That juco ruling was wild.. I can’t predict what that will do. I also don’t fully understand why the courts hate the ncaa making rules so much. It feels like organizations are allowed to create rules in every other case.

Regardless, I am hopeful about the step back as well. No more Johni Broomes as COVID seniors.

The front line for Auburn of Broome and Cardwell are fifth year Covid guys.

Other notables:

Sears, Nelson, Dickinson, Love, RJ Davis, cryer, Ike, Kalkbrenner, Johnnell Davis, kadary Richmond, Ballo (overpaid and outta shape who stays out late at bars night before games and gets benched) and I can’t forget…Gillis and Morton (😂)

63-39 MSU at the end of the third quarter. Starters for Purdue for the second half:

McCarthy, Puryear, Amiyah, Lombard and Petree. Not sure what CKG is trying to establish, but it isn't working against any teams that are not tomato cans.

Happy New Year. The “area for improvement” on defense is due to being Zach-less. Although Zach was not a big time shot blocker, he prevented a lot of shots from being taken near the rim once opponents blew by Purdue’s perimeter/ wing defenders. Of course he made Purdue’s rebounding a strength.

Not sure if this has been posted but it’s interesting about the rebounding margin throughout the years:

Purdue Rebounding Margin by Year

23-24 +11.1
22-23 +10.8
15-16 +10.5
21-22 +9.6
16-17 +6.7
20-21 +6.2
18-19 +5.2
14-15 +4.7
19-20 +4.2
13-14 +3.6
17-18 +2.5
10-11 +1.9
06-07 +1.2
05-06 +1.0
12-13 +0.9
24-25 +0.5
07-08 +0.3
08-09 -0.6
09-10 -1.6
11-12 -4.4

Always a tough out at Rutgers. Happy to get that young team on the road early and in Mackey later in the season.

Wish it were the reverse and we played there later in the year. Interested to see how we guard Harper and Bailey. Will that be Colvin and heides assignments?

A 4th person or 4th option to step up. The top 3 are fine, but when one or two of those 3 do not have it that night, we are 50/50 on getting knocked off. We are thin like a model in Vegas. No matter how thin you slice it, there are still two sides. Thin equals a skinny result. There is a thin line that separates success and pain. Thin is part of think, which rhymes with stink.

Just sayin'
Go Boilers!

While I agree. Step back and think what that means. Offense would need to either be run for the 4th option OR they hit shots. So, if Colvin or Heide or cox can hit a few shots, then it’s all good. If one of them had hit a few shots these past few games, then we wouldn’t be as worried.

I think law of averages comes into play here and shots start to go down.

Even with a 4-team playoff for as long as we had it, there were TONS of blowouts. More blowouts than competitive games really. There's no real answer.

Like many, I'd be ok with eight, but 12 it is....for now. They should seriously consider looking at the seeding/bye process, though - or risk an unbalanced bracket like this year, IMO.

Already broke a New Year resolution with further comment on this....haha.

Tommaker said:

Yeah, the first quarter, 2 offensive plays and 14 points have killed that. I think this game continues to show that 4 teams in the playoffs are plenty.

When the BT and SEC expand again sometime in the future, the CFP using strength of schedule is going to have to be a bigger factor in the equation.

48-21 at the half. Purdue with 18 TOs, just watching the play by play it seems like MSU has already called off the dogs even before halftime.

They should just cancel most non CFP bowls anyway. You can tell by attendance that most fans don’t care about these bowls either. Obviously by the number of sit outs, most players don’t care also.

As far as the NIL, since the NCAA set no limits, players are going to be expected to be paid to go to practices in the very near future.

Of course who cares. But the Gunner man was blaming this on open borders when the dude is an American citizen. If it turns out that that was misinformation and he came through the borders then he has a point. But until then….

There y’all go again calling a black woman a DEI hire again. Oh I forgot, white folks are perfect and don’t ever make mistakes or false statements. Calling black people DEI hires is getting old now and it is racist. You sir are a racist. This woman is qualified to be a FBI Special Agent as anyone.

Nothing to do with race. The clown DEI hires on Trump’s Secret Service detail were white.

And I’m also blaming Giggles the border czar for this slaughter. She’s part white.

Anyone who says a guy named Shamsud Din Jabbar, driving a truck into a crowd of people, with a FREAKING ISIS FLAG on it, isn’t a terrorist, is a MORON. (Just like people who insisted for the last 4 years that Slow Joe didn’t have dementia are MORONS)


The FBI shouldn’t be hiring morons.

Yeah good point, we've missed that go to person since Lasha left. Sure, she wasn't an all american, but she was able to get a bucket on her own here and there to release some pressure for our O. Sometimes a player like that could turn around a team. What does that 22' look like without her? Probably not 19-11.

CKG NEEDS that portal go to player next season.

I've seen links posted on Twitter before for the weekly shows.. I think they've been on Facebook as well?

Click to expand...

I am not trying to be mean, but what have you seen in the last 3+ years that makes you think CKG can land a top tier transfer capable of carrying her lame offensive scheme and a collection of decent players that are none of them progressing into good college players?

Additionally, if you were that level of difference maker, why would you look at Purdue instead of say USCar, USCal, or some program capable of taking you to a final four?

As far as I am concerned Lasha was not an addition, yeah she could score, but it was one on one and threw the timing of the offense off for everyone else. She did not help us win any meaningful games. That's my 2 cents on her. Bass looks the same way to me.

Ohio State beat Penn State at Penn State if I'm not mistaken. However if it was determined that Penn State was the #2 team in the Big Ten then put them in over Ohio State. The playoffs should not have to take 3-4 teams per conference just because the conferences are too big to legitimately determine their best teams during the season.

Click to expand...

The conferences have all been too big to determine that since they stopped playing each conference team, whenever that was.

The current playoff is clearly unfair to Oregon and tosu, having to play each other and then likely the winner plays Texas. Somehow Penn State got the easy sub-bracket and will likely be in the final game without being seriously challenged since ND is overrated and Ga. has lost its qb.
