You've posted that three times now.......and apparently you still haven't read the entire article.

Putin is old school KGB and USSR. He wants to reclaim the glory of mother Russia. He has tried to violently get the band back together since he took over.

The other reason Putin wants Ukraine back..........he's not crazy about a prosperous democracy with ties to the west on his border whether they are in NATO or not. Lots of family and social ties between the two countries. People in Russia might get exposed to freedom and free speech and economic opportunity. He's worried about change from the inside, something the war is making more possible. He wants his people scared and obedient and a thriving Ukraine is a threat to him. It's a not a bad life according to Skydog but definitely not for everybody.

Since when does our foreign policy come from Moscow? Reagan is rolling over in his grave.

You make a case for the wealthy Euro countries to defend Ukraine, a non-Nato country, if they think it is in their best interests.

Or are you worried in your lib-dem delusional state that Russia plans to take Europe first, then move on to America?

To your credit, at least you list some reasons. 95 has been reduced to sputtering about Hitler.

Again, since when does Moscow dictate our foreign policy? Who are we to tell Ukraine they shouldn't fight for their freedom against a tyrannical murderer?

We shouldn't be telling Ukraine anything other than we do not support their entry into NATO and that we do support the efforts to repel an invasion and will provide all the weapons their wealthy Euro neighbors are willing to buy them, if they think Ukraine is worth defending.

I cannot believe that there are Americans that don’t flat out celebrate Ukraine. BLAMING Ukraine or the US? That is ridiculous and disgusting.

Click to expand...

BLAME is your poor choice of words, not mine. Here is what has transpired.

For two decades, Putin warned that any Warsaw Pact nation joining NATO would be considered an act of war. On Nov. 10, 2020, the U.S. and Ukraine signed a Charter on Strategic Partnership which asserted America’s support for Kyiv’s right to pursue membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Putin then launched the invasion of Ukraine, just as he said he would.

Now, you can argue about 'blame' all you want but the fact is that there would be no war in Ukraine right now if the U.S. and Ukraine had not signed that Charter on Strategic Partnership for NATO membership on Nov. 10, 2020.

The issue isn't Moscow 'telling' us what to do. Putin said that any Warsaw Pact mnation joining NATO would be considered an act of war, and it was.

I said it was stupid on here twice....now 3 times.

But as you can see from my post above, all people have a choice between feckless word salads or actual great policies that would help their families.

Many folks of all races, even blacks that find Ts past statements offensive are holding their nose & choosing the latter...... because they are smart and know what's best for their families.

Are colleges obligated to continue to keep the player on the team and receive all the perks if a player declares he is redshirting without the school's approval?

In the past I would say this would hurt recruiting but with players bailing out on late season and/or Bowl games if a school chooses COULD they tell them to hit the road with today's Portal movements....I am wondering?

Click to expand...

From what I’ve seen the player seems to be moving on on his own.

The 2 kids at UNLV I’m pretty sure they left the team.

It seems like Bear Alexander is going to stick around at USC and use them and their facilities til he finds a new home.

It’s irrelevant they are changing the roster sizes. I don’t think it will be the firm 13 player scholarship limit. This will result in more traditional scholarship players coming out for Purdue, less walk-on opportunities, and transfers will be marginal as we will have such a deep bench unless we have a major unolanned exodus. I do think we have a 3 player class in 2025 which gets us to the 15 player roster limit, anyone leaving early will be replaced by walk-ons or marginal transfers. 2026 then will have 4 person class and so on.

I have said this many, many times, but Card is not a running QB. You’re on here all condescending talking about you just understand football at a high level and you post nonsense like “offense needs to be qb run heavy.” I mean come on man. I’m sorry but that cannot be a serious suggestion.

Card can scramble and make plays. That’s about all he appears to be able to do, in fact. But you have to be joking. He is not good at the read option at all. If he was, last week would’ve probably been different. You’re asking for just straight QB runs like it’s Cam Newton I guess 🤣

Click to expand...

He’s looked his best when him running is an element of the offense. Look back to the IU and Minnesota games….you know…those few games we won last year… He even led the team in rushing in one of those…

YOU think he’s not a running QB. I’m not saying base the whole damn offense around it but when he’s not a threat to run we generally don’t have success. Remember the IU game and the late TD he threw? Mock was wide open because the whole team bit on his run fake because he had eaten them up on the ground to that point. It’s the most reliable way to get guys open in the pass game…why not use it? Then didn’t he take a called run to the end zone to win? Yeah he’s totally not a running QB…lol.

Instead of being so dense and stuck in this box that Harrell’s offense has you in…why not think dynamically? You’re one of the ones pushing the narrative that we don’t run Card because we were “saving” him for something. But what was that? He can’t really throw!

Use all of your weapons. All of your threats. Well, that is if you want to win…

Seeing as you were a Walters tugger all during the offseason…yeah I’d say that I understand football much better than you.

I called our turnaround in 2021 after the bad injuries in 2019 and the Covid year. I called us being substantially worse this year then we were even last. Do I just guess right…or do I have eyes and understand what I’m seeing? I said we would see what we are seeing and why all up and down this board for 8 months….but I personally do t know football?

FOOLISH.

Offense needs to be QB run heavy. Card can’t offer you more in the pass game so get him out there using all his assets. Get the ball to Mock and Love and Klare as much as you can wether in the pass or run game. Those are our best players…why force it to anybody else if you’re forcing it? Offense still lacks any real deception. Until that’s fixed we are relying on sheer talent which will lead to 0 more wins.


Agree that KJ needs to be back at OLB. That said, this coach has never set the edge…I’m not expecting us to miraculously start tomorrow.

Would have been interesting to see Nyland Green in action but seeing as Nebraska won’t need to throw it it seems like those talents will be wasted. Another game that’s over when the ball is first kicked I’m afraid.

The BTN alternate channel doesn't have it listed because it's not on the BTN alternate channel. Or did I misunderstand what you're saying?
