Kids dad played at Texas and is the GM of their program now. I haven't seen anything on him in a while, but in the past it was said that this kid was a perfect fit at Purdue and it was a legit possible destination for him.

But with pops as gm for UT…not looking likely for us haha.

Was trying to find news on Trey Thompson as he said he was hoping to decide by this time, but not sure if there’s anything new.

I watched parts of this until Minny was down 10 and stopped checking in. My takeaway, even when they were down, was that the Gophers were playing their asses off. Nice to see Ben Johnson pull this out.

Ben seems rather calm, but his asst which was Ben's high school coach was very intense in the huddle the game before talking about bringing the physicality.

IMO, he has a better shot at making an NBA team than Euro league. That league is made up of the hardest working men and every play is contested. Clearly not his game. China maybe?

Haha. You’re probably right.

Sad to see all that potential wasted because you haven’t had a coach who pushes you and rides you when you’re out of line.

Back part of the conference schedule is really interesting, not just for Purdue, which has to be all-hands-on-deck mentality.

Similarly to 2019, Michigan and Michigan State play twice toward the end. Michigan State plays Michigan twice, @ Illinois and hosts Purdue among its last seven games. Oregon looks to have the most favorable (on paper).....you never know for sure, but there definitely are some potential really good match-ups down the stretch.

Long, long way to go before that, and other teams could fight their way into the mix.

Last 7 games:

Purdue - @ Michigan, Wisconsin, @ Michigan State, @ Indiana, UCLA, Rutgers, @ Illinois (pack your hard hat)

Illinois - @ Minnesota, UCLA, Michigan State, @ Wisconsin, Iowa, @ Michigan, Purdue

Michigan State - @ Illinois, Purdue, @ Michigan, @ Maryland, Wisconsin, @ Iowa, Michigan

Michigan - @ Ohio State, Michigan State, @ Nebraska, Rutgers, Illinois, Maryland, @ Michigan State

Oregon - Northwestern, Rutgers, @ Iowa, @ Wisconsin, USC, Indiana, @ Washington

Purdue road looks tough with those 4 tough away games. Not to mention Oregon.
Comparitaviley, Oregon, Mich and Illinois looks like they caught a break.

Unbalanced schedules hard to figure, but certainly leave some with higher probabilities.

Tough game to watch down the stretch of regulation with all the official reviews. Damn it's getting bad.

Nice result though. Turned it on with Michigan up 10, like 51-41 or something, and the next time I looked up it was tied. There's not a lot of talent on that team but they hit big shots and just hung tough.

Probably should have either called timeout or chucked it at the Michigan defender's knee when he got caught in the corner (after a push).
Click to expand...
yes, he was pushed. I don't believe there was a TO left, but could be wrong. I also at the time thought about the knee (or lower) and questioned if a good angle was there. No matter what the rule of thumb is to NOT save or throw a ball under the other team's basket unless you know exactly where it is going. He threw it behind the bankboard, ;) which made no sense either and you know he wasn't trying to throw it out of bounds.

I have to admit I tapped out after the first quarter 9 turnovers. I did check back in with the radio every now and then to see if things were getting better. I'm doing my best to be supportive, but it is darn hard to come up with the reasons, except the "we are young".

We are a FF contender if THIS version of Caleb Furst returns for the 24/25 season.

Purdue is playing well right now, but they're beating the hell out of teams they should beat the hell out of. "Beat the teams you're supposed to beat" as they say.
Unfortunately, the team has also be run off the floor a couple of times and been manhandled in their losses where they didn't have an answer.

Anyone with a brain or not suffering from serious TDS (BNI, Bob, Wole) knows that the ceasefire and hostage release is 100% the Trump effect. Biden had little if anything to do with it.

Braun Eliminates DEI

BNIBoiler said:
City fire departments have a history of hiring many, many legacy candidates. There have been generations of white sons, fathers, brothers, etc that have been hired for decades regardless of qualifications. Doing so have shut many blacks an minorities. In addition, these white firemen would share the entrance exam questions to their family members applying.

So my question to y’all anti-DEI folks is that fair? And why haven’t y’all complain about that? I used city fire departments as an example. This practice have been going on in other industries for decades.

Wow....this is a reach, even for you. Now you're claiming reverse DEI in our fire departments?
The same could probably be said for jobs at the DMV, social services, etc.
