#2 Alabama at #13 Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

I doubt Matt moves away from Berg...at least for a while. Much like Trey had minutes at the 4 last year with the anticipation dividends would be paid later in the season. Today, there is no question that Trey at the 5 is the best five. That has been known for some time. What is also known is that Berg is VERY inexperienced with some potential to improve. How much more improvement does Trey offer in the future at the five in comparison to Berg this year? The cast around Trey at the five offers some growth though. You want to win today, but you would like to have growth through the season and be the best rounded team later in the year, not at this moment...but you still want to win. Likewise, Burgess minutes will probably grow. Caleb is a known commodity as well.

Matt does NOT want a limited team. I believe he wants to be able to play big as needed and to shore up that internal D a bit better "if" possible? What happens if Trey gets foul trouble, hurt or just has a really off game? Berg may not be the answer. If not ,then Burgess gets more minutes perhaps? This team can score and Trey at the 5 can be explosive, but you do not want to peak out by December in versatility even with the growth we expect by the freshmen a bit. I expect Berg to start against Marquette and his minutes based upon his production. It is a long season and there is a reason why Berg has started even when Daniel was available...even if the results today are behind what is needed.
I like Berg a lot and believe he has the potential to be a very solid player while here. He had to learn something playing against Zach every day in practice. Confidence will help him when he knows he's good enough to compete.

This may be the worst team at PU in years, decades, and maybe a century.

Not big enough
Can't block.
No speed at key positions
Can't run routes
Two much better than average QB's, both would be starting somewhere else.
Can't tackle
Can't figure it out
Not strong enough to open holes on the line
Not smart enough coaching staff to resign on their own.

If Bo doesn't dismiss Walters of his HC duty before seasons end, Bo needs to be shown the door to the outside world.

Spend the money now and get one of these guys.

On the flip side to that, I think he played very well those first 5 mins of the game —for him. That was the best he looked so far. Now understand, it’s not where we need him to be to make a deep run with him playing major mins. But it was encouraging to see the effort and more physicality from him than we had seen in the first 3 games.
I don’t mind him starting games—it’s kinda like TKR last year…it forces the other teams to play us differently. Liking the rotations we have and the majority of the last 2 games, TKR has played the 5 with Heide at the 4. Even Furst looked a lot better out there last night. Then we get to our closing lineup and Berg is not there (which is fine) and we go small(er).

Hopefully, he continues to improve and understand his role to allow the team to be really successful.
My take is that he is playing tentative on offense. My impression is that he isn't slow, he is just slow to react because he isn't quite sure what to do. We'll see if he gets into the flow after getting a few games under his belt.

Anyone else just not watching our games anymore?

Didn't watch a second of last week's game. And not because I had to go to a wedding or take my kid to ballgame or anything like that. Just was convinced there was literal no chance we would even be competitive so saw no point in watching it. Hasn't felt like that since Hazell. Not planning to watch our last games either. Fully convinced we will lose them by 30+.
I quit watching after the Oregon shutout. This team is BORING.

Deportation Plans???

Bob,
How many illegals are you willing to house in your home?
We know you're for open borders, so I say put your money where your mouth is.



Because they are all thieves.
So, Mr. Obvious, do you support illegals being allowed to stay?

Hey BOB....you have questions to answer

A BIT LOUDER PLEASE!!! FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!! Especially @TwinDegrees2 😂

And pretty sure he JUST turned 19 a few months ago.
DP, I told you last year that I hoped Colvin would finally get "it" at some point. I don't know if he's learned all he needs to learn yet, but he is playing better. Lots of options with this group of young men.

If IU was the flaming turd of the past, we might be able to withstand another year of misery before righting the ship, but we are now in a much more dire position than we were with Hope and Hazell.

Our in-State recruiting just became dramatically more difficult than any time in recent memory. Who in their right mind would commit to play football at Purdue under Walters over Cignetti with IU? We better find a high caliber coach immediately or our hole will be so deep it will take decades to dig out.

It is now time for Purdue to spend and to spend big.

Only alternative method I see is to fill Ross-Ade next year under Walters would be to start offering a limited time all-inclusive wristband with each season ticket granting a fireball shot every time our opponent scores and unlimited Busch Lite chasers.
Should we have offered Brohm a contract like Cignetti just got and would have that kept him? Interesting question now, in lieu of what IU has done.
