First NET rankings are out.. currently have Purdue at 21st and 6th in the Big Ten. Looks like we have some work to do.

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

"I'm not doing another three-game MTE again," Hurley said.
Can you imagine being a fan of any team with a HC saying things like that? What a wuss. A total Beta-Male HC.

After both initially declaring for the NFL Draft, Jeffrey M’Ba and DJ Wingfield will now enter the transfer portal.

This follows yesterday’s ruling, giving players who played JUCO one more year of eligibility for the 2025-26 season.

The first move of Coach_Walters as head coach of Purdue Football was to cut 20 scholarship players.

This was claimed by one of the players that was cut, I think.

Joining Christian Moore in coming from UNLV to Purdue is 6-foot-8, 290-pound tight end Christian Earls.

Earls has been an effective blocking tight end, with his size being a weapon in the run game. He has two catches for 25 yards over the last two seasons in limited action.

We obviously really need him to come. But am I out of my mind or did we get an out of the blue commitment from this guy out of high school and then a quick flip to Arkansas

Last at-large with Clemson the next at-large behind them. A win at 15 South Carolina for clemson or a Texas A&M win out could bump them. Of course they could move up with some upsets. Sure seems like the committee is setting themselves up to be bumped if more deserving teams prevail.

Hearing Hudson, Chicoine, Myers, and Carr are all in the portal. Carr is one thing, but why would 3 starters and stars from a top 15 team leave?

We've seen him play well and we've seen him get "tired" very quickly. Matt's talked about his conditioning, and he certainly knows every inch of that. BUT i also see a seemingly high motor, high strung guy that seems to over adrenalize and play a bit "frantic" and with the usual result of quick exhaustion. Maybe even more than Berg, the game is happening very quickly and he's using a lot of energy on non productive movements and over reactions.
Probably pretty clear that I like Caleb and he's doing some good things for the team. But his inability to finish at the rim is hurting us. And seems to be developing into a "thing" with him. Certainly defenses are all over it if he gets it low. We need another post player that can operate to give Trey a break and let him float out a bit. Defensively Caleb is our best post defender, but Raleigh will be good in time.
i guess I'm hoping he starts getting regular minutes with the goal of having him be a factor off the bench by tourney time. Trey and Caleb may well be our best "big" lineup this year, but there's going to be game where we need to play big and 1 or both of them pick up fouls.
Im not down on Will, but the teams that give us the most trouble seem to be smaller and quicker in general, at least so far. I think he'll have some games where he's a factor.

I just got up, 8:30 am MST. Logged on...hoping that he had been sacked. What is taking so long? He cannot fix the mess he created.

OK the list shown below lists several good options but includes our old friend Jamarcus Shephard. He has been co-offensive coordinatory/receivers coach at UW and Alabama. I don't know if he actually called any of the offensive sets though.

Would you consider an offensive coordinator from one of the elite programs (Alabama, Penn State, Georgia, etc.) or would you rather have a successful head coach from a smaller school (Chadwick, Candle, Dickert, Helton, etc.).

As much as Shephard intrigues me, I'm hesitant to go with a coach with no prior head coaching experience.

high 3 star DB flip from UNLV

Some of his comments might be of interest to some.

They play in college football's most impressive stadium, Allegiant.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for this squad to play this tough of a schedule?

Personally, I think it’s a good thing and taking our lumps early is good for team chemistry and for the new guys to learn from the older guys.

We won’t be seeing a top seed in the tourney but this team will be experienced once March rolls around. Get the right draw and who knows how far these guys can go.
