    Purdue section for Friday's game

    I'm looking to pick up some tickets on the secondary market and would prefer to be aligned with Purdue "quadrant" of the arena. Any idea which sections that will be?

    WTF secondary?

    Update. Palmer just clocked 4.33 at the combine. Fastest in his draft class.

    Built for the tourney

    This year's Purdue team is a perfect storm of good coaching and players buying into the system from day 1. That helped separate this team from the pack early in the season. Now other more talented teams are catching up. There are a lot of expectations now for this team based on those early...

    Built for the tourney

    1) Crap shoot element, i.e., who is 'hot' - see Saint Peter's, etc 2) IMO some teams with NBA guys tend to dog the regular season Tuesday evening games and turn it up (especially on defense) in March. Not sure I see as many of these types this season. 3) Teams with freshmen phenoms or...

    It gets a little tougher......

    One could say that teams like Illinois, Iowa, and Northwestern are in the top half of the standings in part because they haven't had to play Purdue. Michigan St could easily be in in 2nd place right now if they had played Minnesota and Nebraska instead of Purdue 2x. Most of the conference is a...

    Thinking ahead to next year … who will back up smith at PG?

    What guard of any consequence will transfer in with Smith & Loyer playing 30+ minutes the next 3 years? We got Jenkins with both starting and back-up PG slots vacated. Probably have a better chance of getting in late flip from a class of 23 guard. Look at commits to programs who are losing...

    Zach is a cold, cold dude...lol!

    There's no reason for us to pit Fletch vs. Foster. Leave that crap for the idiot MSU fans.

    Iowa and NW game postponed due to Covid

    My family didn’t get a flu shot this year and the flu knocked us on our butts for several days. None of us got the rona booster either and if anyone has caught it we had no symptoms. For most younger and healthy people there’s no comparison.

    Realistic Goal for the Season

    Growth: There is a double edged sword whereby Painter had his team so well prepared Game 1 of the season that they might not progress during the season quite as much as some of the teams banded together during the offseason with transfers and talented freshmen. Neither true freshmen are...

    Realistic Goal for the Season

    I’m pragmatic by nature, so a Goal and a Projection are totally different animals to me. The OP is more aligned with a goal or high end projection for this team. My realistic projections based on the range of play I’ve observed from this team is more like 5-6 losses pre BTT. The thing that...

    Ouch...Deen

    Where he winds up should be a clue. I could see a program like Georgia providing a situational pass rushing tackle something on the order of a $100k NIL deal. If he ends up at a program on par with Purdue where its more like the autographs and public appearance money, then it might have to do...
