Dems not hiding it.....openly admit to violating laws to count illegal votes.

Dems just not hiding their cheating anymore.

Still Dems being Dems....Anything for power, even cheating. Check out the lady in the video half way down the article.....

PJ and the offense

The ONLY thing I would say (and this is nitpicking big time) is that out of bounds play where we tried to lob it to Myles and we forced it and it was a turnover…didn’t like that. It did seem like that may have been Sasha drawing that up. With that said, I love the aggressiveness/creativity and trying to utilize our athleticism. Just maybe not in that spot 😂
Yeah that was bad, 4 point swing.

Record Prediction / Hot Takes for 2024-2025 Season

Ace Baldwin said at Media day that he can’t wait to play Smith. Baldwin going to try and show he’s better, can’t wait to watch that matchup.

Auburn looks verrrrry good and verrry athletic. Can’t wait to see how we do.

Baldwin is a beast. He had 10A last night. And we know how good he defends. PSU did well to keep him in the fold. Yes that will be a fun individual match up. Team wise likely not as good.

PJ and the offense

Super impressed. We lose Edey and Kenpom has us #3 in offense. We have been scoring in droves against good teams. It seems like PJ is expected to takeover some day but I hope he doesn’t leave and come back like paint did and we can throw him enough money to stay the whole time.

Well to be fair amount of credit to Braden Smith and CMP.

Got to have the players and that is a credit to CMP

Take Cox for example. CMP after Perry....sees this kid instead and boom.... another Carsen Edwards like Boiler in the making.

Take TKR as another example. How many top 50's have we got from the iu back yard. Yet CMP did it.

Loyer great player that had a lot of choices. Yet CMP gets him here.

And Smith.....CMP knew what he saw before others and now is mentioned in with Keller and Parkinson as one of the Greats.

So yes, I am sure PJT is good and will have his day. We are lucky to have him. But CMP is the genius behind the whole deal.

NFL Coordinators?

Starting to see some college teams hiring coordinators from NFL. Some brilliant nfl minds that we can bring here if we are going to keep Walters. The shanahan, mcvay, lafleuer.

Maybe someone like Luke Getsy? I don’t blame him for the bears woes they just fired their replacement midway thru season. He just didn’t have the right type of QB for his system. At Oakland I mean Vegas he was also the scapegoat.

You were managing your expectations, nothing wrong with that. Nine games left this calendar year, Marshall and Toledo should be wins. The rest are pretty rough, including KenPom #1 Auburn in Birmingham. At Penn State is no joke this season.

IMO, 11 losses was too conservative but it’s probably too early to say that you were WAY off. Tuesday night at Marquette will be telling.

Fire Painter!!

I was extremely impressed with the play of Alabama just kept getting it inside. Ultra quick players with hesitation moves that embarrass defenders. Then started to hit 3s. Size to defend inside. Rebound the ball extremely well.

That AL team is no joke. Nor was their #2 rating. Sure they still need to gel with their new guys.....but I think we beat a FF team last night.

CMP though.....how fortunate we are to be in the presence of greatness.

Colvin...

Look after the game does it look like myles is upset this team is loaded with talent
Haha no. Just a running joke from last year when ppl said his body language wasn’t good. He is taking pride in his defense this year, you could see it last night, and he is a HUGE asset to the team and is only going to get better.

For sure. I think we need to understand too, that TAMUCC and NKU aren’t teams that aren’t barely going to make noise in their conferences. And that Yale is going to be a very good team in the ivy, if not THE best in the ivy.
You spun my head a little too much this early in the morning.

Well got the last part right on beating AL.

20-11 is a wrong call......
*Said it because at the time I was not seeing the TKR I knew he could be....and was down on him at the time on both sides of the ball.
*Said it because of rebounding.
*Said it because of our interior D.

It looks like the first two are trending upwards.....and the last one they still have to work on.

So happy to be wrong on the 20-11 call. Not sure what to think now until we see consistent production from TKR......I know he can do it. But has to be great more often. So I know it won't be 20-11. And happy to admit being wrong on that call.

#2 Alabama at #13 Purdue: MASTER DISCUSSION THREAD

On the flip side to that, I think he played very well those first 5 mins of the game —for him. That was the best he looked so far. Now understand, it’s not where we need him to be to make a deep run with him playing major mins. But it was encouraging to see the effort and more physicality from him than we had seen in the first 3 games.
I don’t mind him starting games—it’s kinda like TKR last year…it forces the other teams to play us differently. Liking the rotations we have and the majority of the last 2 games, TKR has played the 5 with Heide at the 4. Even Furst looked a lot better out there last night. Then we get to our closing lineup and Berg is not there (which is fine) and we go small(er).

Hopefully, he continues to improve and understand his role to allow the team to be really successful.
This. I thought the rotation was perfect. And I thought berg did fine. game was very physical and then berg helped get some fouls called and it loosened it up for us offensively. Then we switched to small ball and were able to take off.

Colvin...

i wouldn't say we were overly full because Painter showed he was willing to go over the scholarship limit. Regardless, Painter didn't need a class of 5 freshman, he could have stayed at 4 freshman and dealt with obvious holes in the roster through the portal.

But, completely agree. Also, we wouldn't even need someone like Cliff, just some middle of the pack transfer center I think would make a huge difference and set us up better for a run. And why couldn't Purdue pitch that center?

The only thing I can think of is he was all in on the two-year plan and wanted to give Jacobsen this year to develop for a run next year. But man, that's such a big risk and feels like a waste of a year with Braden and Fletch, not even mentioning the injury to Jacobsen.
Welllll…. Do ya trust Paint yet?!
