That's a powerful incentive for all high-major programs to schedule 10 or more non-conference wins.

I mean I'm not sure there's much point in trying to shoehorn him in at the end of the season. The value added doesn't equal the lost season IMO.

It probably takes substantial energy to pick up the ball full court like he does. Also he's probably at a higher risk of accumulating fouls than most with his on ball pressure. I know he picked up his second foul in the first half against Michigan and probably didn't play the rest of the half.

Some of us will still beg to differ on calling Edey Purdue’s “all-time scorer.” While that’s true for total points, Mount’s 32.3-point career scoring average beats Edey’s 18.2 by 14.1 points per game. That difference alone tops Robbie Hummel’s career scoring average (14.0)

Dreaming is free, so is believing in the tooth fairy, but no one does once they are a rational person.

This is CKGs first year with a team of her construction. This is who she is a a coach. She has not shown any hints that she and her staff can develop talent that they get. Recruiting is in fact her only strength as a coach I can see. Roster construction is an F, player development is an F, game day coaching is a D at best, offensive and defensive schemes are an F. She is unlikely to develop those skills while trying to coach up a terrible team of her own construction.

Thanks for the article. Could have been far more informative. Like how much does he actually weigh NOW? Is there really zero chance for him to play this season or is that Brantley's gut at this point? Good news is that this is exactly what we wanted as the silver lining to his injury. Bulk up....

We currently have ten (10!) aircraft carriers on order (link 1). At the same time we know full well that China, Russia and Iran all have hypersonic missiles that can take them out (link 2). And today's hypersonics are Mach 5 (a bullet from a rifle flies at Mach 3). This will soon increase to Mach 10 and some of the development is being done at a Purdue/ND joint lab facility (link 3).

Can Iran's Missiles Send U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers Underwater?

Here’s What You Need to Remember: The Khalij Fars has one-quarter the DF-21’s range at 190 to 220 miles, and relatedly doesn’t fly as high or fast, with a lower maximum speed of Mach 3 as it plunges towards its target. Thus the Khalij Fars would likely prove easier to intercept with defensive...

Then you should know that new weapon systems; including the ones you speak of, are developed everyday. Why do you think Lockheed is doing, making paper airplanes? Then take years to implement, pay for and deliver. By that time Hegseth will be long gone from the Pentagon.

I fully agree that one of us is wacked out. I was an active duty US Army officer for 28 years and retired at the rank of Colonel (O-6). The only uniform you ever wore was Cub Scouts or maybe high school band while the studs were playing football. I said nothing whatever about "getting rid" of fighter jets or anything else. We need to stop procuring aircraft carriers, tanks and fighter jets because drone/missile technology has made all of them obsolete. We don't get rid of them, we just don't buy any more. We should focus DOD on the drone and missile development that will win the next war. Ditto the much ridiculed "Star Wars."

For FUKKS SAKE! The reason why we say DEI this and DEI that about Biden's hires are because:

1. Biden himself stated the number one qualification was skin color, THEREFORE it's more than likely the best person for the job was overlooked. IF the best person was a black lesbian woman then that's who it was, but that's not how that brain dead imbecile hired and it showed!
2. These people he hired were SHIIT at their job!
3. MANY of them should have been fired because they were so shiit at their job, but Biden refused to fire anyone

You have no F'ing clue what Hegseth's qualifications are so you're here bitching. Perhaps his best qualification for what we need is the fact that he isn't tied to the military industrial complex, but has enough military knowledge to know how to move our military forward.

If it was a black man, you wouldn't say shiit. Even if it was Hank "Guam is going to capsize and tip over" Johnson. That guy is another example of DEI and a testament to how stupid Democrat voters can be.

When “better than Archie Miller” is the brag it’s not going well.

As the OP said, there are so many reasons he won’t be Indiana’s coach as soon as this season is over. He’s lousy and he’s a dead man-coach walking. Kind of like football for both IU and Purdue; try and try again until hopefully they finally make a wise decision and get it right. Like Painter (or likely Cignetti), a good decision when finally made can have lasting excellent impact.

Not that I'm planning to go, but I'm sure a lot of you got the email this week regarding BTT tickets. It came with the following note/warning:

Important Updates for 2025

With the expansion of the Big Ten to 18 schools, ticket allotments for each institution have been significantly reduced to accommodate all programs. This means fewer seats than ever are available in the official Purdue block. To manage this transition, ticket requests will be capped at two (2) tickets per account.


Ok, fine, makes sense. But there are only 15 teams that make it. Debate if you want about that whole idea, but my next question is, do the 3 teams that don't make it get an allotment? They shouldn't, other than maybe a box for VIPs. So really, there should only be 1 additional block of seats for the schools. Right?

The other thing about it, there's going to be more empty seats for the early rounds than we've even seen before.
