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

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!

Purdue is trying to avoid its longest losing streak in 116 years. The last time it lost 11 in a row was all five games of the 1906 season, all five games of the 1907 season, and the season opener in 1908 before Earlham 40-0.

It could be worse. The 1906 season was so bad Purdue scored a grand total of five points.

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

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.

Anyone hearing 'credible' rumors?
I have a buddy who's a big time donor, but he might have to sign a NDA if he's consulted.

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 🤔?

Purdue faces its second of four ranked SEC teams this season.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just announced that he’s enters the Portal…

Purdue falls in its Big Ten opener at Penn State.
