jones had a big leash yesterday and played better for it in the 2nd half.

CKG has been quick to bench alot of players for bad play. I get wanting to teach players lessons and especially in tight games, these turnovers could be killer, but we haven't been in tight games. Let these underclassmen work through their turnovers/mistakes.


The posts were alright yesterday but we double teamed Kyei alot. When she wasn't double teamed, she had her way. My biggest issue with the posts right now is the ball screen coverage. Our guards are left out to dry on screens, while our posts sit back protecting the drive. Oregon hit alot of mid range jumpers because of this.

Maybe, they’re not a great team, however, on the road Purdue has to play much better than last night to have a chance. A first half like yesterday and Purdue is likely down 15 at a minimum verse Oregon, that can’t happen.

Oregon -2.5 would be my guess. It’s possible we see a 3.5 I suppose. Anything over a 3.5 than I’m worried, Vegas is begging you to bet Purdue if that’s the case.
