The bottom line is that in 2016, the media said that Trump couldn't energize the economy, better secure the border, or stop International wars and skirmishes. And by golly, he did it!

He didn't stop the war in Afghanistan. But no new wars!

He'll stop all wars in one day and it will be easy.

I just think it’s asinine to look at this roster and say that we can’t compete with the Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maryland, Rutgers, IU, NW, etc in the conference.

It’s coaching. Plain and simple. Beat our peers. Compete with the better programs. That’s all we ask.

This coach does 0 to assure we are able to do either.

We both saw it last years when winnable games were shit away with dumb coaching decisions...... The more games that CRW is the coach, the more other coaches tee off on his failed scheme. To the same degree, Harrell was exposed as well. We all laughed at IU for having a High School coach as a head coach and here we are with an interim OC that is not even a seasoned High School coach...... Shame on Walters ,and shame on BoBo......

I'd suggest there are many more than just the one contradiction, but that's a separate discussion.

I asked my question because, it would seem that, if one were to believe that there is an all-good god, and that everything that happens is part of that god's plan, then that person must also accept that the hurricane, and all the death and destruction it has caused, is a good thing, actually. There can be no evil in that world, as everything that happens must be good, including rape, murder, childhood cancer, etc. If it's NOT a good thing, then it must either not be part of the god's plan (which means that god is, apparently, useless, as it doesn't have the power to succeed at executing its own plan), or, if it IS part of the plan, then that god must not be all-good.

So, for Twin to suggest that the hurricane how his version of a god is showing us "who is really in charge," it would imply that Twin believes in an evil god, who does bad things to prove a point, or a stupid god who can't think of a better way to convey a message.

And yes, prayer is hella-confusing, and seems to be part of a contradictory worldview in which a god has a plan that's too mysterious for us to understand, but also that god might change the plan if you just ask nicely enough.

Maybe it's a volume thing. More prayers=better chance of being answered. Maybe god has a sincerity test........just in case someone is trying to pull a fast one. Better chance for an individual to have his prayer answered vs the volume approach.

I wonder if a guy who hears voices thinks god is answering his prayers.

Does trump answer prayers to himself?

Kind of a weak year for star power in the B1G IMO.

I think Braden is deserving. Proud of him. Not alot of the guys on the All-Conference team exactly put fear in you though.

For example last year TSJ and Booie were guys you dreaded matching up with when they were next on the schedule. I can't imagine what other teams thought about Edey. I'm not seeing anything like that with this group.

I love your first line of 2nd paragraph. Stick to that.

Pardon me if I am wrong, but the equivocal nature of the rest of your comment makes It almost look like you are giving a backhanded compliment to Smith. Hopefully that is not the case? I see I have liked quite a bit of what you post.....so maybe I am just reading into it to much?

GeistBoiler said:

"Unforgiving" was meant to say that there haven't been a lot of cupcakes for a first time HC to cut his teeth on. He was thrown into the fire between last year and this year. Also, I say unforgiving because of what is to come. If Walters fixes what is broken and does a steller job coaching from here on out, it is highly unlikely he has much to show for it.

There’s a difference between being competitive and getting blown out. We are getting blown out. If he can be competitive vs the good teams and beat one or two of our peers then he’s “doing something”.

There’s also the fact that they were Freshmen then. Juniors now and no improvement. We should probably blame Brohm…

I'm honestly not even sure you can say he's recruited well though. I mean if you look at just the rankings themselves they say he's recruiting well, but how many of his recruits have really made a positive impact on the team so far? His transfer class coming in this year was supposedly highly rated, but I haven't seen those "SEC type" (SEC reject?) receivers doing much nor any of the others he brought in.

Click to expand...

When you’re talking about the 13th ranked class in America that signed like a week after he got here, I’m happy with just Thienemann. It’s tough. You either give him credit for that or you can’t hold the class against him. I certainly don’t penalize brohm for anyone who was bad in the 17 class

This year it’s

Grant
Beasley
Bradford
Marable
Kennedy
Irving

Those were all players a lot of schools wanted. If you’re expecting them to be showing up 4 games into their true freshman season, ask yourself what other coach you’ve ever expected that from?

You were lied to about the transfer class. Purdue transfers have been a reflection of a very low dollar NIL approach. Very few have ever graded above 70 by pff at a p4 school. Those who have

Card
Dinkins
Sillah
Madden
Green

Have done so on <270 snaps. In some cases less than 100. What you’re seeing is what we paid for. That’s why, when pressed by Brian “what transfer is actually good” in the Saturday simulcast, Tom sheepishly admitted that it’s … just Reggie love. Before of course saying they should have paid Scourton and Burks. But those dudes got paid by sharks.

Indiana has two transfers that have nothing to do with James Madison.

Ellison RB wake forest
77 pff last year (only nyland green has ever graded that high on Purdue as far as transfers). Also graded in the mid 70s the previous two years averaging about 350 snaps for all 3 seasons.

West DT Kent state
Graded at an 87 last year. Purdue has never had a g5 transfer grade higher than 77. Stewart, this years prized transfer, was mid 60s last year.

I bet you like cignetti huh? Word is IU donors have the AD tens of millions to this end. Probably majority basketball but they are spending like sharks in football.

Holding transfers against Walters would be as dumb as holding it against the next coach.

Fighting for Trump. LOL

I have been completely honest about Trump and posted quite a bit about what a bad & terrible candidate he is....several times. I know you have seen this as you responded to the posts. That is the opposite of emotion. That is the opposite of fighting hard for him. Admit it, you are wrong again.

Btw ....Please by all means, direct me to 3 negative things you have said about K2. Don't worry about looking, you haven't. Thus, it appears YOU are the one "fighting hard" for K2....when she too is a terrible candidate. Fighting so hard you can't admit the truth when it is presented to you above because you are so emotional about K2, fighting hard......accusing me of what you are guilty of. LOL

Mexico needs harsh, harsh punishment for decades of illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Close the border, build the wall, move all US troops in NATO to our southern border and deport all of the illegals into Mexico, regardless of their home country.

Tell that to Bobinski. He obviously thought different or he would have made a move sooner. Maybe he did and we don't know about it. He wouldn't want to say too much as the team was preparing for the BT championship. No one was sitting in the stands and saying "did you know Brohm was leaving?" It was a non topic. So even though we knew that Brohm coveted the UL job and felt that someday he would be going back, no one knew when it was going to happen until it did. When I heard that Satterfield was leaving, then I was worried Brohm would leave. Purdue played Michigan for the Big Ten Championship on December 3rd. Satterfield was announced head coach at Cincinnatti on December 5th. Brohm was named head coach at Louisville on December 8th. So if you saw that coming in that timeframe, you are some kind of seer. I do agree with you and others that it always seemed like we were on borrowed time with Brohm. UL was always on his mind.

Click to expand...

Im not sure where you were sitting in the stadium but It remained a topic even after Brohm turned down the U of L job. His family was living in Louisville, the Louisville Football Program was on fire and they hated their coach.
This forum visited the topic of Brohm moving on in multiple threads....

BCfanatic2020 said:

But I’ve asked what players got materially worse? According to pff only Mockobee has regressed under Walters.

But when the current 5th, senior and junior class have like 5 guys playing well, yeah even a good coach was going to struggle here. And no, Walters has not been good. He’s recruited well though, so it should be easier for the next guy IF he gets the financial backing he needs or revenue sharing kicks in

Pff to me is like this. Of course it’s not exact. But what do you think the chances are they have Moussa at 59.0 and he’s really will shields lol

Again who these Unions endorse makes NO difference.

To be clear, Harris is poling very poorly with men, what most these Unions are.

I showed you evidence why Trump will win the Union vote. Apparently, you didn't understand it, thus, likely why you felt compelled to post the dribble about meaningless union leadership you posted.

Have a good day.

It concerns me that our final 4 run did absolutely nothing for our recruiting ability. So long Sisley and Catchings. So long Mullins and Haralson. Painter is already going to plan B. You’d think at least 1 top 50 player would want to play for Purdue.

Purdue will be fine without them. But it would be nice if some top 50 talent were interested in playing for Purdue and Painter.

I can’t believe players really want to play for IU or Woodson. I also believe the NIL MONEY is not much of a difference as players can make their own NIL deals

I have to believe the real reason is lack of guaranteed playing time.

I like how you make statements, talk to yourself, and then answer your own questions/statements. Then convince yourself you were right along….even though you’re completely wrong, well with that totally unnecessary first part. You answered yourself at the end.
