I would ask what metrics are used to prove it’s even the “premier brand”…

Click to expand...

From an advertising perspective, it has to be one of the top brands in cfb - just like Preparation H in its field of endeavor.

Like it or not, it's the premier 'brand' in college football.

That's complete horseshit

I mean, I could do it pretty easily, but was surprised to see RB do it.

Take no one lightly. No emotional let down from the big road wins out West. It does no good to win on the road then lose at home. One game at a time, 40 minutes, all you've got.

Remember last year when they fired the coach and we were the next game. Looked like it should be an easy game and then we lost. Hope that we have some revenge motivation, especially from the big 3 who started that game

I’m a little surprised he’s even recruiting any ote kids.

Yep. Attack them all 40 minutes and don’t let up.

Would love to see Cox get going in the scoring column as well as our 3 pt shooting to get back to normal.

Could it be that it's because Fauci has been lying all along about his involvement in gain of function research?

That is a given

Being the 2 seed in Tennessee’s bracket would make for some sleepless nights down on Rocky Top…

In that bracket, UT would get taken care of by Gonzaga/creighton/illinois.

I’d be interested in the second round matchup of smith vs chucky hepburn

Just like the pardon for the J6 committee and his family. ALL criminals who needed pardons by the Head of the Biden Crime family.

If you had given 10% to the Big Guy, you, too, could have received a blanket pardon.

No, really likes Purdue and Painter and has a clear blueprint with Braden what the keys to the offense look like for a PG. Not sure why he went to OTE but he doesn't have the... impulses of Catchings...

Catchings has 28 minutes and 6 points his last 3 games total, BTW.

If Kinney were to commit here, I wouldn't worry about that type of stuff. Just the normal "will someone desperate drop a giant bag" type of stuff

“In a press release from Overtime Elite, Kinney is quoted as saying: “I’m really excited to be joining OTE this season. I was able to see a lot of the facility over the summer and the thought of being surrounded by top players, amazing resources and around the clock training was too good of an opportunity to pass up. While it is very difficult to leave my friends and my family in Newport, I know that this is the best place for me as I continue to prepare for college and become the best player I can be on and off the court.”

"Pushed?" I haven't read on it, but in a cursory review was unaware he was "pushed out" as opposed to seeking a governor's spot in Ohio that would be a stepping stone towards a presidential run if desired. I thought it was like musical chairs where the governor leaves for the senate and he fills the governors spot.

Click to expand...

The governor filled Vance's spot in the Senate by naming the current lieutenant governor. This removed a prime candidate for governor from the mix so the path would seem easier for Vivek.

It will for sure. But being a liberal lefty, a known Trump hater, you won't give anything he does a chance.

Lol. I don't have any choice but to give him a chance.

But he doesn't control oil production..........not to mention more is being produced in this country than ever before.

I guess he could get his billionaire buddies to produce even more oil which will drive the price down, along with their profits. No problem.

Trump has convinced you rubes that the major the cause of high prices for goods is oil.......and they will come down drastically........and QUICKLY, don't forget that part.......when he does his drill baby drill number. You turn a blind eye to basic economics and just believe what you're told.

Oh wait. He said a few weeks ago it's going to be very hard to bring grocery prices down.

I guess this is one of Bones "you actually believe what he says lol!!!" things.

Favorite scene is the flying knockout punch on the guy who tried to stiff Marissa Tomei in the pool game.

Best not to look at that stuff. It will drive you crazy.

In 2015 or 2016, I was looking at a small condo in Hilton Head. Nothing fancy, just a 2 BR, 2 Bath about 100 yards from the beach. They were selling for about $150K in one of the complexes we liked. Not sure why we didn't pull the trigger.

I looked a year or two ago and the same complex and size condos were selling for $420K.

Yeah, it looks like he has some skills but it doesn't seem to be translating into a game environment. Maybe he just doesn't have 'it', but I think getting some real playing time would help. He's certainly doesn't have elite mobility, even for his size, but IMO he looks more mobile than Haas and some other functional bigs we've seen in the Big Ten. The problem is he's not providing any of the upside benefits you need from those bigs to offset the lack of mobility relative to smaller fives.

Click to expand...

I agree. He's not a stiff. This level of competition still seems fast for him, It's hard to find 7'2 guys who can move. Would love to know if Brantly thinks he can build him into a solid player.

Why say stuff like that about a kid on a free public board? Rumor is he did not go to portal, and it was related to his injury-prone situation and his health. I’m grateful he cane here and wish him luck in life!

Click to expand...

But, is what Wolegib said wrong? Injury or not, I don't think the kid grew into his potential. I am sure all of us wish every past, present, and future Boilermaker luck in life. But, this portal is for us to share opinions, insight, observations, or thoughts on all-things Purdue Sports.

Plus, I don't think the kid is reading this board, but even if he was, would he feel that he lived up to his potential?

No. Believe Bradshaw fouled out and they needed a wide body against Ballo.
