PU has no... offensive line that is of B10 Calibur, a defense that can't stop a puppy, but does have a very good punter who has to be voted Player of the year.

Seeing what he just did I, would it surprise you if Matt did this in next 5 years with the state of College athletics?

Watching Phoenix I am reminded how much energy he brought to us last year , who fills that role this year ? Not really sure any of you guys have any thoughts ?

And some nice words:

7. Purdue​

Lose the best player in school history and stay a top-10 team? That's what great culture and elite coaching will do for you. That's what Purdue has. The only school to win more games over the past three years than Purdue is the one I have ranked at No. 2. The Big Ten — now a ridiculous, nobody-asked-for-this 18-school union — feels as hodgepodge as ever. But I'll take the Boilermakers to emerge at the top again. Three starters are back, the most important being Braden Smith, who could become a top-three point guard if this offense regenerates properly, Doctor Who-style, without Zach Edey. Purdue, in total, has 46% of its scoring back from last season's team that made it to the national championship. Look for Trey Kaufman-Renn to be THE breakout player in the Big Ten. In two seasons he's averaged 4.5 and 6.4 points. That number should double, minimally. Caleb Furst is also likely to bust from his shell.

But this is Purdue, so let's talk centers. Who are the new towers in play? There's Daniel Jacobsen (7-4) and Will Berg (7-2). The Jesse Pinkman memes about Painter continually recruiting alien-sized players will continue apace once the games get going. Purdue has rostered a 7-footer 13 years in a row which, for all we know, is an all-time NCAA record. (If you know of a school that's had a 7-footer for 14 straight seasons, please find me.)

Here's an intriguing note from Purdue: The team brings back 60% of its starting minutes from a season ago. Why does that matter? This is the 11th time under Painter that Purdue has brought back that much year-over-year. The eight most recent times Purdue brought back "at least 110 starts" from the year before, Purdue made the Sweet 16 in six of those seasons. Its winning percentage in those eight seasons: .789. That's really, really good. And given the growth of Smith and Fletcher Loyer, it should signal stability in the foggiest power conference in college basketball. Purdue has 113 league wins the past eight seasons. No high-major team claims more. Its Big Ten reign will continue by winning a fifth conference title in a nine-year span.

Purdue is shut out at home as the Walters era continues to disappoint.

It still 9 hours to kickoff, but our thread is now live!

I keep hearing this? So, he, Simmons and players watched the brohm film and called the O? I’m confused

Whose scheme was predicated on having every guy go 1v11 every play.

Six guys in your 5th year, senior and junior classes. Tell me where I’m wrong

Wanna look at the 03 team? Again, if a much better coach comes here next year, that 2021 and 2022 class is still going to be a problem.

They could have hung it up and if I'm honest, I thought the did first half.

But what a spark the O caught and made it into a fun game as the team battled back and nearly won.

Who knew the D signal caller could generate so much Offense.

With less than two weeks away before the first exhibition game, I thought I'd throw out my starting lineup prediction with some thoughts compared to last years main lineup.

1. A. Reynolds
2. Spider Jones
3. Swanson
4. Bass
5. McCarthy

Overall, I believe this lineup is more athletic and talented than last years starting lineup. Although we lack the experience, I think we may be a better team because of the upgrade in athleticism.

I'm excited to see what Amiyah can bring to the table. No doubt we'll miss Terry's rebounding, but I think Amiyah will bring more of a scoring punch to the PG spot. I also like her length, as long as the quickness is there, she could be a hell of a defender.

I'm expecting a noticeable jump in development from Jones and Swanson.
Bass should be a steady presence for us with all the experience she brings.

Mccarthy has good height and reports are she moves well for her size. I'd guess she would be a upgrade defensively from C.Harper based on those two points above. Hopefully she can communicate call outs as well as Caitlyn did.

Tough schedule, but I'm looking forward to seeing the team play.

It is a busy weekend on campus with multiple sprots at home, including a home volleyball match in Mackey.

He should pivot to being an OC after he’s fired. He really dialed up some good stuff today. Helps to have a QB who is willing to pull it and run on the read option, and who seemed to care. Card should not play another snap here. I hope he goes somewhere else for one last yeat and has success, but he was not the guy for us.

But seriously, Walters was good today running the O. He should pivot.

2 reasons:
1) Vandy vs Bama
2) #2 teams coming into Ross Ade

OU is coming off an emotional win, playing an overmatched Purdue team, but it is on the road, a night game and should be a good atmosphere.
Throw Browne out there an tell him to go make plays. Yeh, a couple guys have to be special but we've seen it before.

Guys on Black and Gold last night seemed unsure if Browne would be the starter this week. Had me wondering what they've been watching this year outside of ISU.

Is there seriously any doubt as to who starts this week?

The only real question to me is why in hell didn't the staff have Browne in games prior?
