IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

I guess my saying IU playing a weakass schedule next year didn't adequately express my thoughts of how much disdain I have for IU's path to mediocrity? LOL

IU's schedule next year will likely be top 25-ish or better. Three cupcakes to start, but then it includes at Penn State, at Iowa, at Oregon, at Maryland, at what I would suppose you all will project will be a greatly improved Purdue team, and home against Wisconsin, Illinois, MSU, and UCLA. Seven to ten wins would be outstanding for a historically bad P5 program and would not be "mediocre."

They didn’t dominate them . I’m fact georgia outscored ND 10-3 for 39 of the 40 minutes as ND scored 17 of them in a 60 second segment of game time. Heck georgia had more offensive yards than ND by 50+. Georgia had a lot of unfortunate plays, fumble before half, dropped pass, dumb penalty on 4th down, even a walkon QB on street clothes getting in the way. And until the final drive Georgia had about 100 more offensive yards. How is that being dominated?

Meanwhile until garbage time ND had about 250 more yards than Indiana.

But don’t let facts get in the way.

Yea that's one way to spin a team getting dominated 🤣🤣🤣

Forget salaries, did you see Wendy's had a salad bar and it was only $1.99? :p

I bet Steve Lavin remembers, because didn't Keady give him and his assistants coupons for free food at that Wendys?

You think Gene was not paid compared to current head coaches. Well, being assistant coaches in the era was even worse.

You could say that about anything in sports now though.

Ewers might make $6 million as a college player next year supposedly. QBs like Joe Montana did not make that much playing themselves at the height of their careers. Now, you have starting QBs making a minimum of $40 million a year for average QBs. You have Dak Prescott making $62 million.

Who is this going to end up hitting in the pocketbook? The fans through high ticket prices, cable or streaming bills, etc. It has gotten insane.

he does whatever he can to win. It was a year or two ago that I said if there was another Braden clone to handle the ball, the first Braden would be fine at a 2. His shot may be off, players may not make baskets and lower his assists and he may not get all the boards he wants, but outside of any desired metric you know he will give it all he has every game in so many ways

Part of being a great coach is bringing in Talent -- he does that well. But talent & coaching equals success. He has has that the last 4-5 years.

Love the coaches attitude about scoring in first 7 seconds, when available. And it was available alot last night vs Oregon. That puts alot of offensive pressure on an opponent.

That was a jaw-dropping beatdown last night-- a scary combination of Illini athleticism and execution, and what had to be the most clueless, inept defense ever by Oregon. Underwood is kind of a wierdo, but his results speak for themselves.

Of course, Oregon will have all that ineptitude worked out by the time Purdue shows up in Eugene later this month.

The Featherheads' psycho, myopic fans take manic depression to amazing levels, and their seething envy of Painter and Purdue makes reading their fan boards a delight!

Gotta hand it to the Illinois coach. He seems to be a master at bringing in the right players.....portal or recruiting. Then after getting them to IL, putting the pieces together and making very good teams out of his pieces. Yet to see a great team, maybe this one is it??

Solid job of stating that:
  1. IU Football is already toast going forward, and then
  2. Contradicting yourself to explain away IU Football doing well next year.
All in one post! Finishing by loading up on the future excuses for IU Football winning 7-10 games next season? Nothing like planning ahead.

About what the last few years? Just say it. What is it? Well of course he won't say it cause there's nothing to say. This is a sitting US senator taking political shots at the media, implying past info is being withheld, and playing the trump tough guy by threatening investigators if they don't come forward with an explanation of what happened. Throws a little red meat, preemptive conspiracy out for you to swallow. The attack isn't 24 hours old and he's railing about what he's gonna do if authorities don't tell us everything.......which could be months down the road.

He checked all the trump boxes. Made it about himself, attacked the media, and tossed a conspiracy or two for good measure. Right up your alley.

John is aware of all the lies as well as the dropped interest in other events to the country in the recent past and suggested that as you said, things would be different. Why you are unaware of the lies in the recent past is beyond my wildest imagination. Most the country knows, but it is okay, there are some that haven't even recognized their mistake of voting for Biden or aware of the disaster he has caused and so not everybody is aware...and many will forget. If only the social media and the pretend journalists could remind people what they are to believe they might get everybody stupid.

I think the team will remain together minus Waddell and Berg. Hope Paint gets some pieces in the portal.

There's 2 guys on the team that have shown some real flashes but don't seem to have developed their game to improve their weaknesses. I'm sure they're going to sniff around the portal, especially if Painter sees those as a position of need.

Purdue Salaries (1987) - found this from the Exponent in 1987 while I was looking for something else. A decent salary back then, but basketball coaches have come a long way since. To think that Gene made less than Fred Akers and significantly less than Steven Beering! I imagine that ratio for basketball coaches:college presidents has now flipped (and then some) for major conference schools. Also, love the ad to watch the Purdue-Louisville football game at Quincey's. That was my first football game as a student. We ended up tying the Howard Schnellenberger coached team.
