Open border for 4 years….

Why now? Wtf does that have to with it? Maybe because we are about to change administrations? It's New Year's Day? There's a ton of people in New Orleans for a football game?

Of course we're going to learn a lot about the killer's motive in the days and weeks ahead. Maybe he had a relative killed in the ME by an American bomb. Maybe he was radicalized in a mosque........if they allow such things in the freedom loving state of Texas. Maybe he had mental issues. Nah, it's gotta be about the border. Maybe you're just following the leader.

Kennedy says we will learn the truth implying that has not happened for a few years

IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

You make some good points and I am the first person to acknowledge IU’s horrible history in football, that’s clearly documented. IU might have lost some of those hypothetical games that you suggested, especially at Michigan.

I am also fine with the automatic qualifiers, but I hope the top 4 ranked teams are given the byes moving forward.

I assume that I am older than you because I have had the username 5-0 whenever I signed up at peegs.com around 2002. I don’t mind your username, you are a fan Purdue, no big deal.
How do you feel about quad games?

Women BB at Iowa

I have hated the lazy hire of an NAIA coach since it was announced, but I have tried to give her a chance to prove herself. She looked good re-energizing players worn down by Versyp's blame thrower with players developed by other D1 coaches, so I thought maybe she won't be too bad. Then recruiting started picking up compared to the end of the Versyp era, and I got a little less skeptical. But it has become more and more clear the Versyp 4 statues set play offense is the only thing Gealrds knows how to coach, and she's even worse at it than SV was. Couple that with this staff has shown ZERO ability to develop the players they get and its just a matter of time and suffering of the fans before she is fired. She has shown no ability to build a program, coach in game situations, or develop the talent she gets.

Her ability to evaluate talent is now seriously in doubt with the idiotic comment that Collier is the best shooter she has ever seen when she has had a front row seat for 3 years watching Caitlyn Clark put a shooting clinic on against us. It just makes her look either stupid or with no ability to judge talent or someone that just pops off whatever stupid thing pops in her head and has yet to realize dumb coaching comments last forever and are things used against you on the recruiting trail.

There's plenty to criticize KG about, but your obsession to compare Collier to Clark to make up a phony critical comment about KG is getting old. Go back a read the discussion on on this topic last June. This was not a "stupid" statement. KB was only referencing shooting. I think Collier has near a 95% FT shooting percentage during her college career (last year she shot 96.1% (146-152) of her FTs). As previously indicated, that was the best percentage of the thousands of men's or women's DI, DII, DII, or NAIA players last year. So, you would rather have Clark at the FT line? Shooting open shots within her range, it is very plausible that Collier would hit a higher percentage compared Clark. KG made absolutely no statement about Collier's ability to get open or create a shot. In fact, KG has noted her lack of ability to do so.

I'm fully on-board with moving on to a new era from the KG experiment, but you are a making a "stupid" (using your words) argument on this particular issue that is isolated to only your mind. :rolleyes:

Out of 13 scheduled bowl/playoff games, BT now 6-4.

This CFP OSU Buckeye team did not want to be around and waste it’s energy on the regular season. There is no question, this team is playing on another level and on a mission. Pressure will all be on UT in the Cotton Bowl.
Yes. and I think it's now obvious that Oregon didn't belong in the playoffs. :p (so much TIC it's coming out the other cheek)

Open border for 4 years….

Why now? Wtf does that have to with it? Maybe because we are about to change administrations? It's New Year's Day? There's a ton of people in New Orleans for a football game?

Of course we're going to learn a lot about the killer's motive in the days and weeks ahead. Maybe he had a relative killed in the ME by an American bomb. Maybe he was radicalized in a mosque........if they allow such things in the freedom loving state of Texas. Maybe he had mental issues. Nah, it's gotta be about the border.

Why now? Why not years ago? No New Year’s Day before? No football games or huge crowds before? Why now? What if it has no ties to anything to do with the border? What if he is a victim where years ago he wasn’t. You tell me…why now since you know. Maybe he had a friend that was in prison that converted to Islam that radicalized him? Why now? Once we know why now and not years ago we can piece this together a bit

Open border for 4 years….

As I told BNI…once we understand why “now” we will know more. Until then there are various reasons why now.

Purdue at MSU

I admit: I did not think it would be this bad. Purdue just hasn't been competitive against good teams, except 1 game against Maryland

Still relying heavily on senior transfers who 1) don't seem to be very effective against quality opponents--save maybe Lombard, and 2) aren't long-term solutions, anyway.

I don't blame Lombard/Bass/Collier. They are the players they are. It's not their fault they're the best options nearly half way through the season.

One honest question: is this roster a Katie Gearlds problem, an NIL problem, or some combination of the two?

We also didn't have the internet.......where people can get access to all kinds of evil ideologies and learn how to build a bomb with the click of a mouse. But you're right. Far more likely a Muslim extremist crossed the border and indoctrinated this guy. It just has to be a border problem.

I’m hearing reports that the NO incident suspect may be a black dude. A black dude that was born in the US and an army veteran. If so, that blows away any open border issue y’all are fixated about.
Not at all. You never read or understood what I wrote. Start with the why now instead of years ago for his radicalization. Not saying it had anything to do with the border , but it very well could. When we know why now, we will know more. It is also believed that he never acted alone

Daniel Penny, American Hero.

I contributed to his defense fund last time. I don't see any civil or wrongful death lawsuits going against him. He was attacked. He defended himself. End of story.
Now you see.


He should have plenty of cash to pay for his lawyers after winning his lawsuits against the Biden and the media. I think you said he was gonna be able to buy an island with all the money he received from the defamation suits lol.

perhaps? On the surface you raise a good point, but when you start to peel the onion...who did cross the border that might have led to his radicalized demeanor? Didn't have this when you were younger

SEC Hoops

What teams are the top half? About 2/3 to 3/4 of the team top 5 scorers are SR. There are not all senior/covid sr or even close. Ark has one SR as a top five scorer; 1 FR, 2 SO, 1 JR. Fla and Ala have mixed SR's and SO/FR. Ok, Tenn, Aub, Ky, Tx, Miss and TAM fall into the predominant SR top five scorers.

SEC has not started conf play. If they had play 1 or 2 conf games like the BIG then SEC would not dominate the rankings.
Okay, I'll admit I was exaggerating some.

Arkansas does not necessarily fall into that category, although I'm not sure I put Arkansas into the top half. And one of their most prominent players, Johnell Davis, is a Covid senior.

Alabama definitely should be included as old and will regress. THREE of their starters, Sears, Omoruyi, and Nelson, are Covid seniors, and so is another key contributor in Chris Youngblood.

Florida is scary and kind of an exception, but they also have three starting seniors, including a Covid senior, that are the main contributors.

IU did not deserve to be in CFP. Great article by USA Today

I don’t know who you are but using 5-0 is truly ironic arguing about indiana football being good when historically they were the worst program in P5 history and your name mocks Purdue for winning 5 championships before your lifetime when Purdue has dominated indiana in recent history.

Anyways i continue to say indiana deserved to play in the playoffs. I don’t think they were the best 12 teams. Im not even sure they were the 4th best team in the big ten, if they play Michigan in Ann Arbor do they win that game? How about Illinois, wisconsin, Iowa, or even Minnesota? We will never know as they didn’t play each other and not enough body of work. But the CFP selection process this year I agree they deserved to get in and also agree there is a huge drop off after 6 teams.

What we do know and is relevant to these conversations is it has been widely reported they would see how it went this year and make changes. And with the reactions we are seeing I do expect we will see some changes. Tv ratings were favorable so I don’t expect we will see a reduction in games. Maybe less byes for automatic qualifiers and you out the best teams regardless of AQs so the first round of games are more evenly matched up and the clear bear get the byes. So Penn state and Texas get byes and in indianas case they probably play noise state in the first round and make that more exciting. Or get rid of AQs. Or they use quad games like in basketball. Not sure if that eliminates indiana still in the case for this year.
