Purdue Basketball Fans Facebook site -- what is this?

There are a lot of false stories on Facebook lately! There are many more than what you listed above. Many more! Did I say many? One of the ones today has tkr transferring to IU.

However, the false stories about Purdue and Purdue players pales in comparison to the many. Other false stories that now exist on Facebook The Facebook CEO bowed down to the political pressure and basically allows anyone and anybody to post their lies without retraction, moderation or consequences. Unless you say something against a certain someone and that person gets upset.

If you have intelligence you can see through the lies and the click bait. Unfortunately the majority of of people who read the click bait believe the lies they are fed. And unfortunately those who are doing the lying. Know how stupid and gullible the Facebook readers are. They have been lying for the past 10 years. And they have told the lies so often and loud, they now believe their own lies.

Eventually some of the Facebook readers may realize they’ve been lied to. My hope is that it will not be too late. Too much damage has already been done and too much credibility has been lost.

There are still a few intelligent posters on Facebook. Look for the ones who don’t reply to the click bait. Look for the ones who have their own opinions rather than the bandwagon fans. Look for the ones who dare to disagree. You may be surprised and shocked to find who the respected posters are. You might find a familiar name or two!

I think people should be able to post what they like, true or false. It is up to me to decide to listen/read them.

I just think it's odd to put out sports stories that are just false. I realize it's for clicks so the more outrageous the better. But, that is a short-term view as now that we know it's all crap, it gets ignored. Just an odd approach.

As someone that holds some Libertarian views...particularly financial areas inside the government, I generally want the government out of my and other's lives. However, this is quite different that just interfering with another's shopping...since it is taxpayer's money that is being circumvented by those not contributing financially.

Here we have people taking money from taxpayers intended for nutritional foods for their daily substance. Instead they take the money from others and circumvent why the money was allocated by the taxpayer. Then, they not only lose some nutrient substances that the money was intended, but increase the likely hood of health issues where the taxpayer again will pay for their poor choices. That is the issue.

The Trump administration approved a first of its kind waiver for Nebraska, allowing a ban on soda purchases through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, starting next year.

ot - How bout them Pacers?

They just keep surprising me. I thought they were too thin up front (literally and figuratively) to compete with the real horses. But turns out there's just not many of those anymore so they keep overcoming physical whippings with lots and lots of points. And it keeps working. Not just against an injury depleted superteam like the Cavs.
Way to go Pacers!!!

Congress Betrays Seniors Promise of No Tax on Social Security in BBB passed

Worthless Repubs in Congress screwed Seniors. No tax on SS not in "Big Beautiful Bill". At best they get a new $4000 deduction amounting to maybe $480 off taxes.....and even that runs out in 2029 where that is no longer available. Just another example why I say BOTH parties are worthless and are not to be trusted.

Totally agree as they do absolutely nothing promised to benefit seniors.

This is funny and reminds me of a Purdue Comic I wanted to make. It shows beds beside each other with the specific player's names on each headboard. Kind of like Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs. When it got to Edey's bed, the bed was like 2 foot longer than the others. But now, Edey was crossed out and Jacobsen was listed underneath it instead. Maybe some day it could have like 5 names crossed out with the newest 7+footer entered. Like the changing of the guard.

I am horrible at drawing so I may have to A.I. it. And I won't change my day job. Is it Friday yet?

How to fill out the 2026 class

That's a pretty short wing....

Taller than Lance Jones, CJ Cox, Carsen Edwards and more. What he was saying is he is a better scorer off the ball which he is. He can play the point if needed. Kid just put up 21 points per game against some of the top HS players while playing the 2. IMO proves Painter's point he is a combo at best think Carsen Edwards kid is a scorer. The scouting services list him as a PG which he doesn't play in HS or AAU he did last year for Indiana Elite because he was playing up a year and Mullins was playing the 2. Fans have a misconception that he is Smiths replacement he is Fletchers. People question every part of Loyer's athletic ability why? Kid scores 14 points per on a national title contender. West is in the same boat and just an inch taller. Both listed as a PG IMO neither will play much at PG. Unless we sign a 2026 PG. I expect Cox and Mayer will succeed Smith. Plenty will treat Ertel with the same disrespect afforded Loyer and like Loyer the kid will just win.

You’re welcome. These are huge issues. Just last year there were around 10 out of 510,000 athletes that were playing collegiate sports. With that proportion, I’m a little surprised anyone can go a single day without playing a transgender athlete in a women’s sport. I get why it is a key topic Trump used to get elected.

that's 10 too many. it's pretty simple. You tell those 10 "sorry, you can't play".

Thank you for pointing out two key topics that helped get Trump elected. Well done!
You lefty libs want to try and avoid the topic: "Move on, nothing to see here", while the rest of the country does care. Deeply.

Ertel named 1st team all Addias session 2 along with Kinney and Ogden. Trey Thompson named second team. Brandon Bass Jr. named 3rd team. Kevin Savage named 1st team underclassman and MVP. Tay Kinney named Offensive MVP averaged 25.3 per game. Also, Ertel top 10 in scoring with 21 per game. Painter knows talent and it shows. Where is Anthony Thompson? he didn't play this weekend not sure why listed as personal which isn't unusual for May tourneys. I think Isaiah Hill 2027 was named MVP in what used to be known as Under Armor circuit. I know this no other player received as much national praise as Ertel. In the 2027 Cooper Zachery was a standout and is no longer a hidden gem. Top 10 in Addias is normally top 50 player which IMO Ertel should land. I watched an interview from behind a pay wall where Luke said Purdue is projecting him as a wing not a PG makes sense to me.
