OT: And DOWN goes the Beaver press box!

There are several different angles available on YouTube. I always wondered why folks didn't sell these demolitions as an opportunity to Hollyweird for a scene in a anction movie (adding the required pyrotechnics, of course.) I'm thinking that may have been done with one of the Vegas old hotel demolitions?

was all over the news out here, I'm sure w/ all their $$$ they will erect something Hilton worthy

got another qb from portal

He did get paid. An offer he can’t refuse as he was seriously considering staying here still, and would have fit our system well. Belichicks contract said he would get minimum $13m in revenue sharing, that’s more than $150k per scholarship and player and I suspect he got significantly more than average.
Interesting. Seems like he would have been in line to get at least that if he were the starting QB at Purdue, no?

Either way, I'm happy with Singleton from the little I've seen.

Purdue -6.5

I am hoping for a win IMO NW is legit they got robbed in IOWA and lost a nail biter @ Penn St. could easily have 3 B1G Ten wins. I view them as a tourney team with a legit chance of winning the B1G and the B1G tourney. My top five in the B10 Purdue, MSU. UI, Mich. and NW. Bottom five Wash, Minn, Rutgers, USC, and OSU. One thing that never changes anyone in the B10 can win on any given day.

2026 Recruit…

Kira the 6'5 PG is ranked #1 in Indiana girls HS BB while SR3 is ranked #1 in Indiana boys for the 2026 class. Heads up there are 3 younger ones to follow these 4 Renyolds. I am addicted to watching SR3. There will be no freshman learning curve. He is game ready now there is no higher basketball IQ unless you count Kira. SR3 reminds of E'Twaun they are about the same size and just handle themselves the same. Lowkey until they hit the court. ICYDK both mom and dad coach SB Washington girl's dad is the HC. Do not count him as a done deal. Coach Shrews is all over him and IZZO is close behind. We do have the Jaden Ivey train going for us. I would call it a tossup between these 3 schools with many more in the hunt including Duke, NC, Kentucky and Oregon.
I really hope we get him, use selling point that he will take over Smith's spot. OB52, do you think Ertel is legit?

Thanks yeah I am sure I was not diagnosed as really it wasn't a thing back then, so I am sure a lot of who I served with had it... some of what helped my buddies was going to the VFW as odd as that sounds. You're around fellow service folks that have seen/been through the same thing you have and that goes a long way I think.
isolation is a problem with all mental issues I suspect and so I'm sure being around others with similar issues does in fact help!

I like what I see so far. Thought Odom would be calling on us to pass out flyers at all MAC schools asking people to come join the team but getting some nice pickups.
It’s exciting but we are dead last in team portal rankings in B1G still in terms of average ranking. Hoping we get some big names weekend that bump us up. But when you are in a revenue sharing conference) there are only 2 known and we know individual teams in other conferences are) it’s major leagues vs minor leagues so we absolutely should be getting good portal entries. This is where the SEC, B1G, and the handful of other programs going all in on revenue sharing will pull away from the others.

Re: Browne

How much do you think he could have possibly been paid to go to UNC? While I was high on Browne, I can't see anyone paying him much based on how little he played. I dont know UNCs QB situation, but I'm guessing Browne is far from just being given the starting job. Maybe UNC has gobs of money to give everyone?

My God, that is sad.
Yes it is/was...more than the more sanitary parts I posted. As @BBG related...much too common. There are people that are dealing with real difficulties, much worse than anything that can be said. I'm not going into everything from her being a cheerleader and then coming home after Iraq, but Iraq definitely left an impact. Her youngest son (6????) I understand never actually saw it, but heard the shot and ran outside and saw her on the ground and brushed her hair off her face and with her eyes open thought she was alive and just not responding. Anyway, yes it is and was sad.

I liked Browne and it’s a shame the past coaches ruined his Purdue career. He’s got a bright future if he can find the right system that fits his play. He brought a lot to the table and was definitely QB1 next year but obviously coaching changes and a disappointing season will change a kids mind plus I’m sure he got paid going to UNC.

That is sadly a frequent story and really is an epidemic anymore with as bad as it has gotten. and how much it is generally ignored (by government officials).

MY father had bad PTSD and drank himself in to oblivion.. I think what "saved" me was I changed jobs and sorta eased my way out. and have been involved in one degree or another since I discharged. Hard to say, not everyone is the same which is what makes this also very hard to treat.

Anyway sorry to derail this sad story just hits home a bit.
I figured you would relate, but was hopeful you could deal with the post.

From the highlights I saw of Singleton, it seems he is poised to be QB1. Definitely seems Odom prefers a mobile QB at least for now. Makes sense with our line. Kind of makes me wonder why Browne didn't stick around.

That’s 4 portal QBs thus far, right? I wonder if the initial QB transfer(s) knew we’d be taking on several more. I doubt these guys are signing up to be third or fourth string.
3 portal guys
1 high school recruit
The QB room was empty when they signed so I’m sure coaches informed them that they wouldn’t be the only ones signed and the jobs wide open.
I heard on the radio show that Bennett Meredith (the lone QB on the roster) was probably graduating early and would also be gone so that’s a factor in signing more QBs.

he did against Hobart


Can we get him on the team now? LOL

Size and can score. Be fortunate if he does come here to lead team after Smith & Loyer depart.

Well, we can see what chasing stars the last two years got us..... Better coaching, with middle of the road players that are productive would be a huge improvement.
Don’t let BCFan get a whiff of the positivity.

He’ll just shout “Money, Money” and then cite a player we haven’t heard of in 22 years and then disappear for another 2 months.

Not that I don’t enjoy the disappearing act but equating us to playing an average level of competitive ball to fundraising like the big boys part is old. With our budget, either with NIL or revenue sharing that does not preclude us from getting good players and having the right coach that can get the most out of them while they are here.

All the money in the world doesn’t matter if you can’t teach that talent to win!
