90% chance Purdue will win. Let's do this! Please beat Mich St by at least 10 points.
Chance to beat MSU?
- Thread starter Boilermaker
- Start date
Screw msu and cry baby izzo. Purdue has a 100% chance to destroy sparty
Bravos. So glad they won. I hated that they treated Biggie like that (giving out a paper telling fans to boo him and call him a name - disgusting)
Weren't they just saying to chant his name "Caleb"? That's pretty tame. I did hear "traitor" a few times too but I'm doubting that's anything he'll lose sleep over tonight. Frankly I expected much worse.
Chris Forman tweeted that he heard a lot of F you's and also Fatass
i was just going to post the same
hilarious since he's in better shape than likely 99% of the izzone and will become a pro athlete
It turns out you were wrong and I was right. Painter came through and won a game he was supposed to win as a favorite, like I thought he would and should. Boiler Up.
Its called the built in excuse and this board, in particular, is awful at it. Whether conciously or not, people are going out of their way to build in excuses for future games instead of just accepting reality - we are the better team and should win and a loss is a big disappointment. Too many Painter loyalists who want to have a fallback plan in the event he gets embarrassed is my guess. Well, he didnt get embarrased - he took a superior team on the road and won a game he was supposed to win. And he wouldve won by a lot more had MSU not ran insanely hot from 3.
And negatwitts like you try to over-inflate expectations and then when we lose, jump off of a ledge and make it a bigger deal than it is. That's the strategy of you that tie entirely too much self-entitlement in to a sport.
Yep.
Just like the Jay Wright apologists needed one the other night.
Just like the Bill Self apologists needed one the other night.
Just like the Calipari apologists needed one the other night.
That's just this week. We can go back further in the season and hit most coaches in college basketball with an upset if you want. Doesn't make any of those guys bad coaches.
You are absolutely 100% correct. The only way guys like that feel like a winner is through other people and nobody, especially sports teams he has almost nothing to do with, better let icewind7 down! Only icewind7 lets icewind7 down!

Reviewing this post in hindsight reveals just how dead on you were. My favorite part of the game was the way we ran patient, deliberate, get the ball in the post offense through the the last 4:00 minutes. Completely opposite of how did it at Iowa. Nice job by both Purdue and rgarlitz.
I highly doubt the Villanova fans were predicting them to lose at Marquette. They expected to win.
Just like we were right to expect a win at MSU. Painter was supposed to win. He had the best player, beyter team, deeper team, more experienced team, and a decided size advantage. All that and you still saw a ton of MSU predictions for some odd reason. Quit building in excuses and expect wins. This wouldve been a huge disappointment had Painter took this team in and loee to that team.
As it was, he didnt lose. He won, pretty easily. Wouldve been a blowout had MSU not ran stupid hot from 3 in the first half to keep it close.
Well if they didn't expect to lose then they were obviously wrong.
The truth is that a win or a loss in that game wouldn't have shocked any neutral observer. We were very slight favorites. I'm sure you would've been a big drama queen about it had we lost but those of us that have followed basketball for more than a couple of years would've been slightly disappointed and then moved on.
