Yesterday Myles started the game with a break away dunk and ended it with a fabulous two point in the paint , both of these guys have suddenly had the switch turned on ..
Was interested in your guys take on what happened from the rather quiet preseason first 3 games till post Marquette?

I had high hopes for Walters and, at the same time, anticipated this to be a down year.

If we decide to clean house, who do we bring in?

What are the thoughts on Robert Selah. Urban Meyer, or Jon Gruden?

The Purdue airport is usually pretty busy, but interesting at looking at some of the further distance comings and goings.....

Incoming this morning/early afternoon:

Jet from Fort Wayne
Jet from San Antonio, TX
Jet from DC area
Jet from Lancaster, PA
Jet from New Jersey (close to the Rutgers area)

Some of these line up with either areas close to some names that have been bantered around or close to larger schools.

I don't have a FlightAware account, so can't really go back in history to see the last couple of days, so who knows what else might be out there. I'm not seeing the Purdue jet coming and going from the list....many of these are from a couple of rent-a-jet companies.

This team needs the opposition to miss shots. But they allow too many good ones. They’ve got to get so so so much better defensively, which everyone knew would be a thing. But it just looks so bad when we have to take the ball out after a made basket or free throw. It’s just Braden being hounded and handing it off 40 feet from the basket, then back to him, and then nothing.

Frustrating to watch us get dog walked twice already. But we have a good coach and good players, so let’s find some answers.

I read an article today that indicated Bobinski was told to hire Walters. Walters was not his first choice, it was Tyson Helton of Western Kentucky but he was overruled. Have no
idea if that's true or not, but it makes sense. So whomever decided that Walters was to be the HC not only put the program back at least 3 years but also peed away 9 million dollars, which Purdue can ill afford to lose!

I remember him being a target a few years ago. He's 87-64 at NCST, only 53, 12 yrs as a HC in the ACC.
Don't know much about his recruiting, offensive philosophy or players in the NFL.
Seems to check a lot of boxes.

A thread for Purdue’s outgoing transfer portal defectors this cycle.

I hope that Bo might get Bees’ input on a new coach. I am sure Brees has many connections. What does everyone think?

Chuck Martin, Miami (Ohio)​

Miami (Ohio) coach Chuck Martin walks on the field during warmups prior to his team's game against Miami (Fla.) at Hard Rock Stadium.
Maybe the 64-66 record isn't impressive, but Martin has taken the Redhawks to five bowl games and has recruited Indiana well. Prior to making the jump to FBS, Martin succeeded Brian Kelly at Division II Grand Valley State, where he went 74-7 in six seasons and made three appearances in the NCAA Division II national championship game, winning twice. That earned him a job on Kelly's staff at Notre Dame, where he eventually became offensive coordinator before taking the Miami job in 2014.


If you can go 74 and 7 at GVS which is a bonified football powerhouse, and five bowl games at Miami of Ohio, along with knowing the recruits in the Midwest, he might be a solid choice. And he's' only making 600K at Miami.

Bo says he'll name the next coach in the next ten days.

It's the start of Big Ten play for the Boilers in Happy Valley.

But after last night I see us at best finishing somewhere between 4th -6th in the league with a 9-10 tourney seed.
What do you analyst think 🤔?

Is there a counter to it? If so, why can’t we figure it out? It feels like it just blows up our sets every single game and we become discombobulated.

According to The Athletic, UNC is talking to Belichick about their coaching position. First of all, I'm not convinced this is going to happen, but I have two thoughts:

1) I think it would be a spectacular failure. Belichick has never coached college, never recruited, never won without Brady at QB

2) If it does happen, it makes it more likely that some of our top choices (especially Chadwell IMO) would be more likely to be available.

The floodgates have started to open as four Boilermakers are already exiting to the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Transfer Portal Tracker:

We have an inversion that set in a couple days ago. Right now it is 27 degrees with some moderate to dense fog, along with a misty feel. It will be a blue ice game on the Smurf Turf I think. Could be Odom's last game at UNLV.

Purdue falls in its Big Ten opener at Penn State.

Purdue will play the first two rounds of the NCAA Tourney right here in West Lafayette.

For a change of pace around here, anybody putting money in Bitcoin, Ethereum or any alt coins? I'm kicking myself for not buying some bitcoin years ago. I played around with mining a few years ago but didn't do much and lost interest because the price was only around 30-40 a coin. Now.. $2500 a coin. I just recently started reading up on it but it looks like a potential change is coming Aug1 for bitcoin which could drive the price down, or at least drive money to an alternative in the short term. Ethereum is a leading contender, LiteCoin also could benefit. It's a fascinating and relatively undiscovered area investment-wise but appears to be on the verge of blowing up as it is becoming mainstream.

Thoughts?

Didn’t see that coming, usually I’m real close predicting lines, told my friend Purdue would be 2-3 point favorites, going to be a tough one, Vegas is daring you to bet Purdue, don’t like that at all.

"Goon-Ball"(tm Dick Bennet) defensive teams. Rutgers twice, Wisc, Maryl, and NW.
