Bobinski needs to go before Walters

Last time I looked the AD was responsible for generating revenue, and all sports. The last time I looked a University President was to establish academic integrity and generate revenue. Their #1 priority is NOT to build a winning football team at the expense of other academic and athletic priorities

You people need to get it into your head that the world does not revolve around Purdue football. The world and Purdue Univerity are doing just fine without a winning football team.

Our golf and baseball team are doing well. The women’s volleyball team is awesome. Our diving team had several Olympic divers. The track team has improved. The men’s basketball team went to the final 4. The big 10 network has provided increased revenues. All of this success, and you want to fire the AD? BOBO has done an awesome job! The football team sucks but still plays to sold out crowds. What other college can say the same?

As for our university president, I highly doubt football is her #1 priority. She doesn’t bow down to the football team. Rather they should bow down to her. She’s the one who helped negotiate the big 10 network deal, not any football coach. Brohm didn’t negotiate that deal, our AD and President did.

It’s time you people opened your eyes and realized what the purpose of a president and AD are. And that the rest of Purduecand the world doesn’t revolve around or bow down to Purdue football.

The significance of Purdue football and its fans is very minuscule when compared to the overall purpose of this university.

So go buy yourself a PBR and start crying in it. Biitch all you want! Complain and argue all you want. Saban is not the President of Purdue University. Our President is concerned about research and academics. Football at Purdue is an extracurricular activity, not a core essential!

Can you just go away?

On top of being obnoxiously annoying you miss the whole point.

Football is the cash cow. We currently suck at it. Continue to suck at it we could get left out of some SEC/BIG super conference.

I understand you don’t get it but if I were you I’d stop showcasing that fact hourly on this board.

I agree. The purpose of my post was to point out to the Kool-aid drinkers that made comments about the OL, our SEC WR corps, and our highly ranked CB's all being vastly improved was a paper dream and had no basis in reality. I made this same comment after the spring scrimmage. It could also be that the players have talent but that the coaches are idiots.........but I am convinced that the BOT plans to keep Walters around for another year.

Weird you point out the SEC WR corp when there are two of them. The two OL guys from smaller schools had good track records. The CB room was on the basis it couldn’t get worse. We didn’t realize the coaching staff wasn’t going to be able to utilize the talent effectively. It say it’s a 25% talent issue and a 75% coaching issue.

Daniel Jacobsen likely to miss rest of season

P
So, Jacobsen is reportedly going in for surgery today. Anybody know the repair method they plan to use? Maybe it is just me, but I hope it is minor enough that they plan to plate it versus putting a permanent steel rod in his leg. Whatever the case I wish him all the best and a speedy recovery. Can't wait to see him back on the floor doing great things in the future!

Big Ten Power Rankings

This years big ten should have a LOT of parity. No clear favorite. Bracketmatrix projects the following seeds
4 - Purdue
5 - Indiana
5 - UCLA
7 - Illinois
7 - MSU
8 - Rutgers
9 - Oregon
9 - OSU
10 - Michigan
Md, WI, Iowa, USC all bubble teams wirh northwestern and Nebraska lurking too. That’s 15 of 18 teams (no love for Washington, Penn State, or Minny).

Not a lot separating Michigan from Purdue. 14-6 might win it this year!

I’m confused if you looked at Illinois’ correct non-conference schedule…?

vs. #2 Alabama (Birmingham, AL)
vs. #18 Arkansas (Kansas City, MO)
vs. #11 Tennessee
vs. Missouri (St. Louis, MO)
vs. #6 Duke (New York, NY)

Mizzou is bad (although that rivalry setup is intense every year no matter what) and the Duke game is in February, but … weak? #2, #11 and #18 all away from home before conference play is not exceptionally weak, lol.

Indiana’s schedule is a joke as always, of course.

IU’s schedule is weak, I do think they’re a good team though, I realize it’s tough for us Purdue fans to admit.

BoilerDaddy said:
Gillis did well and Heide is more athletic than Gillis was. The small ball lineup gives up rim protection but has its advantages in terms of mobility. With great effort and coordinated, connected team defense, deficiencies can be masked. Something will be conceded normally, but Purdue will follow the analytics and concede less efficient shots. I think that potential is there with this lineup to play good enough defense while exploiting mismatches on offense and gaining an overall edge. It won’t be as easy as last year with Edey, but I am looking forward to seeing this group figure it out over time. I certainly expect some bumps in the road early, but I think that this group is a bit like Carsen Edwards’ 2019 team and will likely finish strong.

Blab was first team all-conference in '85 and had a 5-year stint in the NBA (235 games played with 34 starts) with Dallas, Golden State, and San Antonio.

It is a work-in-progress made a little more difficult with DJ's unfortunate injury. Painter has more options/flexibility - definitely opportunities for plenty of them.....but Purdue will takes its lumps from time to time no question.....have to maximize where they can take advantage of it with the rest of the team. Painter has shown willingness to gamble on defense for offense in spurts if he's getting more from TKR at the 5 - he said that in his press conference.

I find that incredibly refreshing given Matt's "Gene's" and inclinations for defense. Bolded for those that say he can't change his tactics. ;)
Purdue Grad in Texas said:
Will Berg is still has some of that bull-in-the-china-shop right now to me, but that doesn't mean he can't further develop into what Painter wants and the team needs. Burgess will be good down the line. Caleb Furst - just empty the tank and produce whatever he can.

The next two games are an early exam for this team - we shall see, but there may need to be a little patience.
Click to expand...
Will will progress a lot more this year than he would have with DJ playing. Caleb has a lot more to show and he'll do some work as he'll now get enough burn to get into the game . Burgess will get his chance to be the outside shooter to keep them off TKR in the paint. Hated to lose the kid, but I really like what it does for the other guys and their chances to improve. DJ looks like he could be very very good, but he was/is very weak this year and that was going to hurt him adn the team at times. This year to get to stronger might be a big positive for the rest of his career. He comes in 20lbs of muscle stronger and he'll be a force NEXT year. That would not happen as quickly if he was playing and not putting the same intensity into his weight training. Crossing fingers that weight training and training table bears results for him and doesn't take a couple of years like it did for Fletch to not be getting beat up.

Where has this been reported?
Click to expand...
Sorry, didn’t mean to make that sound more official than it was. I was referring to the rumors here from people who scour social media inter-webs and stated that’s what they’ve heard people discussing. Should have said “rumored” to be more specific.

Regardless, until we hear something to the contrary, it’s going to be an increasing concern all season long. There would be no need to call for anybody to get fired if it was obvious that was the administration’s intent. People are just fearful they’re gonna find some stupid reason not to.

"Could also be..." You are just a troll. Why don't you give up your 28-year season tickets again because of the coach. Yet you kept them thru Coletto and Hazell... right.

If as has been reported, the administration might be inclined to keep CRW around for another season, then an honest display of disgust might be the opposite of detrimental. Doubling down on a bad decision would be detrimental. The optics of silencing dissent is detrimental.

The letter is hypocritical as it casts a wide net that calls out behavior which they’ve not previously taken such a hard line on ( “IU Sucks” chant). For them to issue this statement now in this particular scenario suggests they are ramping up censorship to protect their own skins, and not due to any moral consistency.

Uwe Blab(b?) was very stiff and mechanical in his movements and still was an All american (I think) and had a sniff in the NBA. Doesn't have to be pretty. I'm encouraged by how he grabs the ball when it's available. Strong. Needs more pt. I get the sense he might need more time to get relaxed and into the game than other guys that grew up here playing.

Have gotten to talk to some of the JMU transfers parents while at games and tailgating this season.
Seems none were recruited by UVA or VT coming out of high school, but most were contacted, and wanted by them while in the portal last December. They shed some light on the NIL process too.
Sarratt is a real interesting case in that he transferred into JMU having come from St Francis of PA. Safe to say, he had even fewer offers than the guys who started at JMU.

And then there’s IU starting defensive tackle James Carpenter.

He began his college career with his first two years as a walk on at JMU.

Has anyone read any good articles on how this would work? I haven't seen it. Or want to theorize on how it might happen?

Clearly 62% poll to deport so support is out there even though I am in the 38%

Wonder if Trump will be more selective in mass deportation now that Latinos are trending voting up for the Rs??

OT: Duke and Kentucky game

Tommaker
Got to see a little of Gillis in the loss. Glad he's getting some PT. Was listening to the talking heads as they gave the background on the players and kept hearing "transferred from". Doing a quick look at the Kentucky roster and not counting scrubs, they have 2 freshman recruits, 1 recruited player that's been there three years and the rest of the roster are transfers over 20 years old (with most being 21 and 22). Big change around from Caliparis "NBA prep machine" strategy, I think coaches see the future of championships in older players with more experience (wow! What a throwback.) Now, whether or not a coach can get those guys to "gel" and play to strengths on the floor may make the difference in a championship season and a losing one. The other factor will be "glue" guys, although you are getting some of that in transferred seniors and grad students. Painters long term advantage may be in keeping guys together for 4 years and having a great team with good players.
