With a late start, whenever we get our next coach, there is going to have to be 40-50 transfers at least with no recruiting class and all of the transfers out. It worked for IU, so I don't know why it cannot work for us.

You cant make this up:

As Human Rights Tribunal vice-chair Karen Dawson wrote in her decision, “I find this remark was demeaning and disparaging of the LGBTQ2 community of which Borderland Pride is a member and therefore constituted discrimination under the Code.”

Are we going to have to listen to this BS for 4 years? What do we believe or not believe? Do you have the magic decoder ring?

He said he's going on the retribution tour.............and he has no idea who is behind project 2025 and knows nothing about it. His choices for his cabinet and his appointments sure make it look like both of those are true.

Which campaign promises are we supposed to believe? Didn't you and half the country VOTE BASED ON WHAT HE PROMISED?

You have no choice but to take your ridiculous position. When he does what he promised you celebrate and when he doesn't you criticize others for freaking believing him. Cover your ass either way. How convenient for you.

These games for sure mean a lot come March. We will be on here debating resumes and so will the selection committee. PU getting a number 1 seed the past 2 years wasn't just because we won the B1G. It was because we played very well in the pre-conference and beat some very good teams. These games do matter.

I had forgotten about that until you posted this. Seems like he was having drinking issues and depression if I remember right. Stepped away during his junior year. He for sure still has issues with his temper and overall control of himself. Good chance it will be his undoing someday. All is great when you're winning and everyone in your community loves you. Not as easy when things don't go your way. Just look at how unhinged he was over 3 losses. Imagine if a whole season didn't go your way....

Completely agree. DJ has a lot of work to do in rehab and on his body in general but if he can rebound and block shots at an elite level he significantly raises the ceiling of next year's team, whether starting or coming off the bench.

That's not an example of not being able to develop as I am sure he was in the weight room but never got bigger like his brother and wasn't fast enough to play other positions.

You can't develop what genetics limit and that is what happened to Yanni.

Bob, this is where you are confused. We bomb the village it came from, but we also bomb government buildings, storage centers, and the like. This is the meaning of bombing the crap out of them.

he was a 4 star recruit. sure he was probably over rated because of his brother. but he provides a very realistic example of Purdue's lack of ability to develop any player. he even redshirted, and he still didn't develop.

Agree about his courage, but not happy that US taxpayers, as opposed to European taxpayers, are paying him 1 mil to risk his life.

Taking a look at our schedule so far, going from best to worst NET-wise:

1. Marquette - 7 - Since this is a road game, I can't see it possibly dropping out of Quad 1 (Top 75).
2. Alabama - 13 - Has to stay top 30 to stay a Quad 1 win since it was at home. Probably will considering their schedule strength the way it is and will be.
3. Ole Miss - 55 - Quad 2 win right now, but good chance to become Quad 1 as that cutoff is 50 for neutral games.
4. NC State - 91 - on the other end of the Quad 2 range. Higher than 100 would make it Quad 3. I would expect it to get better, not worse.
5. Yale - 106 - Kinda cemented in Quad 3. Would need to get to 75 to move up.
6. Texas A&M CC - 140 - This game could drop to Quad 4. They don't have a strong conference that could help their metrics.
7. Marshall - 192 - Needs to move to 160 to become Quad 3. Unlikely.
8. Northern Kentucky - 286 - Locked into Quad 4.

And the rest of our Non-conference:
1. Auburn - 2 - Win or lose, this will be Quad 1. Neutral or road shouldn't make a difference. Currently neutral, but see below about A&M.
2. Texas A&M - 43 - Labeled right now as Neutral, but the NCAA can make adjustments during the season on these things. David Worlock from the NCAA put out a post on X about it this morning, but I didn't get a chance to read it. Could make a difference because as neutral, it's Quad 1, but as a home game it's Quad 2, currently.
3. Toledo - 197 - Pretty solid in the Quad 4 range, but the MAC is usually decent, so possible room to move if they're good. Currently 5-3, and will likely finish NC at 6-5.

Yes, it sounded like they are looking at only current head coaches for sure.

Gun registration fraud, no biggie.
Tax charges and back taxes owed are substantial.
Biggest no, no IMO, was traveling to Foreign Countries to conduct business, on Air Force 2, when the FBI had pulled his VISA.
And did he violate the FARA Regulation? Pretty sure what he was doing fits the definition of a FARA violation.

A public official of the United States in the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government or in any agency of the United States, including the District of Columbia, who is or acts as an agent of a foreign principal required to register under the FARA or a lobbyist required to register under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 in connection with the representation of a foreign entity, as defined in Section 3(6) of that Act.

And

FARA is an important tool to identify foreign influence in the United States and address threats to national security. The central purpose of FARA is to promote transparency with respect to foreign influence within the United States by ensuring that the United States government and the public know the source of certain information from foreign agents intended to influence American public opinion, policy, and laws, thereby facilitating informed evaluation of that information. FARA fosters transparency by requiring that persons who engage in specified activities within the United States on behalf of a foreign principal register with and disclose those activities to the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice is required to make such information publicly available

I watched this last night and one thing that REALLY stood out to me was PJ describing the last play of the game (I think that was it) and it worked out perfectly.

PJ is on his way to being a great coach it seems.
