I'ma help ya out - here is the argument "for" Purdue:

Your out-of-conference losses were to decent teams - Marshall (9-2), Va. Tech (5-6, with 3 very solid recent games), and Bowling Green (8-3 in a strong MAC).

You had a good showing at MSU (lost 24-21), beat Nebraska and played NW tough.

Your scoring defense is a FG better than ours (considering all games), your total defense is almost 70 yards better than ours, and your pass defense is 97 yards better than ours.

Your rush defense is 20 yards worse than ours - but Jordan Howard may not be healthy enough to play.

We have to win to bowl - so the pressure is on us.

We both benefit from a great Bucket Game.
See ya at the yard.

Thanks for the post.It is sad to see how few people are interested in the Bucket Game these days.
 
I always used to look forward to Bucket week as a fun, emotional capstone to even a down season, because at the very least I had the sense that Purdue was engaged, and building toward something. ... with this overmatched idiot at the helm, enjoying the apparent full blessing of a demonstrably disengaged university leadership, I just want it all to "go away".....
You have every right to be giddy and excited about a memorable beat-down of your rival, because this is precisely the kind of winnable game that Purdue under Hazel has consistently been destroyed in. ..
 
I have no doubt the players themselves will bring the emotion. But we are so abysmally coached and schemed...Daryl has literally sucked away the passion I had for getting back OUR bucket. ...

Congrats in advance.

I feel your pain, we have to deal with Tom Crean

enjoy your upcoming victory, we are just too beaten down, the only positive for us if any of our fans would jump off the press box during the 4th quarter of the romp , it would be the only casualty.
