Record Prediction / Hot Takes for 2024-2025 Season

I mean tbh with you, what team looks that complete right now? I’d say not a lot at this point. All top 25 teams have struggled with lessor opponents so far. I think once 2024 ends is when we will have a better picture of what we are as a team. Just want to see improvement rebounding as a team—don’t care who the leader is, but just cut down on second chance opportunities and unforced turnovers.

Yep hope they fix it. Not sure the tools are there though after losing our starting Center. But we have one of the best coaches in the nation, so perhaps I undersold the coaches ability to get them going.
Hope I am wrong.

Yale at Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

I think there were a couple of bad calls, but in general not that atrocious. I think we're too focused on the blatant horrible call on the Colvin screen. That was so horrendous it outweighs the rest of it. Luckily, Yale didn't score on the other end and I think that preceded the Braden sneaky steal and basket.

Look, Yale is a very good team, with a very good coach, and a guy who can just get points from anywhere. He's actually from nearby me. He had 28 in their tournament win over Auburn last year. They just never went away and they showed a lot of poise and control. The Ivy is going to be a bit better this year top to bottom but they should be right in the thick of it.

Reality comes to town Alabama

DwaynePurvis00
Bama went 11/33 this last game so I expect them to hit 11 In the first half 😂

Either way, it will be good to see where we measure up at this point. Bama has A LOT of talent but with that, guys figuring out what their roles are still as some have been THE guy on their previous team. So maybe we can sneak in a win, but we will have to play well and REBOUND. Nelson, cliff and Stevenson are tall and athletic and gonna cause us some matchup issues. I’m sure paint is going to have a plan tho.

Gonna be a good one and don’t worry if we lose, boys! It’s early in the season and it’ll be great experience.

This would be an ideal time for Bob to leave the country and go join the Ukraine army, to show his support wasn't just virtue signaling. I am sure they could find a use for him such has mine sweeping.

Now is the time for you to step up, Bob, just like Winston would.

While I agree the chant should not be officially done by the Paint Crew, I certainly understand the frustration.

Maybe it is time to take paper bags (Please Gen Z, DO NOT USE PLASTIC) into the football games (aka Cleveland Browns fans)

Omg. He inherited it pre Covid? Are you freakin looney? You mean we get to just ignore the economic effects of Covid?

Biden inherited the economic conditions on 1/20/21. Not a year before that. Talk about repeating lies jfc.

the loss of DJ is big but that gap would be narrower if Furst's progression would have been alot better since his nice FR yr.

Coupled with Berg being more game ready. Thought the years practicing against Edey he would have been much better. Maybe the learning curve will lessen but not encouraged by him.

Give Burgess minutes

If you're going to jump in you need to stay on point gramps.

Bone posted "Giveaways and buying votes is right out of the democrat playbook."

Tell me in 10 paragraphs or less how those aren't giveaways and buying votes. I'm sure Thomas has an opinion.

And despite these giveaways being talked about during the campaign and on this board, not one of you "republicans" here .......nor any of the MAGA stooges in congress........has explained how trump is going to make up the revenue that's going to be lost. I guess the party platform doesn't stand for fiscal responsibility anymore unless it's to hold up legislation you don't like. The interest on the debt will be ONE TRILLION DOLLARS next year. And before one of you deflects to the dems spending like a drunken sailors because that's all you know how to do, they are no better than you are. Neither party gives a damn because they're too busy giving people sh/t to get re-elected.

Being a bit older, and a lot wiser, I understand that apples and oranges are both fruits, but different fruits. Understanding that concept should help to understand what I wrote since reading is straining for you as you attest. Did you mean no worse considering the following? (And before one of you deflects to the dems spending like a drunken sailors because that's all you know how to do, they are no better than you are.)

Now, although you are confused on the magnitude, the direction that both parties spend too much is accurate...and much of the spending does nothing to help our lives. Spending is the problem, not insufficient taxing. The blob can be cut and actually do what it should

For those interested, here are two posts from Alabama's forum about their thoughts on the game on Friday:

We better play better Friday or Purdue will kick our tails.

Bobinski needs to go before Walters

awthomps said:
Brohm leaving was the worst kept secret in Lafayette, it was clearly a done deal by the end of September. Perhaps he fooled BoBo, or gave Purdue an opportunity to counter once it became official. Either way the AD is exceptionally well not get caught without a plan B when it was so apparent where things were headed months ahead of time.
Click to expand...
Yeah.

I was OK with Bobinski staying, but if he thinks Walters deserves a 3rd season, then he’s clueless and needs to be fired stat.

Yes only had 10 TOs last night, but should have been 6 with those just careless head scratchers.

I agree we need to get better on D. Some small steps are there. Colvin an example last night. This Jacobsen deal is a bigger set back than many think. Alot of coaching to instill the will to box out in these guys by Jan. conf season.

I almost hope we don't shoot lights out and beat AL. I think they might??

But long term, hate to say it, I prefer a thrashing by AL. It would help the coaches get their attention on boxing out and interior D....both which are sub par.

Agree Jacobsen in particular with his shot blocking created some hesitation in the lane by all. As for the freshman, I remember some freshmen that played in a November tournament and kicked butt a couple years ago ....

Harris

I think we will for sure see this lineup. My only concern is that I think Cox and Harris are our two most physical defenders, which is what we will probably need to prioritize with small ball. Every one of these guards can score the ball, which is a nice luxury that allows defense and rebounding to help dictate playing time.
